AVITH the Present issue
of the Chemawa American the
Athletic Association which was organized during the
previous mcnth, enters into the second month of its
existence. The results, moral and financial, accom­
plished bv this Association have proven highly satis­
factory. In spite of the fact that last month was not
a very good time for obtaining financial aid from the
employees and students, not less than 102 season tickets were sold, and
it is highly probable that, within the next few days, more members of
Chemawa’s faculty and student body will signify their willingness to be
enrolled as Active Members of the Association.
The Association has been organized on a firm and independent basis,
and will be in charge of the following officers: H. E. Wadsworth, Pre­
sident; Edwin A. Smith, Vice-President; Gordon Hobucket, Secretary;
Dr. C. D. Fulkerso i, Treasurer; Dr. Leo J. Frachtenberg, Manager;
Emil H. Hauser, Coach; Mrs. Nannie M. Willis, Girls’ Athletics-
Frank Peratrovich, Football; Henry Elk, Baseball; Frank Chamberlin,
Basketball; and Russel Adms, Track.
An application by our Association, addressed to the Athletic Council
of the Independent Colleges of Oregon, to admit Chemawa into the
Athletic League of these colleges, was turned down on the grounds that
Chemawa is not a college. There are, however, strong probabilities,
that Chemawa will eventually be made a member of this League. In
the meantime all the colleges, composing this League, have pledged
themselves to meet our athletic teams on an equal footing.
The basketball season is in full blast. In addition to a good repre­
sentative Girls’ Team. Chemawa has put forth this year a strong First
Team, a Second Team, and a fast aggregation of Juniors. Our First
Team seems to be very much in demand, as is evinced by the fact that
games have been scheduled thus far with Willamette University, Mc­
Minnville College, Pacific College, Pacific University, Philomath Col­
lege and Mt. Angel College. Other games, in the process of arrange­
ment, are with Oregon Agricultural College, with the Portland Y. M.
C. A., the Multnomah Club of Portland, Eugene High School, Wash­
ington State College and the College of Idaho. A number of good
games have been also arranged for our Second and Juniors Teams.
None of our teams have thus far struck their regular gait. With the
exception of the Juniors, all other teams have been defeated in fast and
close games. Our girls were beaten by the Silverton High School girls in
