stu d e n t body and faculty, filled the balcony and stage
in th e gym to overflow ing. T h e first p a rt of the gam e
w as decidedly in favor of S ilv erto n , w ith a score at
th e end of th e first half of 18 to 6 in favor of the visi

w hen C hem aw a made 22 points and S ilverton 6, m a k
in g a final score of 28 to 2 4 in favor of Chem aw a.
D uring the first half our team did not seem to w ake
up, but Mr. H a u se r’s enthusiasm and personality,
put the desired “ p e p ” into th e boys d u rin g th e last
half and they played a h ard , fast, snappy gam e, w ith
th e opposing team ex ten d in g them selves to the lim it
to hold th e ir lead. It was only d u rin g the last m in
