It is rumored that some under-class women are mis applying their leap-year privileges and are attempting to kidnap one of the senior boys. The Senior girls are on guard. The nine Senior men and Superintendent Hall had coffee and ‘ ‘ hot dog’ ’ sandwiches at the Domestic Science after the Glee Club entertainment on Monday night—a smokeless smoker! The Senior girls learned that their house-mother, Mrs. Cox, was enjoying a birthday anniversary. They decided*.to help and invited her to a well- appointed dainty surprise spread. She reports a fine time. Two little girls appeared at the door of the Senior room on Thursday loaded* down with blue book bags. The applause followed them down the stairs and out of the building. The Class of ’20 is very thankful to Mrs. Sherman and the Domestic Art department tor this most useful gift. Our basketball girls decorated themselves with glory last Friday afternoon when they defeated the high school team of Salem by a score of 10 to 8 in the high .school gym.

Time was allowed until either team gained two points to play off the tie. “ Jeff” Davis, our darting forward, strapped the lid on the victory when she annexed the East Saturday evening Mr. Bent rounded up his Brewer Hall junior basketball tossers and “ wolloped” the Washington Jr. high school team of Salem to the tune of 45 to 22. Although the first half of the game ended 17 to 15 in Chemawa’s favor, things.Jooked rather gloomy for our team as the Salemites were fast, and accurate basket shooters. But during the intermission our boys rceived a lecture from one that sounded like Supt. Hall that sent them back into game with so much punch, team work ahd accuracy in shooting baskets that they simply smoothered the juniors from Washington. CHEMAWA Vs. SILVERTON ATHLETIC CLUB East Saturday evening oUr basketball team and some thirty loyal rooters motored to Silverton where they gathered in their fifth successive victory. It took our team a little while to get its bearings in the small gym; but after they had located the net it proved to be the same old Story—basket after basket rolling through the hoop. Once or twice the Silverton score crept up quite close and caused things to look danger ous, but each time our boys would take on h burst of speed and creep right back out of the danger zone. The game was fast, clean and interesting and much closer than the final score would indicate. The first half ended 22 t o 17 in Chemawa’s favor. In spite of an injury received in the early part of the contest, Nix starred at guard.and in making bas kets. Nuckolls showed a marked improvement in this game over the others and held his man to com paratively few baskets. In fact, the whole team played well and steady and went in with the deter mination to win—and did win. Our rooters never tired and kept our team keyed up to the highest notch all the time and when the final whistle blew the score stood 41 to 29 in Chemawa’s favor. Tonight our hoopers play the O. A. G. Freshman here. This should be a good game, as the Freshmen make their varsity sit up and take notice. JUNIORS W IN GAME
