Cheniawa won a splendid victory over her old rival, Pacific Univer­
sity, on Nov. 9th. The Varsity boys always have a good, strong, fast
team, and they play ball from start to finish. A glance over the past
four years will show the real strength of the two teams.
In 1909 we defeated them 20 to 4 on their own field. In 1910 we
played a scoreless game. In 1911 Pacific sent us home with a 33 to 0
defeat.
*1 his year Chemawa was well trained; every man was at his best and
was led on the field by Capt. Downie, with orders from Coach Sanders
and Manager Smith to play the visitors off their feet. Capt Downie
and his men were determined to carry out this advice and they galloped

The game was a well-earned victory for the home team. Chemawa
excelled in every department of the game. The plavs were well di­
rected; the punting of Walker was better than at any' time during the
season. The team played like a machine, every man k.iew his place
and was m every play. The local back field was the undoing of ?he
C llegians. Capt. Downie at quarter was a tower of strength to the
half, and Eader at
