Coach Sanders and fourteen men boarded th e train at Chem aw a early T h u rsd ay m orning, a r r iv ing at G oldendale shortly after noon. Both team s averaged about th e sam e in w eight. T h o u g h th e field was wet and soggy th e gam e was fast and our team com pleted several forw ard passes for long gains. L ouis Colby also got aw ay and bro u g h t th e spectators to th eir feet by a 40-yard ru n on a criss-cross play. E arly in the second q u arter N uckolls com pleted two p retty passes th at gained 20 y ard s each and brought the ball w ithin the L eg io n ’s one-yard line. C hoate carried th e ball across th e chalk lin e in the n ex t rush and kicked goal for the first score. T h e first half ended 7 to 0. But for two sh o rt passes th e second half was held entirely to stra ig h t football. In th e third and fourth q u a rte rs C hem aw a started to rush the ball from the 20-yard line on the kick-off and steady, determ ined line bucks and off-end ru n s, grad u ally carried the ball to the G oldendale goal line. Each tim e C hoate p lu n g ed across th e last m ark for a touchdow n and booted the ball betw een th e posts. W ith only th ree m inu tes to play in the last period Chem aw a carried the ball to the center of the field on the kick-off. Tw o rush es placed the ball on the L e g io n ’s 12-yard line and the w histle blew, ending th e gam e 21 to 0. T h e gam e was hard fo ught and every point earned. A lth o u g h the G oldendale team was unable at any tim e to advance the ball against the strong, stubborn defense of the Chem aw a team they m anaged to hold th e ball for four dow ns and p u n t 40 to 45 yards, th e re by k eeping the score dow n. T h e offensive and defensive w ork of our line and back field was splendid and p retty to see and won the adm iratio n of m any spectators.
