MILITARY DANCE A SUCCESS
Large Crowd Attends Thanksgiving
Ball Given By Members of
Company H.

The Thanksgiving ball given by the
members of Company II, Wednesday
night, met with even greater success
than had been anticipated by any Of
the young men in whose hands the
work OF preparation had been placed.
Although it was the regular night
for the business meeting of the Circle.
the ladies kindly consented to hold
their meeting trifle earlier than
usual and the hall was vacated by
them nearly an hour before time for
he dance to commence.
The size of the crowd OF dancers
clearly showed how strong a hold the
militia dances had already taken on
the popular fancy. The proceeds from
the sale of tickets easily paid all ex-
penses Of the dance, and left hand
some margin for the social fund of
the company.
The dancing began at 0 o'clock and
continued until ~ 80 and every min
ute of the time was full OF thorough
enjoyment. The details that go to
make up a perfect ball were all care
fully attended to by the committee in
charge, the floor was in perfect condi-
ton, and Seely's orchestra OF six pieces
furnished a delightful program Of
dance selections.
1t is the purpose OF the company to
give dances regularly during the pres
ent season every two weeks and the
date for the next dance will probably
be set for Saturday, December 70.

ALL AWAIT "THE OREGONS"
Eastern Teams Show Great Interest
In Coming Tour of Dallas
Five.

The tour of ''The Oregons" eastward
is attracting considerable attention in
basketball circles of the states that lie
along their route Of travel, as is shown
by the following flattering mention
from the sporting columns of the
Evening Journal, of Billings, Mon
tana.
"a letter was received Wednesday
by the sporting editor Of the Journal
from the "Oregons'' Of Dallas College,
Dallas, Oregon, who are preparing
their schedule of basketball trip east
ward commencing about the holidays,
asking for a game or games in Bill
ings.
"That their challenge will be accepted
is assured, and it may be that two
games with the touring aggregation
will be arranged, as both the Billings
Blues and the Y. M. @. A. are anxious
to try their luck against the Pacific
Coast champions. The "Oregons"
will be in Montana about the first week
in January, 1909.
"Their record is most excellent
one. In the season of l906-07 they
played eight games at home, losing
only one to the Chicago Crescents, a
touring team from the Windy City, by
a score of 14-18. En- tour the ''Oregons"
won five out of six games, being de-
feated only by the M. A. A. @. team s.
13, which team they had previously
defeated in Dallas, 1918.
I'm the season OF 1907 0S the Ore
gons lost but two games out Of Is,
defeated twice by the touring Mus
catine team-which played ip Bill
ings-by 1922 and 1915 scores. En-
tour the Dallas team won all five
games played, and in the last one
shut out Willamette University by
37-4, the University not securing a
single field goal, the four points being
on foul throws.
"The Oregons are travelling under
the auspices of the LaCreole club of
Dallas, which is financing their
expedition to the Mississippi valley
and return. They will be the first
aggregation in the history of the
game to tour eastward, barring only
the Artic Brotherhood, of Nome City,
Alaska, who made the circuit last sea-
son. The Oregons defeated the
Brotherhood 1929"
