COLLEGE HAS NEW "GYM"
Business Men Buy Building and
Lease It to Students for
Five Years.

Oregon's champion basketball
team will no longer be hampered
in their practice and games by a
small and crowded gymnasium.
Fifteen citizens of Dallas have pur-
chased the old wooden mill building
and grounds adjoining the Dallas
College campus, and have leased
the two upper stories to the college
athletic association for a period of
five years, with the option of the
school buying the entire property
at any time during the term of
lease. This building is a large,
well-built structure, three stories
high, with each floor 110x70 feet.
Carpenters are now at work on
the second floor, making regula-
tion-sized basketball court, and
are cutting out the third floor, So
as to make gallery for the court.
The remainder of the two upper
floors will be fitted up as a gym
nasium, and when completed it
will be one of the best in the state.
The Dallas College basket-ba |
players are the present champions
of Oregon, if not the Pacific Coast,
as the recent games lost to Tacoma
and Seattle were played on courts
containing distractions and were
not regulation in size. With the
