The OUR GIRLS W IN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon, HARWOOD HALL, Superintendent Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager Entered at the Chemawa, Oregon, Postoffice as Second- Class Mail Matter SUBSCRIPTION - - - 6 0 Cts PER ANNUM GOOD SPORT EVENTS Nine wrestling matches and two boxing bouts fur nished pep and excitement for the entire student body and faculty on the afternoon of W ashington’s birthday. Little Sergie Bozeroff and Cy Wheeler, who come first at the tail end of “ E ” company and look just about half as big as a minute, staged the first match. It was a thriller and took Sergie two long minutes to pin Cy to the mat. Crim and Hawk, our heavies, wrestled ten minutes to a draw, as did Buckman and DeLorm, but the latter showed some action and aggressiveness and were quick to get holds and just as quick to slip out of them. In the next match Hanson put Scott to the mat in 5 minutes and 30 seconds with a half nelson and crotch hold in one of the best matches on the program. No match was more exciting or thrilling than that of Petellin and Teople. Teople, though inexperi enced, made a fine exibition of speed and aggressive ness and looked to be just about all his opponent could handle until quick as a flash Petellin slipped on the clamps that pinned him to the mat. Fomin, who is a little the heaviest, threw Karabel- nikoff after a hard struggle, while Ereaux and Turn- toes wrestled to a draw. Both were good matches. Donnelly, in the next match won a fall from Samuels in 3 minutes and 5 seconds. The match between Audette and Johnson, won bv A udettein 6 minutes, was the flashiest of all. Audette, though at a little disadvantage on account of a weak ened side, showed lots of wrestling skill and was quick as a cat in making flying holds and was good at getting out of holds. In the two boxing bouts on the card, Francis John son won from Louis Isador by two points while Moon and Minthorn fought to a draw. Sometime next week our varsity grapplersare going up against the famous Oregon City high school team. Oregon City has made an enviable record and has a good team, but we are going down to meet them with the sole intentions of bringing home the bacon. Al though a definite date has not been set, tentative arrangements have been made for a match with the Fifty-eight to eleven was the score by which our girls defeated the Silverton team here last Friday night. The superior teamwork and splendid accuracy of shoot ing baskets exhibited by our quintet so far outshined the team from Silverton that not for a moment was there any doubt in the minds of the spectators as to the outcome of the game. Right off the reel our forwards started a barrage to the basket and with town clock regularity and ac curacy did they pile up one of the largest scores ever suffered by a girls’ team. Teamwork always wins and games are more often won than lost when players have the accuracy of passing the ball displayed by our hoopers last Friday evening. From beginning to end our offense and defense was so complete that Silverton played as if baffled, though they fought hard and were game sports to the end. Cora Black and Daisy Ballard, guards; played the best defensive game we have witnessed by any girls’ team this season, while Madeline Wilder and Rose Downie, forwards; and Grace Morrigeau, center, worked the ball to the goal as prettily as any well coached boys’ team and threw baskets with deadly accuracy. Y. M. AND Y. W. 0. A. NOTES The boys who attended Y.M .C.A. Sunday evening were three times fortunate. They had invited as their speaker, Mr. Elliott, Boys’ Secretary from the Salem Y .M .C .A ., who gave a very splendid address on play ing the game of life according to the rules of the game. Mr. Elliott is a boys’ worker and gave a “ straight from the shoulder’’ talk which was much enjoyed. Shortly after the meeting opened two other visitors appeared, Rev. Elmer E. Higley of Chicago, Super intendent of Indian Missions for the M. E. Church, and Rev. Dr. Gilbert of New York, Superintendent of Mission work among foreign language speaking peo ples. Both men spoke very briefly and most interest ingly to the boys, and promised to return for a longer visit later. Dr. Higley and Dr. Gilbert visited the Sunday even ing chapel service and expressed their greetings to the entire student body there. VARSITY DEFEATED BY CLOSE SCORE In a hard-fought game the Salem Senators nosed out our varsity here last Friday evening by the close score of 18 to 16. The game was anybody’s until the verv last m inute when the Salem men scored the win ning point. The first half ending 7 to 6 in favor of the Senators was only duplicated in the second period by close guarding on the part of both teams. While our team showed up well in floor work, their inability to hit the basket even with easy shots spelled their defeat.
