Six hundred people shouted them
selves hoarse when Dullas' peerless
basket-ball team threw the first goal
in the new gymnasium Friday eve
rung. The largest crowd ever
assembled to witness a basket-ball
game iu tliia city oiw the Oregon
Agricultural College boys go down to
defeat In a contest that was stubbornly
fought from start to finish, and in
which Swan, the star guard of the
college team, and one of the most
skillful players on the Pacific Coast,
was held down to one basket by Ford
of the Dallas team. The final score
was 13 to 4 in favor of Dallas. The
Corvallis boys are clever players, and
made a host of friends here by their
gentlemanly conduct throughout the
game. At the close of the contest the
visitors were tendered a reception and
banquet at the dormitory.
The Corvallis correspondent of the
Evening Telegram says : "The O. A. C,
basket-ball team was defeated by the
Dallas champions at Dallas Friday
evening by a score of 13! to 4. When
asked how it happened .the boys said
it was because the Dallas team played
better ball, and they say that Dallas
will win again this year the North
west championship."
good game at rickreall.
But talk about basket-ball 1 The
Dallas-Corvallis game may have been
more scientific, but it wasn't in it with
the game at Rickreall, Saturday eve
ning, viewed from a standpoint of fun
and excitement. The Dallas Rock-
crushers and Rickreall Jawbreakers,
as "Pat" McArthur styles them, put
up an article of basket-ball that has
the college games faded for speed and
'strenuosity." The score? Well, that
doesn't matter. The factof the business
is, there wasn't any score. A scorer
was selected by the teams, but that
official became so intensely interested
in the game that he forgot to keep
track of the points made, and at the
close of the game he didn't know ex
actly what the score was. He
thinks it was 11 to 11, and that is the
opinion of most of the spectators. The
players were satisfied to let it go at
that, consequently these figures will
have to stand. The game was as
rough as football, but the best of feel
ing prevailed among the players at
all times.
MULTNOMAH GAME SATURDAY NIGHT.
The Dallas College team and the
Multnomah Athletic Club will play in
the new gymnasium tomorrow night.
A fast game is promised, and a crowd
ed house is assured. Reserved seats
are now on sale at Belt & Cherring
ton's drug store. A preliminary game
will be played by the Rockcrushers
and Jawbreakers.
