A NEW IDEA In Reference to Oregon's Normal Schools. An Albany man who has been over the entire state in the line of his work has been studying the normal school situation and has evolved the following interesting thing: There is a good deal of dissatis faction with the present arrangement. None of the schools are properly equip ped or situated. The Monmouth build, ings need replacing, Ashland is too far south, Drain is not a proper town and Weston's square building is not a suit able one or the town the best located. According to him there uhould be an intirely new deal, with new buildings of modern structure equipped for the important work, one of which should be located at Albany, the most centrally situated in western Oregon for such a school, and the other at Pendleton, the best located across the mountains for the work. He savs there is consider able of a sentiment being developed for a new deal. DIAMOND The cream of all. Start the New Year right.

At Eugene last night Roseburg de feated the Eugene U. S. 27 to 14. The Regiter says there has been fairer ref ereeing than by theRoseburg man. The Eugene girl's team has been disbanded, hence no game. Tonizht there will be a double header between the boys and girls teams of Roseburg and Albany. With Dooley and Stalnaker in tne game a good showing ought to be made. The Albany high school basket ball team played at the Corvallis rink Thursday night, being defeated by a public school team 20 to 3. The first half ended 3 to 2 in favor of Albany, but in the second half Corvallis more than made up fir it. Humphrey and Banders played forward, onnng e,rmc Pherson and Huston guards.
