April 8-Dallas, 46 ; Snohomish 19 ; piayea at Dallas. The defeat of the basketball team from Snohomish, Washington, by the decisive score of 46 to 12, in a game played on the local floor Wednesday night, removes from the field the last claimant for the honors of the Pacific Coast championship, and leaves the nve supporters of the "Winged D" In a classentirely by themselves. It is not surprising then, that the home team should begin to look about ror broader fields of conquest, and, in view of the hearty support that has been given by the citizens of Dallas during the past, it is not strange that ine Dusiness men of the city should respond promptly and liberally to the appeal for funds to back their champion team in a tour of the eastern states. H. L. Fenton, who has been chosen as business advisor of the team, circu lated a petition Wednesday afternoon among the business men of Dallas and secured pledges for $1,750 within a few hours. This sum will be increased to $2,000, and next season, the team that was so signally and uniformly victor ious during the winter just passed, will start for the East, representing the basketball prestige of Dallas and of Oregon against the United States. Of the game Wednesday night there is little to be said. Dallasdearly out classed its opponents in every respect, and baskets were thrown at will. The Dallas five played easily during the entire game, doing but little sensa tional team work, and relying more upon sheer weight and strength to break down the guard of the Sno homish players. Ned Shaw led In scoring, throwing nine field baskets. Craven threw seven and Fenton six from the field and two from the foul line. Although they knew that their defeat was inevitable after the first three minutes of play, the Snohomish men played gamely throughout the entire contest, never once lowering their bands, and winning the admiration and respect of everyone in the audi ence by theirgritty and sportsmanlike conduct. In the intermission between the first and second half. Manaser Eersev stepped out onto the floor, and announcing that the gate receipts! lacKea oi making up the sum required to pay the expenses of the game, asked the assistance of the "fans" In supplying the deficit. The Dallas rooters, ever loyal to their rep resentative team, responded promptly and in no uncertain manner, and for five minutes the coach and manager of the team were kept busy chasing down the coins that were tossed let the court by those on the sidelines. Although, as a rule, a team stand ing uniformly at the bead of the list is not regarded as a success from financial point of view, the Dallas team never has had, and indeed never oould have, any reason to complain on account of the lack of financial backing from its enthusiastic rooters, and the zealous and substantial sup port given by the citizens of Dallas has been an unfailing source of astonishment to visiting aggrega tions. Dallas has demanded of her team victories, and has been ungrudging in her support ; in return the "Winged D's" have given them the victories that they desired, scoring 619 points during the past season, to their opponents 207, a record almost unpre cedented in the history of basketball on the Pacific Coast.
