but the cause is not to be ascribed to
any hostility on the major part Of the

MAKE GOOD BEGINNING
"The Oregons'' Easily Defeat Basket
ball Teams of Vancouver, Win
lock and Seattle.

A telegram received late Wednes-
day night briefly announced the third
victory of The Oregons in the follow
ing words :"The Oregons, "a; Seattle,
16; boys feeling fine."
The champion basketball team sent
out by Dallas to tour the East has
certainly begun its trip under good
auspices, winning three games in
rapid succession from three of the
representative teams of Washington,
by astonishingly large scores.
Vancouver, played on Monday, the
first night out, was defeated with
ease by score of 43 to 6.
Fenton, the big forward, led in the
goal throwing, scoring 18 points from
the field. Edward Shaw scored 10,
Morton, 4, Reed, 6 with one from the
foul line, and Savery, 2. Savery
played only during the last six min
utes Of the game taking the place of
Reed, who was slightly injured and
was obliged to retire from the game.
Reeds injury however did not pre-
vent him from playing on the follow
ing evening in the game against Win
lock, in which he repeated his goal
throwing record Of the previons even
ing scoring from the field. He also
showed up in wonderful form on goal
throwing, scoring 8 out Of a possible
13 points. Shaw, at center, scored 8
from the field, Fenton 6, Savery 4, and
Morton 2, making total score of 81 to
their opponents 4. Winlo2k was un-
able to make single score from the
field.
Winlock claims the championship
Of southwestern Washington, having
won 13 games out Of IA last season,
the one game being lost to the Mus
catine five that toured the west last
year.
The score in the Seattle game, "a to
16, indicates a much harder game
than those Of the two previous nights.
Seattle is claimed to have the strongest
team in the state, and if that be true,
the sturdy Oregon boys have little to
fear in the games in Rosslyn, Ellens-
burg and Spokane.
