The victorious rush of the University or wasnington Huskies toward a northwest basketball pennant ran headlong into a snag here tonight against the Oregon Aggies. OAC won a thrilling game 3J to 29 in the last seven minutes by coming up from behind with a barrage of baskets shot from all angles. i .: " Washington was leading 25 to 23, with' seven minutes to go.

EUGENE, Or., Feb. 2. The University of Oregon's chances of winning in the 'basketball game with University of Washington here Monday were lessened today when it was announced that Hal Chapman, veteran guard, is out of the game with an injury to one of his knees. It is the same in jury that kept him out of several games during the football season. Coach Reinhart has not yet an nounced who will replace Chap man. Eastern Wasnington Teach erS Reputed tO Have Fast Basketball Five One of the best non-conference teams of tfte"northwest will play Willamette university in a basket ball game Monday night, when the quintet of the Washington State f Normal school of Cheney, Wash., comes on the floor.

So far this season the teachers have experienced only two defeats, one at the hands of Washington State college by the score of 30 to 27. Thp other was in a close game ; with the Spokane Athletic associa tion. The northern team Is mak ing a tour at this time and up to date has played seven games, winning all but one on the tour This one was the Spokane game The Washington - State Normal school has a student body of about the same size as Willamette and there is no doubt that this fray will be a fast one and full of thrills as the teams are so evenly matched. It is a certainty that Stienciph- er. Bearcat iorwara, wm not De in the game because of injuries sustained in practice. Logan, the Willamette captain who plays at center, is not expected to start the game but will probably be pnt in for a few minutes if the sprain in his toot does not pain him Fans are expecting some pretty team work it Jones plays at center for the cardinal and gold. In pre vious games Jones has not been listed as a heavy scorer, but it is his quick snap passes that work the ball, into a scoring position soon after the tip-off. Cheney has a record of. having won 56 out of 66 games played in the last three years. It claims the non-conference championship of eastern Washington and Idaho It has only been defeated twice this year, by Idaho and WSC Coach Eustis, of the visitors, ia an old pupil oi uoacn uuy L,, Rathbun, of Willamette, having received his experience under Coach Rathbun while at Beloit, Wisconsin.

Schneider of Pacific and Faust of Whitman were tied for high scoring, with 7 points eacn, tnougn neither played the full game, the former receiving an injured shoul der. MOSCOW, Idaho. Feb. 2.

In the family dining room at his place at the table, stood the empty chair on which lie used to steady himself while he murmured grace before sitting down to meals even in other days when he was so ill that his voice was hardly audible. In the bed chamber, close be iide him on a little stable lay a well worn volume the Bible from which he - never failed to read a passage before going to bed.
