MAKES PLUCKY FIGHT
Los Angeles Finds Dallas College
Worthy Opponent Oregons Win
Two More Games.
The score of 27 to 17 mado by the
Los Angeles basketball team when it
defeated the Dallas College -aggregation
Wednesday night gives no idea,
except to those who witnessed the oon
test, of how close and exciting it really
was.
In velw of the fact that the Los
Angeles team has been ranking itself
in championship class, the game is,
in reality, a virtual victory for the
Dallas aggregation, some of the
members of the visiting five even
going so far, in their disgust at hav
ing allowed what they referred to as a
"kid team" defeat them, as to admit
that they regarded it almost as a
defeat.
When the game was arranged, tbe
Dallas team, crippled as it was by the
loss of its three strongest men, had no
hope of winning, but went into the
play with the intention of doing every
thing possible to hold the score down
to a small figure.
Although outmatched by the vis
itors in height, weight and individual
strength, they went into tbe game like
a whirlwind and to the utter surprise
of themselves, the spectators and, most
of all, their opponents, played large
and fancy circles around the Los
Angeles men.
At the end of the first half tbe score
stood 11 to 9 in favor of Dallas. In
the beginning of tbe second, Ridge
way at forward raised It to 13. Los
Angeles soon scored from the field
and then with a sensational shot from
the center of the field, tied tbe score on
13. Here the score stood until the half
began to draw to a close, when the
Los Angeles five at last swung into
the lead and gradually hammered the
score up to 27. The Dallas team
played desperately and brilliantly to
avert the inevitable, but tbe superior
endurance of its opponents hardened
by steady playing night after night,
was too much for them.
By the end of the half they were
completely exhausted, unmistakably
defeated, as the score was concerned,
but bad the satisfaction of knowing
that they bad put up one of the stlff-
est, pluckiest, and most scientific
fights in tbe face of enormous odds,
that had ever been witnessed on the
local basketball court.
The Oregons, the representatives of
the basketball playing prowess of
Dallas in the East, have added two
more victories to their list since Mon
day, winning from Lincoln, Nebraska,
by a score of 40 to 12, Tuesday night,
and from Peru, Nebraska, Wednes
day night by a score of 31 to 11.
The dispatch from the Lincoln
game was signed by B. A. VanOrsdel,
formerly a student of Dallas College,
and at one time manager of the bas
ketball team. Tbe Oregons left Peru
yesterday for Cheyenne. They are
now well started on their return trip
and it will be a matter of but a few
weeks until tney will be on the Pacific
Coast and on familiar ground again.
Bob Harmon, manager of tbe newly
organized baseball team for Dallas,
reports that tbe work Is meeting with
excellent success thus far. Ground
was broken, preparatory to grading
and levelling tbe field, Tuesday, and
nearly all the posts for the fonce,
which with the grandstand will cost
about $180, have been set 6000 feet
of lumber from the Spaulding Log
ging Company were on the grounds
when work commenced Tuesday and
10,000 feet more from the Willamette
Valley Lumber Company 'were de
livered yesterday. $325 has been
raised, $250 from sale of spaces on
the fence and $76 by private subscrip
tion. At least $75 more will be needed,
Mr. Harmon says.
A pleasant surprise party was given
In honor of the sixteenth birthday of
Miss Golds Plaster at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Eugene Smith, Saturday
evening. Various games were played
and a delicious luncheon served.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs.
Eugene Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh
Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Plaster,

Electricity for Lighting
BBBSBSHHBHBWBliBHBBa
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To yon, 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 cloctrio light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than eleotrio light, but does It save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and reoreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and increases household work. You
could probably nave 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.
