C freshm en defeated our team last S atu rd ay afternoon on th e col lege gridiron 13 to 6. A lth o u g h the F reshm en recov ered the ball d u rin g the first five m inutes of play on our five-yard line after a fum ble, they lacked the necessary punch to carry the pigskin past our line, w hich stood like a stone wall against th e sh ifts and attack s of th e rooks. T hey lost the ball on dow ns, also th eir only chance of reg isterin g a score in the first half and we kicked the ball out of danger. T h e initial score of th e gam e was made in the first quarter by the F reshm en after com pleting a p rettv , long, forw ard pass to rig h t end, and who raced along the side line for forty yards to a touchdow n. S h o rtly after the kick-off M artin Colby recovered the ball on a fum ble and ran forty-five yards th ro u g h a broken field for a touchdow n, ty in g th e score. Both team s failed to kick goal. W ith a series of line plunges, end ru n s, and su c cessful forw ard passes we carried the ball from our five-yard line to, and for a second had one foot over the F re sh m e n ’s goal line, only to lose it in th e n ex t rush on a fum ble. T h e rooks p u n ted out of danger and once m ore we carried the ball back beneath th e ir goal posts and successfully passed th e ball across the line, w hen tim e w as called. Ju st a fraction of a second too late for th e score to count. T h e rooks annexed th eir n ex t score in the last q u a r ter. W e had carried the ball to th eir th irty -y ard line and attem p ted a long forw ard pass over the left from the rig h t side of the line w hich was intercepted by the rooks and carried betw een th e goal posts. T h e kick was shooting far beneath th e bar when Spearson ju m p ed forw ard to stop th e ball w hich h it his h ands and bounded up and over th e bar m ak in g th e score 13 to 6. O u r back field m ade co n sisten t yardage th ro u g h th e F reshm en line and our ends pulled several passes out of th e air for long gains, b u t we failed to get th e ball across the line often enough to w in th e gam e. Louis Colby and R eginald Dow nie w ere taken o u t of the gam e on account of in ju ries received and were replaced by Roy N uckolls and Joe Bettles. T h ey will probably be unable to play n ex t S atu rd ay here against the U niversity of O regon F resh m en . T h is gam e is considered th e hardest on o u r schedule as th e F resh m en have repeatedly held th eir varsity to a standstill SECOND TEAM D EFEA TS SALEM H IG H SCHOOL O u r fighting second strin g men proved too m uch for th e Salem H ig h School team by defeating them last F rid a y afternoon on the W illam ette U niversity field. T h e gam e was well advertised and a large and e n th u s iastic crow d w itnessed C h em aw a’s hot shots take th e high school stu d en ts down th e line 20 to 12. T h e second s trin g e rs ’ passes via th e aerial ro u te and off tackle cross bucks proved too deep for th e high school stu d en ts to solve and they com pleted passes and m ade ru n s anyw here from five to sixty-five y ards at a clip. Joe B ettles was the sensation of the gam e. E arly in the first q u arter he picked up a fum ble and ran 95 y ard s for a touchdow n w ith the Salem team hot on his heels. Later h e tu c k e d a forw ard pass under his arm and ran 65 y ard s th ro u g h a broken field for a n other score. T h e high school has a good team , but th e wav o u r hot shots m ixed up the passes and line bucks was too foxy for them to solve. Jam es C hoate, C hem aw a’s sensational half-back o f last y e a r’s team , has ju st retu rn ed and is gladly r e ceived by the v arsity m em bers. “ Sm iling J im ’’ was o u r biggest gro u n d gainer last year. It is also reported th at G eorge N ix is now in S eattle on his way here to school from A laska. Big N ix is som e tackle and has been a tow er of stren g th to o u r team in th a t position for som e tim e. E arly in th e sea son we heard from these tw o boys expressing their re g rets at being unable to be here at th e beginning of th e term on account of m atters th a t had to be looked after at home. T h e Brewer H all team cam e back strong last week and defeated th e M itchell Hall eleven 14 to 13. T h e resu lt of this gam e m akes a win for each team ; the n ex t gam e will decide th e cham pionship. T h e in terest ran high at th e first of these gam es and in creases w ith each one. T h e M itchell H all band fu r nished th e m usic at the last gam e and it is hoped th at both bands will join to g eth er at the next. SE N IO R NOTES T h e Senior class needs one more m em ber to com e up to the class of ’19. L ouis Colby w ears th e Cross of V alor won in the O. A. C. gam e last S atu rd ay .
