It is rumored that some under-class women are mis

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

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.
In spite of the rules under which the girls play the
game was fast and hard fought throughout. At the
close of the first half the score stood 6 to 6. The
game continued to be anybody’s to the end and when
the final whistle blew the score stood 8 to 8. 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.
