esting. Throughout the first half the
score was nearly equal at all times
although the evident superiority oi
the Oregons over their opponents
showed in their every play. In spite
of the hopes Of the Dallas supporters
the half closed with the score 8 to 8,
one point in favor of the Multnomah
five.
From that time, however, the club
men were beaten at every point. The
speed Of the play became terrific in
the last half, many Of the passes being
made 80 rapidly that the eye could
scarcely follow the ball. Fenton and
Reed at forward played like wizards,
while the work of the two guards, Nor
ton and @. Shaw, was probably the
prettiest ever seen on the home court.
No ball seemed to go too high or too
low for them to get, and the clubmen
were able to score only a single goal
during the entire half, 80 close was
the guarding.
Ned Shaw starred in the goal throw
ing during the second half tossing six
baskets over Morris his big opponent,

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
Routine Business Transacted and
Judges and Clerks of Election
Appointed.

A large amount OF routine business
was transacted by the city council
last night, dealing mostly with street
improvement. A petition by a num-
Der Of the business men Of Dallas was
filed, requesting that the macadam to
be laid this summer be placed on the
principal streets on which people enter
the city from the rural districts, and
action will probably be taken on the
matter at the next council nesting.
A petition was also filed ny the
property owners on Levens street ask
ing that the laying Of macadam on
that street between Clay and Wash
ington be deferred, aud after con-
sideration, the request was granted.
The proposed ordinance to regulate
uear-beer and pool parlors was laid
over until the Be1t regular meeting.

OREGONS HAVE RETURNED
Complete 10000 Mile Journey Having Won SO Games
Out of So Played-Hold Coast Championship

After journey of over 10000 miles,
the Oregons' basketball team arrived
in its home city Friday night. On the
preceding evening the redoubtable
aggregation had added to its record a
victory over Multnomah Athletic Club
in Portland by score Of 81 to 10.
Back of them lay two weeks clear
record of victory in Oregon and Cali
fornia, and record of success
unequalled, through 90 other states, so
there were no regrets to mar their
welcome when they stepped off the
train-"home again"
A dense throng banked the street
about the depot, crowding out to the
track on which the Portland train
pulled into the city. On the train
itself was another throng-friends of
the team, who unwilling to walt for its
arrival, had gone down on the after
noon train. met the boys and returned
with them.
In these two crowds the basketball
veterans were engulfed as rapidly as
they stepped from the cars. In cele-
bration of the event Of their arrival, a

the train appeared, cast a brilliant
light over the surging mass Of people,
and the whistles Of the sawmills and
factories We'd with each other in
apparent efforts to drown out the
band, which was playing in the edge
of the crowd.
All Of that evening and all OF the
following day, the newly returned
Oregons and their coming game
against Multnomah Athletic Club
were practically the sole topics for
conversation. In the evening the
streets seemed utterly deserted, the
people being all drawn away to the
gymnasium to watch the game which
was to mark the close of the long tour.
Monmouth, Independence, Falls City
and many other cities outside of Polk
county were represented in the crowd.
And indeed the game merited the
throng Of spectators who attended it.

fouls on either side and kept the ball
in play every minute, making the
game swift and thoroughly inter-
