The Dallas College basket ball team is now at home undergoing repairs, except one man left in the Salem hospital after the game with Chemawa. Although Dallas was able to lift the scalps of the Che mawa braves, the verdict of the learn 4s that the wardsof Uncle 8am are very much lacking in theelement of decency to visitors and that poBsibly the old gentleman could devote a few dollars profitably in teaching these untutored savages a few of the com mon courtesies, as well as the rules of the game of basket ball, "The Dallas club, though, spoaksin the highest terms of their treatment by the Willamette University club -and the Balnm people. They say that fair plaving and Just rulings, by the officials, waB al ways In evidence ami that the loaa of the the game was attributed to their own play ing, and expressing themselves as having no fault to find with their opponents. The Willamette olub will be welcome od the floor of the Dallas College club next Fri day evening, find are desirous that the Salem rooters comdown in force, for the general impression is that te Uulvertdty -team will need alt the eu courage me nt they con get from home for Dallas has the moat provoking crowd of rooters in the state. However, one thing Salem can de pend on, is a fair and honest deal, clean playing on the part of the Dallas club, though her rooters are at times some what boisterous and provoking, especially when things go their way." We are surprised that the Dallas boys should roaBt the Indian boys in that man ner. It is true the game nas a not one, and both sides played for dear life. But it is stretching the truth a whole lot to cill our boys roughB. There was some rough playing on both Bides, hut we believe It was unintentional, and caused only by over excitement. The Indian hoyB of this school, and 'l other schools have won a reputation for being gentlemen on the base-ball field, foot ball grounds, and gymnasium. They do not grumble, growl, chew the rag, swear, use profame language, like many of their while brothers of contesting teams. We regret Very much that one of tha Dallas boys was severely injured, but die Dallas players assured the Superintendent of this school it was done by aoeirlant en tirely, and not intentionally- Fur the young men to go home and then rip us up the back, censure our players and criticise the manner in which they were treated t, we consider, very small and unmanly, and it is also unjuatund misleading, .
