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.
