About The Chemawa American (Chemawa, Or.) 19??-current | View Entire Issue (May 1, 1913)
THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN 41 In the last game with Willamette, our boys were in poor physical condition; Sanders, Wilcox, Dunbar and Lachance were not at their best. The same applies to the O. A. C. game. The Oregon Aggies have the best team in the state, winning over Oregon 8 to 4, and they won an easy victory from our crippled team. By winning ten straight out of twelve games, Chemawa can well be proud of her team. April 24, the track team, after only ten days’ work on the field, lost to the well seasoned Willamette team, 68 to 54; however the record made by our boys is very good. We won 6 first places, 5 second places, and 9 third places. Eader won shot put, 37-10; J. Service won pole vault, 10-4; Lachance won high jump 5-6; Sanders won discus, 107; Jim won 1-2 mile, time 2-11; Jim won 1 mile, time 5-2. With careful training the track team will make a good record this year and blot out the defeat of last vear. ' On May 10 we had a track meet with Pacific University at Forest Grove, and the following account which appeared in the Statesman tells the story: In a track and field meet at Forest Grove yesterday between Pacific I Diversity and Chemawa, the Indians conclusively demonstrated their superiority by walking away with the big end of the score to the tune of 69 to 30. This is an even greater defeat than that university suffered at the hands of Willamette university here on the 1st of May. Owing to the rainy weather the track was in bad shape for the con test, being quite muddy and consequently anything like record break ing time in any of the events was impossible. In spite of this handi cap the Chemawa men showed up in fine shape, seeming to possess the endurance which put them in a class by themselves under such trying conditions. The pole vault was the only event in the meet in which an unusually good record was made J. Service of Chemawa, the winner, vaulting an even eleven feet. This breaks all previous Chemawa records by eight inches. Owing to a lack of time the 220 low hurdles and the relay race were not run. ' The events and those winning places were: 100 yard dash—Walker, C. 1st; Breeden, C. 2d; Sellew, C. rd; time 10 4-5 seconds. Mile— Jim, C. 1st; I upper, P. 2d; Case, P. 3d; time 5 minutes and 2 sec onds. High jump- LaChance, C. 1st; Bellinger, P. 2d; J. Service. C. 3d; height 5 feet and 4 inches.
