C H E M A W A W IN S V IC T O R Y O V ER U OF O
FRESH M EN
N ot since th e days of R euben S au n d ers, Joe Teabo,
and V ictor G raham , w hen C hem aw a played on a par
w ith all th e big college football team s of the N orthw est,
did it tro t onto th e field such a stro n g and m ighty
team as it did last S atu rd ay against the powerful
O regon freshm en.
T h is gam e was the hardest fought and the most
spectacular contest staged here in m any seasons.
It has been a long tim e since we have seen anybody
hit the line as hard and tear around the end with as
m uch speed and force as did C aptain E d er last S a tu r
day. H e set the pace and his team m ates followed
w ith such w onderful force the O regon team w asd riv e n
back w ithin scoring distance several tim es. Choate
at fullback, Sam pson, left half, and B ettles, q u arter,
all dashed into the line and around the ends w ith all
the fierceness of the big college stars.
T h e in itial score of the gam e was m ade in the
second q u arte r. O ur backfield men rushed th e ball
to O re g o n ’s 30 yard line w here E der executed a p retty
place k ick . T h e half ended 3 to 0 in our favor.
L ate in th e th ird q u arte r Chem aw a was penalized
all of the distance b u t cue yard from the goal line.
On th e second ru sh O regon carried th e ball under our
goal posts, m aking th e score 7 to 3.
T h e fo u rth q u a rte r opened w ith the ball in O reg o n ’s
possession and w ith such speed and fierceness we have
not w itnessed here in years, line bucks, end ru n s,
and tackles were m ade th a t has p u t this gam e far above
any we have seen here before.
O regon steadily carried th e ball to o u r 20 yard line
b u t were su d d en ly stopped. H ere C hem aw a formed
a defense th a t O regon was unable to p en etrate and
lost th e ball o n dow ns
T hen began th e aerial and
line attack th a t will long be rem em bered bv those who
w itnessed th is gam e. T h e ends pulled passes out of
th e air and the backs charged th ro u g h th e holes paved
by o u r lin e on a steady m arch to th e freshm en goal
N ot for a second did they sto p till B ettles plow ed
th ro u g h th e line for the final score. T h e gam e ended
10 to 7.
O nly o u r old tim ers can rem em ber so far back
w hen we had a line whose w ork had m ore effect on
lxith the offense and the defense and a back field th at
had m ore punch than those th a t defended Chemaw’a ’s
goal last S a tu rd a y . M artin Colby and H au ser, ends;
N ix ar.d Bob Downie, tackles; “ L u p p s” P eratrovich
and N ix , guard s; Johnson, center; E d er, Choate,
Sam pson and B ettles in the backfield. T hese are the
men who won the hardest gam e played in years.
M artin Colby received a painful in ju ry in th e leg
d u rin g the first quarter and was replaced by L iljegren
whose p lucky playing stood out w ith the rest.
l'he team wall have a w eek ’s re s t before th e n e x t gam e
and it is expected th at the Colby brothers and the o th
er cripples will be back in shape for the gam e against
Pacific U niversity here on the 13th. C hem aw a and
P U. are th e stro n g est contenders for the non-confer
ence ch am p io n sh ip and we are ready to play any team
in the N o rth w est for it.
O ur little I.T .C . football team train ed faithfully for
one w hole week prep arin g to m eet the W ashington
ju n io r high school team of Salem and we have w aich-
ed them w ith a lot of real interest. L ast S atu rd ay
th e tw o team m et. O ur boys played like wTild fire
and w’on th e gam e before a large en th u siastic crow d
34 to 20.

F riday evening room 7 of th e academ ic building

feeling in th e dim ly-lighted room . E leanor H au k ,

ing and was g reatly applauded. H a ttie Cay ton p e r
