Will Play Corvallis Champions.
The hitherto undefeated skating
basketball team from Corvallis will
meet the local aggregation on the
floor of the . Colosseum rink Saturday
night, and the contest will probably be
the hardest one of Its kind ever wit
nessed in Dallas. Dallas defeated
Eugene last week by a score of 27 to 4
and Corvallis defeated the same team
by a score pf 30 to 5. One may
naturally expect then, to see the two
victorious teams almost equally
matched, and they will doubtless put
up an excellent exhibition of skillful
skating and fast team work.
Program at Colosseum Rink.
Skating every afternoon and evening
at the Colosseum rink. Good music
Admission, skaters, 25 cents. Thurs
day evening's session will be reserved
for the skating clubs.
