ATHLETIC NOTES
Chemawa 21 Reed College 2, is the score of the
game played last Saturday in Portland. What started
out to be a close game ended a regular merry-go-round
for our team. By bunching five hits and a walk in
the last inning our team garnered eight runs before
Reed could get the side out.
Solomon Fleury was our heavy hitter for the day.
Out of seven trips to the plate he made three doubles,
two singles, and drew two bases on balls. Atkins
was a close second with two doubles, one trippie, one
single and a base on balls. Each one made four runs.
On top of such a busy day at bat Fleury sent twelve
of the Reed hitters back to the bench, while Atkins
was on the receiving end of every strike out. Ordin
arily three hits in one game would be a big day’s
work for any of our men, but in this game it was just
average with the entire team.
In the last few games the team has been hitting the
ball, but today they will be put to a real test when
they face the strong Columbia University nine in
Portland, and the North Pacific Dental College tomor
row. Our team has been lining up as follows: Jake
Atkins, catcher; Solomon Fleury and Leander Wilson,
pitchers; Reginald DePoe, first; Willie J. Williams,
second; Valin Davis, third; Dandro George, shortstop;
William Brendible, left field; Charles George, center
field; Leo Burns, right field.
Last Saturday afternoon Coach Sanders and his
handful of track men gave Willamette University
team a run for their lives and held them to a 62 1-2 to
58 1-2 score before one of the largest crowds ever
assembled to witness a track meet held in Salem.
Throughout the meet our boys gave a very credit
able account of themselves and only lost the meet
when they did not have any one to enter in the 440-yard
tun and all three places went to W. U. The meet was
most exciting. Every event was a race to the fin
ish.
John Kowasuk demonstrated the grit and pluck of
our entire team when he scrambled to his feet after
taking a bad tumble in going over the first hurdle in
the 220-yard low hurdle race and finished one of the
prettiest races of the day. John was heartily ap
plauded at the finish of the race.
The events in which our boys placed were as follows:
Shot put, Solomon Fleury, first; Ernest Brunoe, third.
120-yard high hurdles, John Kowasuk, second; Charles
George, third. 100-yard dash, William McMaster,
first. Mile run, Louis Turntoes, first. Pole Vault,
Joe Dumore, first. 220-yarddash, William McMaster,
first. Broad jump, Charles George, first. Javelin,
Reginald DePoe, third. High jump, Joe Dumore,
second; Alfred Bernard, tied for third. Low hurdles,
John Kowasuk, second. Discus, Solomon Fleury,
second; Charles George, third. The half-mile relay
was won by Solomon Fleury, Nick Stepetin, John Ko
wasuk and William McMaster.
JUNIOR NOTES
Clarinda Quinnel has learned to be a professional
gesso maker.
Evelyn Whicebear and Lila Crofoot have been as
sistant laundresses for the past two weeks.
Jake, Solomon and Charles have proved to be expert
baseball men. What could the varsity do without
them?
We are very sorry to report the loss of our little,
short, tall Junior, Robert Fielder, known as one of
our best boys, also band drum major, so not only we
Juniors will misshim.
We are very proud of our wax work. Since we
own this large manufacturing firm we will show a few

Miss Eakin has kindly volunteered to play the
piano for Mrs. Downie in the daily drilling of the
girls in physical education.
Since there will be no graduating exercises this year
invitations for the closing events will not be sent out
to the general public as usual.
Each year about this time it takes a pretty good ac
countant to figure out how to conduct his school to
the end of June on the money available.
Stella Wyman was taken ill during the first of the
week. It was considered very serious for a time and
her mother was notified. She is better now and will
soon be able to return to her home. The mother and
sisters were here but have returned to their home and
the grandmother is still with us.
