M ITCHELL H A LL D EFEA TS B R E W E R H A L L 3 0 -0 Joe Bettles and his speedy little team of Brewer Hall were given a severe jolt last Saturday by the heavy Mitchell Hall team coached by Downie. It was a great game to watch because of the sensational playing of right half-back Choate and left- end Berry of the Mitchell team. Gouley showed up well on the Mitchell Hall line, while Asbill proved to be a tower of strength on the Brewer Hall line. The work of Bettles and Liligren in the passing game fea tured for the losing team. Mitchell’s four touchdowns were earned by straight line bucking and a few long end runs. Downie had a great day, converting three of the touchdowns into goals, besides his perfectly executed drop-kick from the 32-yard line. The Brewer Hall team took the aggressive by a series of long passes during the last three minutes of play. When the whistle blew, the ball was on Mitchell Hall’s three-vard line. LOCAL H. C. Monroe, a new student from Montana, is in receipt of his draft number. The engineers spent Monday afternoon at the task of repairing the washers in the laundry. On Sunday a large number of boys were vaccinated with a serum for prevention of Spanish Influenza. Marie Stone and Francis Boyce, former students at Chemawa, are reported to have been married recently at Vancouver, Wash. The farmers are working hard to get all the plowing done before the real cold or rainy weather renders such work disagreeable or impossible. Rumor has it that Walter Williams, now a petty of ficer in the U. S. Navy, will visit us during the Christmas holidays. We shall be glad to see him. Potato digging will be the next crop in line to be harvested. The gardeners predict that one week’s work with the potato-digger will clean them all up. Let us hope so. Edward Gilbeau, a member of last year’s graduating class, is holding a position as tailor at the Woolen Mills Store in Salem. He will make Chemawa his home and go back and forth on the electric car. Mr. Loos, coach of the “ Sailors,” says that he now has the laugh on the “ Sammies” to even up .for what the latter did to his boys a year ago—6 to 3. Let’s all laugh, its good for the “ grouch.” Next week we are going to lose Mr. Chamberlin and Roy Nuckolls, who are to report for service in the national army. It is necessary on account of the “ Big Cause,” yet we dislike to see them go. Yesterday morning gymnasium classes for the boys were started by Mr. Bent. Beginning the same morning he put into effect a movement whereby all boys are to receive “ setting up” exercises. This is a good move. All boys at Chemawa were glad to welcome Mr. Bent on his return from U. of O. where he had taken a special course of military training. He seemed glad to get back, although he declared that he was royally treated while at Eugene. Logan Fann, who has been on the sick list since his return to school, has regained his health and is again in the tailor shop, where he is of great assistance. He works the best he knows how. Let us all follow his form and boom things about Chemawa. On Monday evening Mr. Bent called all the boys to the gymnasium for military instruction and to tell them of his plans for the immediate future. He is ask ing the co-operation of the boys and we hope that he gets it. From what we’ve heard he will. Word comes from Fordie Downie, a former pupil at Chemawa, and who has been disabled for the past year, stating he is helping his country by knitting socks for the soldiers. He has now reached a point where he can knit a sock a day and not exert himself. He wishes to be remembered to friends at Chemawa.
