THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 2 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN , to play the old games over again and they are thor oughly enjoyed as well as the college May Day festiv ities. Here’s hoping angler Bent has his line so baited that he is able to land a game for us. Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Our schedule as it now stands is as follows: Chemawa, Oregon, HARWOOD HALL, Superintendent Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager SUBSCRIPTION - - - 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES Inclement weather has deprived us of several base ball games this spring; two were called off on account of rain. Salem high arrived here last Wednesday to play that long postponed game just in time to see our field flooded when the rain poured down seemingly in bucketfuls. The second game was called off early Saturday morning when a long distance message was received from Columbia University in Portland telling us not to come, as their field was under water. If the weather permits the Salem high game will be played today at 3:30. Sunday the sophomores and freshmen will play the second of the class games; their game was postponed last week cn account of rain. The class spirit so much in evidence during the football and basketball contests dining the winter months is by no means missing at the baseball games, which was proven at the senior-junior game last week. The juniors won the game, but it must be admitted that when it comes to yells and songs they have to hand it to the sen iors. Friday afternoon Columbia University will play here. It will be remembered by those who witnessed the Columbia game last year that it was a “hummer.” The final score was 1 to 0 in our favor. With our schedule half over and only two games played the 1925 season will go down on record as about the poorest season in the history of the school, unless Manager Bent is able to scare up a few more games. He had about a dozen games arranged, but the weather man cheated us out of something like half of them. What all our athletes are looking for is the arrange ment of a baseball game with one of the nearby col leges on their May Day program. On this day, as has been the custom, every letterman and many who were not fortunate enough to earn their letter but had grit to stick it out to the bitter end, travels with the team. It has always been a very happy, picnic affair; with the Superintendent’s hearty permission all hands load on the truck bright and early with plenty of “hot dogs” and everything that goes with them and light out for the best picnic of the season.
