SIL V E R T O N 30, C H E M A W A 18
W e are not offering anv alibis for the defeat of our
v arsity at Silverton last T h u rsd a y n ig h t for we know
th a t our squad is certain ly not a w orld beater, but
after sta rtin g the season w ith a win th e first gam e and
h o ld in g th e victors to a one-point m argin in Hie second,
th en tak e an overw helm ing defeat by a 30 to 18 score
in the th ird by a team inferior to th e two previous
team s play ed , it appears th at our team had a case o f
over-confidence in the first place and stag e-frig h t in
th e second. B uchert, forw ard, was way out of form
and was unable to locate th e basket, w hile G eorge did
not get going anyw ay near usual form till the second
half, alth o u g h both had num erous chances. A braham
p u t u p his usual good gam e at g uard w hile his side
p a rtn e r, P h in n ey , played far below par and allow ed
his man to m ake several easy baskets. D andro G eorge
was our high m an w ith 12 points. T h e rest were
m ade by B uchert, DePoe and P h in n ey , w ith one field
basket apiece.
T h e team w ork and passing of th e ball by ou r tos-
sers was unbeatable, but th e ir in ab ility to h it the
basket and the failure to keep one m an under our goal
spelled our defeat.
N orw est replaced B uchert at forw ard in the latter
p art of the gam e.

O ur girls played the prelim inary to the boys’ gam e
at Silverton last T h u rsd ay n ig h t and cam e hom e w ith
the long end of the 31 to 13 score d an g lin g from th eir
belt.
It was a cracker jack of a gam e. Coach Rose Downie
took along seven players and each one played an^ im
p o rtan t p art in th e defeat of th eir w hite sisters. Those
who made the trip are as follows: M adeline W ilder,
M aud P o tts, G race M origeau, O ka P aulina, Daisy
Ballard, Cecelia Sm ith, Cora Black and Coach Downie.
Silverton has alw ays been know n for th e ir sw ift
basketball team s and it has become the habit in the
last fe w years for our girls to set th eir traps for Silver-
ton and for a long tim e now they have succeeded, but
never before have they been quite so successful as they
were last T h u rsd ay n ig h t.
W ilder and Downie, forw ards; M origeau, center;
P au lin a and B allard, g u ard s; started the gam e and
waded rig h t in w ith the first pop out of the box. T h e
clever passing of our tw o forw ards and center was too
m uch for Silverton to solve. T hese three have the
passing gam e w orked up to w here it is an a rt. Silver-
ton, seem ingly, could not find them till the ball was
in th e basket. S lippery as eels we would say.
E arly in the first period when onr team had a safe
lead th e coach sent P otts in at forw ard; S m ith , center;
and Black, g u ard , and each one displaved her wares
well.
A lthough playing a losing gam e th e S ilverton team
“ carried o n ’’ and put up a plucky fight to the end.
Rose H am ilton, a form er m em ber of the W inona
literarv society o f Chem aw a, is now Mrs. M ilton E .
Mo re and is living in B row ning, M ontana.
She has
a baby girl nine m onths old and has nam ed it
Wi nona in honor of her society.
D uring the tw o-w eeks’ absence of M rs. V an d ag rift
the detail of girls com posed of A nna B rendible, C a th
erine B )oth, M artha E lle -n a n , M argaret Johnson,
Susan Cain and Ram ona T rip p received m any com
plim ents from the club m em bers for the splendid me ds
served. T h is speaks well for these voting girls who
have carried on th is work so efficien tly for so long a
tim e.
