February 2nd in this city the Univer
sity basketball team will play its firrt
game with the strong team from OAC.
The local team is not in good condition
as yet, aud the general sentiment among
the fol lowers of the game is that Cor
vallis is much the stionger. The prac
tice is handicapped by a small gymna
sium, and although there ars some fine
individual players on the Oregon team,
they lack the team work that tbe Cor
vallis players always have. Following
this game Manager Clifford says that the
remainder of his schedule will be, so far
as he knows at the present time, a return
game with Corvallis, games with the
-Willamette University, if the faculty
there will allow the dates, and games
with Washington State College,' if that
team takes its proposed trip into Ore
gon. Eugene Guard.
