WIN TWO MORE GAMES
Malvern and Red Oaks Far OutclasseC
By The Oregon Basket
ball Team.

In the basketball games played by
the Oregons, Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, against Malvern and Red
Oaks, Iowa, the western aggregation
was matched against greatly inferior
teams, easily defeating both Of them
by scores of 40 to and SO to IL respec-
lively.
In the Malvern game Ned Shaw, the
big center of the Oregons, became
known to fame under the cognomen
that has been endearingly applied to
him by local sportsmen ever since he
first begun to play basketball, the
press dispatches to the Oregonian
declaring that 'Pebo' was the star
for the Oregons, making 10 field bas-
kets."
The Oregons are now swinging back
on the return half of their tour, hav-
ing played 80 games, winning "a and
losing only s. They hope to arrange
for straight series up from Cali
fornia to Portland, and an effort will
be made to arrange for games with
the Multnomah Athletic Club both in
Portland and on the home floor.
After leaving Buffalo, the Dallas
boys met with very rough and dis
courteous treatment at a number Of
places, Alliance, Ohio especially, where
they were fairly mobbed by crowd of
rowdy spectators after the close of the
game. The treatment accorded them
has been in the greater part very good
however, the worst trouble occurring
usually in cities where the games were
close. Alvie Morton said in letter to
one Of his friends: "Everytime we
win from a team that has never before
been defeated on its own floor, we have
trouble. When we get back home we
will know how TO sympathize with
travelling teams"
A letter from B. A. Teats, the team
manager says that the second date
with Shenandoah, was set for Thurs
day instead of Tuesday as had been
reported. Tonight the schedule is
indefinite and Saturday night the Ore
gons will line up against the Haskell
Indian Institute.

The governor refers to the boards as

ers.N Their election, without party
nomination, to hold system of party
nominations, would be a means of po-
litical disruption.
