A CLOSE GAME
The basketball game between Chemawa and Pacific
College in the school gymnasium last Friday evening
was a very close and exciting game, first one side lead
ing and then the other. At the end of the first half
the score stood 16 to 16. The work of both teams during
the second half was probably the most strenuous w it
nessed on our floor this season, each team realizing that
only by the best of team work and quickest movement
would they be able to win. Chemawa would secure more
trvs at the basket, but the ball failed to land, while the
visitors seemed to be able on account of their height, to
score.
The game ended with a score of 26 to 28 in favor of
the visitors. The next game will be played this after
noon at 3:30 with the Mt. Angel team. This will be
the second game of the season with this team. We lost
the first game by one basket. The visitors are big husky
fellows and a strong team. The games mentioned above
are the only ones lost this year.
Chemawa is represented by: Robert Service, center;
Reginald Downie, forward; Russell Adams, forward;
Frank Peratrovich, guard; Frank Chamberlin, guard.
