Saturday Evening, February 21 jj.,. Page Six THE EUGENE GUARD THRILL IS BIGGEST THING OF ALL IN ATHLETICS Fans Keep Interested When They Are Kept On Edge Ten Big Baskethall Games Good Illustrations cf Case Yesterday was a glorious day for the Orison Agricultural college. Her basketball team, defeated on the Cor vallis floor, came back and won from the University of Oregon quintet by a score of .'U to IMi lust night. The rooks, beaten at ('orvuliis by tin Oregon frosh. turned the tables hero In the afternoon, and made it another Aggie victory, 34 to 21. The varsity game, starting bad and ending the name way for Oregon, was n h full of thrills as a forest is of trees. Twice, in the desperate last half, the sroro was within one point of being tied, once when it stood '2't to L'l oud the other time when it was il!l to 28. The Aggies, however, managed to cling to the lead they had taken at the start of the game, and In a lout-minute rally rolled in the points that tucked the contest away. Oregon went to sleep while the Ag gies romped in the first few minutes, and when the awakening came the penre stood 20 to G, at the end of the half. The last half was as torrid a battle as basketball fons could ever wish, and the scoro never varied more than five points in difference between the two teams. Little ''Swede' Westergren, speedy Oregon guard, and Brown, renter for O. A. were tied for high point honors, with 12 markers apiece. The lineups: Oregon (,,'10) 3J) O. A.

The Aggie rooks showed derided improvement over their art ions when the frosh beat them at CorvalliH, and in the gome yesterday afternoon clearly earned their 84 to 20 victory over the Kugene habes. Hurr, Aggie rook renter, stuck to his habit of looping tiie pellet through the hoop, and garnered 1H points for his team.
