BASK ETBALL Tw o h ard gam es of basketball were played on F r i day and S aturday evenings in the school gym nasium , in w hich C hem aw a was the victor each tim e. T he first gam e was w ith th e stro n g O klahom a q u in tet, who were to u rin g th e west and it is said th is contest w ith the C hem aw a team was th e ir 50th gam e since leaving O klahom a, w inning forty-seven out of fifty. O u r team , how ever, was too stro n g for them , as the score indicates, 24 to 14. It was not a one-sided gam e, for every point m ade on eith er side was earned by consistent effort and good team w ork, although at no tim e in th e gam e did it appear th a t Chem aw a could lose, for th e hom e team took th e lead easily from th e sta rt and added to it until the end. T h e m anager spoke hig h ly of the good treatm en t received, and said he did not m ind being defeated by such clean sportsm en and th a t our team was easily the strongest one th ey had yet en countered. On S atu rd ay n ig h t th e gam e w ith P hilom ath Col lege was also a hard one. T h e college team led off w ith eig h t points before ou r boys got sta rted , but th e first half ended w ith a tie of 10 to 10. T h e second half was a different sto ry , for never, it w ould seem, d id the C hem aw a team play faster and ex h ib it better team w ork and soon increased th e lead. T h e gam e ended w ith th e score in favor of C hem aw a of 28 to 18. In both gam es the balcony and stage were crow ded w ith visitors, pupils and em ployees, and th e songs and yells and general ro oting w ere stro n g . T h e school band was also present and added to the life of the evening.
