N .'s first basketball team played a strong brand of ball throughout the season. From the small squad of experienced players in school Coach Quinn developed a team that could play with the best in college competition. This is shown by the scores, we lost to the best by small margins and won from others by large numbers of points. In the pre-season games the Mountaineers defeated strong independent teams by decisive scores, and although we were defeated in several of our college games, E. O. N. put up a determined and dangerous fight to the final whistle. The opening games of the season were with the Red Devils from Helix, a team which had several times won the independent championship of Eastern Oregon. Regardless of the fact that the Helix team was composed of ex-college stars, the Mountaineers proved to be the stronger team. The invasion of the Willamette Valley by the Blue and Gold team proved very successful. Our team defeated Albany College and played Monmouth and Columbia University to close scores. This was a splendid record fora road trip. Willamette University, College of Idaho, Cheney Normal, and Oregon State Normal were played on the home field. These encounters were fast and interesting.
