WIN TWO MORE GAMES
Malvern and Red Oaks Far Outclassed
By The Oregon Basket
ball Team.
In the basketball games played by
theOregons, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, against Malvern and Red
Oaks, Iowa, the western aggregation
was matched against greatly Inferior
teams, easily defeating both of them
by scores of 40 to 9 and 50 to 11 respec
tively. In the Malvern game Ned Shaw, the
big center of the Oregons, became
known to fame under the cognomen
that has been endearingly applied to
him by local sportsmen ever since he
first begun to play basketball, the
press dispatches to the Oregonian
declaring that " 'Pebo' was the star
for theOregons, making 10 field bas
kets." TheOregons are now swinging back
on the return half of their tour, hav
ing played 39 games, winning 31 and
losing only 5. They hope to arrange
for a straight series up from Cali
fornia to Portland, and an effort will
be made to arrange for games with
the Multnomah Athletic Club both in
Portland and on the home floor.
After leaving Buffalo, the Dallas
boys met with very rough and dis
courteous treatment at a number of
places, Alliance,Obioespeclally, where
they were fairly mobbed by a crowd of
rowdy spectators after the close of the
game. The treatment accorded them
has been in the greater part very good
however, the worst trouble occurring
usually in cities where the games were
close. Alvie Morton said in a letter to
one of his friends: "Everytime we
win from a team that has never before
been defeated on its own floor, we have
trouble. When we get back home we
will know how to sympathize with
traveling teams."
A letter from B. A. Teats, the team
manager says that the second date
with Shenandoah, was set for Thurs
day Instead of Tuesday as had been
reported. Tonight the schedule is
indefinite and Saturday night the Ore
gons will line up against the Haskell
Indian Institute.
"Mystery" Saturday Night.
Regarding the "Mystery" entertain
ment which will be given in this city
Saturday night February 11, a notioe
in the Madison Democrat, of Wiscon
sin, says: "The Kerr-Angoli-Boone
presentation at the opera bouse Thurs
day night, made good before an aud
ience that filled the structure, an aud
ience fairly representative of the high
est menitality and culture of the city.
Professor Angell, psychologist, was
the star attraction, of course, and not
once did he fail in any of his attempted
demonstrations. Blindfolded, he read
ily found every article carefully
secreted by the committee named from
the audience, and as a final test suc
cessfully performed the demonstration
made famous by Bishop, one of this
country's greatest psychologists that
of finding in a book the page and
words agreed upon by the committee,
and while still blindfolded wrote on a
blackboard the words thought of by
the committee but never once uttered
aloud. Throughout the evening, Pro
fessor Angell kept the audience thor
oughly mystified and marvelling at
bis powers. Before ending the per
formance, Professor Angell explained
his method of working, Bhowed the
simplicity of it, and sought to con
vince the audience that most of the
mysticism, spiritualistlo stunts,
psychic and medlumlstlo seances and
demonstrations are as easily explain
able." Basketball Tonight.
The Dallas College basket ball team
will meet the Newberg aggregation
for the second time In the present
League season, In the college gym
nasium tonight. Dallas was defeated
by only one point on the Newberg floor
and aa the team is In much better
condition now than It was at that
time, the boys are hoping to recover
some of the ground tbey bave lost In
the last few games. A lively prelim
inary to begin at T :10 o'clock has been
scheduled between the Dallas Public
school and the third team of Dallas
College.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high.
It Is economical because It can be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the elootric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than electric light, but does it save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You
could probRbly save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but it wouldn't be economy. It is not so much what you save, but
how you save that counts.
