The Willamette university basket

last night when the Idaho squad was
taken down the line to the tune Of %
to 81. Willamette took the lead from
the start and was never headed though
the invaders approached within one
point in the first half. Irwin started
the scoring by dropping a free throw
through the hoop and Flegel netter a
basket a moment later. The first half
stood II to 13 for Willamette.
The Idaho men took about three
shots at the basket to Willamette's one

unable to register. On the floor the
visitors excelled in teamwork but tne
W. U. team showed the greater speed
and Shisler, Jewett and Irwin wriggled
about and dropped the ball through the
ring from all angles. Willamette al

Dallas, Or, Feb. l2.-In one of the
fastest games of basketball ever wit
messed on the local floor the University
of Idaho team went down to defeat at
the hands of the Dallas team by a
score of 25 to 1J. The game was an
exciting one from start to finish but
at no time was Dallas in danger of
being defeated. Pebo Shaw, the star
center of the famous Dallas team which
toured the East several years ago,
played with the team against Idaho
and "came back" with several baskets
thrown from tight places to his credit.
Tonight the locals play the Whitman

the one last evening can be expected as
the college quintet have been playing
good ball this season.

THE INFINITE LESSON.

We are all Of us learning our lessons
Still children at school, in way,
With spirit for toll and adventure
And hunger and yearning for play
And some Of us dream Of our triumphs
And some Of US think Of our care,
And some Of us struggle in patience,
And some Of us struggle in prayer;
But the truth Of it all is yhe lesson
Life teaches to those in the light
That only the right shall triumph,
And there's nothing worth while but
the right.

And the tracks are lonely tonight.

And left it standing there,
On the long iron track that leads

To the roundhouse under the chair.
A laughing boy, a mothers Joy,
Has answered his Masters call.
