DALLAS TASTES DEFEAT
Corvallis Defeats Local Skaters in
Whirlwind Game of Basketball
at Colosseum Rink.

The Dallas skating team suffered
its first defeat Saturday night at the
hands OF the team from Corvallis in
the hardest game of basketball that
has been played In this city during
the present season. At the close of the
last half, the score stood IS to 1S, and
the two teams played for fully five
minutes before Corvallis threw the
deciding goal that broke the tie and
fixed the score at IS to 20 in their favor.
The two teams were SO evenly
matched that it looked like anybody's
game throughout the entire 40 min
utes of play, the score seesawing back
and forth so that neither side was
more than three points in the lead at
any time. When time was called and
it was discovered that the two teams
were tied, the crowd went wild. During
the following five minutes of play the
hall was in an uproar with the implor-
ing voices Of the spectators, shouting
encouragement to the boys on the
floor, who toiled doggedly in one Of
the fastest and most bitterly contested
five minutes Of play that has ever been
witnessed in Dallas. An instant of
relaxing in the terrific speed OF the
game, and Sutherland, the crack
forward Of Corvallis, snapped up the
ball in the lightning throw that finally
decided the score in favor OF his
aggregation.
Foster, the giant center, was the
mainstay Of the visiting team, and on
him they relied for the greater part of
their goal throwing. His great height
made it practically impossible to guard
him, and his sureness in basket throw
ing made him easily the most import
ant force on the team. Brown led in
the goal throwing for Dallas, with
seven baskets to his credit, and Elder
scored one from the field and two from
the foul line. The return game will
be played in Corvallis, Saturday, Feb
ruary %.
The line up last Saturday night was

merry Company met at the Court House,
Saturday afternoon, and a permanent
organization was effected. Articles Of
Incorporation have been filed, and a
stockholders meeting will be held

$4,000 before the date set for the next
meeting Interest in the cannery
project is increasing continually, and
those who have been most active in
conducting the movement now profess
perfect confidence in its complete and
early success.

COLLEGE BOYS ENTERTAIN
DELIGHTFUL Reception Given to Young
Women of UtOpian Society
Friday Evening.

The Philadelphian Literary Society,
Of Dallas College, gave reception at
the college chapel last Friday evening,
in compliment to the young women Of
the Utopian Society, the rival literary
oroanization from the student body.
Tbe Young men entered into the
nrenarations for the reception with an
utter disregard for the labor or expense
involved, and it was admitted by all
who we're present that they had sue
ceeded in arranging the most elaborate
and enjoyable entertainment Of that
nature that has been given during
the present college year.
Upon their arrival, the young people
were assembled in DR.. Mock's recita
tion room across the hall from the
chapel, and when all the invited
guests were at last present, the young
ladies were admitted one by one into
the reception hall, where they were
initiated with short ceremony into
honorary membership in the Phila-
delphian Literary Society.
This preliminary ceremony being
completed, Verne Launer, the only
charter member Of the young mems
society now attending the college, took
charge Of the entertainment, and kept
the guests employed in numerous
merry games until well past 10 o'clock.
At this time the Philadelphia
orchestra, an aggregation of French
harps and combs, with an ocarina, a
tin can fiddle, and galvanized tub
for trap drum, entertained the audi
ence with few selections especially
rehearsed for the occasion. carrying
their performance through with faces
as sober as judges, while those in the
audience held their sides with laugh
ing at the wild Chinese melodies.
After the orchestra had played its
last doleful note, the ladies were
instructed to choose partners, and d
delicious luncheon was served. Dur
ing the evening, Will Montgomery
presided at the punch bowl in a
daintily decorated booth on the ros-
trum, dealing out orange punch with
a lavish hand, the embodiment Of that
open handed and joyous hospitality
that has made the Philadelphia soci-
ETY. famous since the time Of it's found
ing four years ago.

MAUI MATTERS

Last Saturday afternoon a large
crowd of baseball fans from all over
Central Maui witnessed a lively game
of baseball between the Kahului and
Waikiki mines, says the Maui News.
After nine innings of hard hitting
and running. the Kahului aggregation
came out victorious to the tune of 8
to g.
H. Meyer started in the box for the
Wailukus but was hit so hard that ne
had to be replaced by Novel;, who held
down the victors to two runs.
For the Kahuluis Ayau began the
twirling of the sphere but only lasted
two innings, when he was substituted
by W. Espind a the crack Riverside
League pitcher.
In the ninth inning the score stood
Z to in favor of the Kahuluis and
each team scored two runs in that
inning increasing the score to to 3.
This afternoons game will be played
between the Kahului and Paia teams
and will start on time. These two
teams are considered the best in the
league and will no doubt make a good
match. A large crowd is expected.

Apart from the horse-racing aspect
there is great interest in the duel OF

Ferreira, by his success at Hilo, won

Willis is a coast importation and
