I T H E CH EM AW A A M E R IC A N PAGE I The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Published W eekly at the Salem Indian-Training School Ohemawa, Oregon, H A R W O O D H A L L , Superintendent Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager S U B S C R IP T IO N - - - 50 Ots P E R A N N U M A T H L E T IC NOTES Saturday afternoon our football team will play its first scheduled game of the season against the High School of Commerce of Portland. The game is to be played here and will start at 2:30. A student body meeting and rally is planned for Friday evening to give the yell leader and the students a chance to get together on their yells and songs. Needless to say their support will be needed from the sidelines because of the fact that Commerce is no easy mark and comes to us with most of their last year’s team intact, which made an enviable record in its games last year. Coquille (Tommie) Thompson, our fullback, will more than likely be out of the line-up when our team takes the field, as will Jack Abraham; both out on account of injuries. W illie Skinna, left guard, will also have to view the game from the players’ bench. However, the squad- .is - RQt - dpwpp.ast because of the absence of these men, but all are working hard to fill up the gap left open by them. Charles DePoe came in late last week and is work ing out in Abraham’s position. Reginald DePoe, who has been our mainstay in the backfield as well as pun ter, has been shifted to left end. Though this will be “ Freak’s” first attempt at flank position, he should not have any trouble because of his experience and ability. Bill Johnson and Tom Anayah have been alternating at fullback. Both of these men have the dash and speed that will make up for what they lack in beef. East Saturday afternoon the squad held a light work-out which proved a valuable experience to both line and backfield men. After the first few minutes all realized the importance of knowing their particular job and doing it. Though nothing like perfection is looked for in the first game, yet many of the rough edges will be ironed out before the battle with Com merce. There are exactly thirty men now on the squad and nearly all of these will get a chance to play in the opening game. J U N IO R NOTES Reno Booth returned to Chemawa Thursday. spent the summer at Metlakatla, Alaska. Reno George Johnson writes that he will return to Che mawa soon.

W e expect to have Raymond Haldane with us soon. He is a member of the Reliance Literary Society, the band, the choir, and the school quartette, so his return will cause many to say “ I ’m glad.” Josephine Alberts has choosen Chemawa to complete her junior and senior years of high school work.

It seemed like old times and from the spirit each Scout displayed some real ‘ ‘Scout ing” is to be accomplished this season. Captain Stacy was a prominent new Scout admitted and he will act as Scout Master for one of the troops. It is hoped that he will be able to assist in making better Scouts. The Scouts themselves have deter mined that they shall be heard from soon. W ith a lot of “ pep” and “ bulldog tenacity,” as Supt. Hall says, théy are going to do things. They have already issued a declaration of war against the “ Rat Nation” as a starter, and a war of complete annihilation is promised. . Yesterday was the day set for a reorganization of the troops and new patrol leaders were to have been selected. 3 A ll boys from 12 to 18 years old are invited to qual ify for membership. Boys, think it over, Y o u will gain in many ways by becoming a Scout. If you de cide to join one of the troops talk to one of the Scouts.
