Y. M. AND Y. W. C. A. NOTES
At the Junior Y.W .C.A . meeting, on Sunday after
noon, after the story hour, Miss Judd sang for the
little girls a solo which they claim as their very own,
“ The Old Sweet Story” by Luke. The little girls
are very enthusiastic about their meetings and are
doing good work.
“ Practical Christianity at Chemawa” was the dis
cussion topic at the Y .W .C .A . meeting on Sunday
afternoon. In spite of the lure of the spring sun
shine, and a baseball game, there was a good attend
ance. Catherine Wilder was the leader, and a num
ber of the members participated in the discussion.
Dr. Wedge gave a splendid talk Sunday evening
before a joint meeting of the Y.M . and Y.W .C.A.
There was a large attendance, including the full mem
Quite a delegation representing the Chemawa track
team took part in the 16th annual indoor track and
field meet held last Saturday at Columbia Universitv,
Portland.
Janies Choate took part in the 5O-yd and 220-yd
sprints, broad jum p, shotput and the relay. In the
220-yd event he qualified for the finals, and took sec
ond in the broad jump, jum ping 20ft, 4 in.
Axel Johnson took part in the high hurdles and
took second in the academic events.
Clarence Edwards qualified for the finals, but lost
out in the 50-yd academic.
Altogether we made five points in the ’varsity
events and three in the academic, standing fifth in the
number of points.
Two hundred and fifty of the best athletes of the
coast took part in this meet and in many of the events
there were so many contestants, and it was apparently
so crowded, that individual supremacy did not appear
to count.
Albert Spearson was the most feared man in his
event and in consequence an united effort was put
forth by the other contestants to defeat him. He was
boxed in and finally tripped, which lost him the
chance of winning the race. The officials in this
track meet failed to enforce the rules that govern
these meets and there was too much unsportsman-like
conduct on the part of contestants.
CHEMAWA VS. O. A. C. FRESHMEN
Driving a two-base hit over left field with two men
on bases Wagner won the game for O. A. C. here last
Saturday afternoon, 4 to 3. Chemawa put up a good
brand of ball for the first game of the season. It
looked like our game till the first half of the ninth
inning when Bettles walked two men who scored on
W agner’s long hit.
Joe pitched a wonderful ball and had more on it
than the cover, sending eighteen men back to warm
the bench, while Jenstel, pitching for O.A .C., has
eight to his credit. Mr. James umpired the game.
N ext Saturday Pacific University will play here.
