DALLAS DEFEATS CORVALLIS
College Basketball Team Wins Cfiam
pionship of Southern Division
of State League.
The championship of Dallas College
in the South Division of the Oregon
Basketball League was indisputably
established Friday night, when the
husky supporters of the "Winged D
defeated the O. A. C. team, the only
possible rival in the field, by the decis
ive score of 34 to 11 In a speedy game
played upon the opponents' own court.
Never before was the loyalty of the
people of Dallas for their basketball
team more conclusively shown than
on last Friday afternoon, when a
throng of 130 persons crowded on the
special train that had been chartered,
accompanied the home five to Corval
lis, and heartily supported them
throughout the exciting five hours'
stay in that city. Several friends were
picked up at Monmouth and Indepen
dence, and yet others were found to be
already in Corvallis when the big Da!
las delegation arrived in that city, so
that the entire number of the support
era of Dallas basketball prestige
amounted to 200 persons at the least.
Spectators began to swarm into the
O. A. C. armory as early as 7 o'clock,
and by the time the game was called,
at 8:45, every seat was filled and
standing room was at a premium, and
the gallerys fairly creaked under the
weight of the stamping, shouting
mass of humanity that crowded them
to overflowing.
Dallas started the game with a rush
and gained a good lead within the first
five minutes of the play, adding to it
steadily point by point up to the very
last minute of the game. They were
in perfect form, and the value of their
hard and careful training during the
previous two weeks showed in the
swift and unerring precision of their
passing and guarding. During the
game a spectator was heard to say "No
matter where the ball goes, there seems
to be always a red man in front of it"
and these few words sum up briefly
the whole history of that exciting con
test.
Corvallis played hard and well dur
ingthe first half, but shortly after the
beginning of the second half the whole
team seemed literally to go to pieces,
Their team work went to the winds,
and their play resolved itself into a
series of reckless and sensational trys
for goals. Individually, each member
of the Corvallis aggregation played a
beautiful game, but in their demoral
ized condition they were powerless to
stand against the remorseless and sys
tematic assault of the Dallas veterans
Again and again the ball was caught
and thrown the entire length of the
court by one of the opposing guards,
only to come swiftly and surely zig
zagging back to land at last in the
Dallas goal.
When the time keepers' whistle
announced the close of the contest,
there was dead silence in the southern
and western galleries, but the northern
side of the big hall the part occupied
by the Dallas delegation broke into
tumultuous sound, and roar upon roar
exultantly proclaimed the victory for
the team from Dallas.
The only regret felt by the Dallas
"rooters" was for the loss of the big
pennant the scarred and tattered bat
tle flag that they had carried annually
to Corvallis during four years. Just
before the train pulled out of Corval
lis, the pennant was in some way
secured by the crowd that surrounded
the depot. Dallas rallied eagerly to
the rescue, and in the exciting combat
for its possession, the flag was fairly
torn to shreds. Some of these frag
ments are now in possession of Dallas
people and some are left in Corvallis,
so that it would be difficult to decide
which city can claim the honors of
possession.
The return trip to Dallas passed
quickly and merrily and .the train
pulled into this city in the early hours
of the morning, crowded with weary
and" heavy-eyed "rooters," all tired
out but still ready to waken the sleep
ing town with their hoarse but whole
hearted shouts of victory.
Only three games now stand between
the Dallas team and the championship
of Oregon, and every effort will be
made by the home team to keep its
chain of victories absolutely unbroken
throughout the present season.
The line-up Friday night was as
follows :
Dallas O. A. C.
Fenton F Rooper
Craven F Moore
Shaw C Foster
Savery Q Horton
C. Shaw O Rooper
Livingston, of M. A. A. Creferee.

Abel Uglow.
DIES OF PARALYSIS
Mrs. O. H. Cobb Passes Away After
Long and Painful Illness,
Aged 63 Years.
Sabina T. Cobb, the wife of O. H.
Cobb and an old and respected resident
of Dallas, died Sunday night, aged 63
years, after a long illness, her death
being caused by paralysis of the
heart.
Mrs. Cobb was a daughter of John
and Sarah McNeil, and was born in
Meggs County, Ohio, September 25,
1844. From Ohio she moved to Sut
ton, Clay County, Nebraska, in 1873,
and was married to O. H. Cobb, April
19, 1877. Mr. and Mrs. Cobb came to
Oregon in 1890 and settled in Dallas,
where they resided until the time of
her death.
She joined the church at the age of
14 years, and was a member of the
Evangelical Church until she came to
Oregon. She then became an earnest
and active member of the Methodist
church, in which she remained until
her death.
She Is survived by a husband and
four children, and a brother and Bis
ter, R. C. McNeil and Mrs. Allan
Towns, both of Monmouth. The
funeral was held at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, and the body was taken to
the Odd Fellows cemetery for burial.
Mrs. Cobb was a woman well known
and loved among the people of Dallas
and vicinity, and all will feel regret
at her departure, and deep sympathy
with the bereaved husband and rela
tives. "

From School to Work.
The Oregon State Normal opened
last Monday with an encouraging out
look for the coming semester. The
registration has been increased by a
large number of new students and
more are expected by the end of the
week. Those just graduated from the
school have gone directly into the
field as teachers. Miss Grace White
house is located at Independence, Miss
Mabel Muldrich has gone to Grant
County, Adrian Owen to Falls City,
Miss Dora Murdook to LaGrande
Miss Mae Tracer to Elkins, Miss Anna
Godbersen to Mosier, Miss Esther
Fisher to lone, while Chester Day will
teach in Polk County.
Will Engage in Dairying.
A. R. Morgan will get full possession
of the Gilbert & Patterson farm near
Lincoln, Polk county, Oregon, on
April 1, having purchased it last fall.
This fine farm of 367 acres has been
the home of the Gilbert & Patterson
herd of Hereford cattle but Mr. Mor
gan is disposing of them and will turn
his attention to dairying, believing
that more money can be made with the
dairy cow than with beef cattle in the
Willamette valley. He will start Jn
with a grade Jersey herd and perhaps
a few registered ones, but Intends
eventually to have an all-registered
herd. Pacific Homestead.
"Old Arkansaw," played at the
Woodman Hall last night, was well
attended and won from all who were
present the hearty appreciation it
deserved. The play is frankly melo
dramatic, with all the attendant feat
urea of train robbery, holdups, murder
and much blazing of blank cartridges,
but it was finely staged despite the
cramped space afforded in the Wood
man Hall, and each member of the
cast proved to be an actor of no mean
ability. They infused into the char
acters and into the play a delightful
element of naturalness that con
strained one to forgive and forget the
ear splitting bang of the pistol shote,
and the acrid cloud of powder smoke
that oozed out over the footlights.
At the meeting of the stockholders
in the Dallas Cannery Company, held
at the Court House yesterday after
noon, the following directors were
chosen : G W. Myer. president; J. B,
Nunn, vice-president; H. G. Campbell,
secretary and treasurer; Henry Voth,
W. M. Elliott, Dee Dunn and David
Peters. Several locations for the new
cannery building have been offered by
property owners of this city, and work
will be commenced as soon as a suit
able site has been determined upon.
The sermon delivered at the Chris
tian Church, Sunday afternoon, by the
Rev. J. P. Conder, was well attended
and highly appreciated. Mr. Conder
will continue his series of revival ser
vices during the present week.
