AGREE WITH THE OREGONS
People of Detroit Sympathize With
Dallas Boys In Controversy
Over Officials.

In letter from Buffalo, Alva Nor
ton, the crack guard of the Oregons,
sends the particulars of the Detroit
embroglio in clipping from the
Detroit News, portion of which is
reprinted for the benefit of basketball
fans who have been anXiously await
ing the particulars Of the affair. 1t is
a source for self congratulation on
the part of the Oregon men, that they
were upheld in their stand by the citi-
zens of Detroit.
''The Oregon team had a contract
with the locals in which nothing what
ever was said concerning the officials
for the game. 1t was where Jake
Mazer blundered. Mazer is one Of the
best sportsmen the city boasts of, or
ever has, but last night he made the
mistake of not meeting the visiting
Oregon team under the rules and con-
ditions of the contract. After build
ing up the great indoor game in
Detroit, he dealt it one of the hardest
of blows, as far as its drawing power
toward the general public are con-
cerned.
"The contract for the game, signed
by both parties, called for the contest
to be played according to the official
rules in Spaulding's basketball guide.
These rules expressly state that the
visiting team shall have the right to
name one official, il the home team is
notified four days in advance. Ore
gon notified the locals and Mazer ad-
mts that he received the notification.
The visitors determinedly held out
for this point and the crowd for the
most part backed them up. The Ore
gon manager had named as his man,
Teats, who in all of their 26 games,
has acted as their official, and they
saw no reason why he should not act
against D. A. @. Mazer considered
this man as the coach of the visitors
and refused to consent to him.
"Oregon then offered to play with
two Ann Arbor men as officials but
Mazer refused since he knew neither
of the men suggested.
"Mazer took the floor and stated his
side of the case aud the Oregon man
ager did likewise. The crowd at first
was neutral, only wanting the game
to be played. 1t was not long, how
ever, before they took sides with the
visitors. This occurred when Mazer
refused to allow the visitors to have
their official as one Of two.
"The crowd at first took the delay
and argument good naturedIy, but as
it advanced and it learned the details

Annual Inspection February 5.

Major Edward F. McGlachlin, Of
the regular army, will be up from
Vancouver, Friday evening, February
s, and conduct the Annual Inspection
of Company H, 4th Infantry, Of the
Oregon National Guards. This will
be the first Annual Inspection to which
the new company has been subjected
and is regarded as one of the most
important events of the year. The
young men have worked hard to bring
their company up to the best standard
possible and will make a good show
ing at the Inspection. The various
companies are ranked according to
the number of credits awarded them
at the Annual Inspection, for efficiency
in drill, attendance and other points.
The largest number Of credits is given
on the attendance, which makes it
essential for every man in the COM
pany to be present unless prevented
by illness or some equally important
reason. The citizens of Dallas are
cordially invited to be present at the
Inspection and see how the company
has developed during the six months
time it has been organized.
