N, S 0 6 000 By losing the game to Multnomah last Saturday night, the Dallas Col lege basketball team dropped to second place. The boys are not discouraged by their defeat, but admit that they will have to play a gilt-edged article of ball from this time on in order to stand a show for the pennant. The game with the Y. M. C. A. All Stars in Portland on Friday evening was somewhat rough, but rather one sided, and ended with a score of 23 to 10 in favor of Dallas. On the following night, however, the collegians were up against it at the Multnomah Club. Both sides played fast ball, but could not score rrom tne field, and the first half closed with a score of 5 to 3 in favor of Multnomah. Soon after tho beginning of the last half, Dallas succeeded In tying their opponents, and the score stood 8 to 8 until the last three minutes of the game. The clubmen tlien threw a foul and followed it by a rush that rairly swept the Dallas boys off their feet. Two field eoals were thrown in less than two minutes, and Multno- had won by a score of 13 to 8. The game was clean and the best of feeling prevailed. After the game, the clubmen took the two teams to a splendid banquet at the Oregon grill. WAS PIONEER OF 1845 Jonathan Williams Passes Away at His Home in Portland, Aged 80 Years.
