THE CHEM AW A AMERICAN PAGE 2 ThcCHEMAWA AMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon, HARWOOD HALL, Superintendent Address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager SUBSCRIPTION - • - 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES The score of 18 to 6 hardly tells the tale of the terrific foot ball that our team played when they met and defeated The Dalles team at The Dalles last Saturday. At half time the score was still 0 to 0, but when they received the kickoff at the start of the second half a slashing, dashing team went down the field and by line drives and off tackle plays carried the ball to The Dalles’ 30-yard line. Here, three minutes after the half started, Atkins threw’ the first pass of the game into the arms of Reginald De Poe for a ten-yard gain. Two rushes later he drove another into the outstretched arms of Charles George for the first touchdown. Penalties of unheard-of description were inflicted to dampen and kill the spirit of our team, but it only kindled the fires of their determination. The linemen both on offense and defense ripped and tore through The Dalles’ line and time after time stopped the ballcarrier in his tracks. Their triple threat man, Cooke, barely moved from his tracks before being buried under a horde of red-jerseyed Indians. The w’ork of Strom, captain and tackle; Keta, tackle; Rassmussen and Peratrovich, guards; Reginald De Poe and Charles George, ends; was the most out standing. On defense they were a stonewall and on the of fense they opened up holes with rapid regularity through which Thompson, fullback, and Fleury, left half, drove through for long and consistent gains. Fleury’s 40-yard run was the sensation of the game. From his own 45-yard line he carried the ball through the line and eluded the defensive backfield only to be tackled almost on the line by the safety. Here Thompson carried the ball over for the second touchdown. Atkins made the third ^n a quarterback sneak. Mr. Bent has scheduled a game for this afternoon with the Salem High school at Salem. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES Howdy folks! We, the freshman girls, are canning, baking, and finishing things up that we started before the fair. Our Domestic Science class is divided into families and we are going to start cooking meals, preparing for our demonstration dinners for the coming year. Eva Jackson, who has returned, and Ruby Pearson, a new student, have been added to our Domestic Sci ence class. The Sophies are canning vegetables and are making a great success. They are also making preparations for their demonstration dinners, which they will begin giving within a few weeks. JUNIOR NOTES The Junior boys have organized a class football team with Coquelle Thompson as coach. Henry Bowker and Charles Moon, not on the school team, have made very creditable showings. Anna Paratrovich had her tonsils taken out on Wednesday. There were several other minor opera tions this week. The Junior girls, Lillian Marion, Josephine Alberts and Florence Sheravoloff, who are taking nursing, assisted in these operations. After the home letters were written last Friday the Junior boys gave the following impromptu program: Class song. Class: saxophone trio.

LOCAL Daniel Orton, a graduate of Chemawa and of Salem high school, was a recent visitor to the school. Mr. Fisher has taken quite a number of the Che mawa employes for long auto rides on Sunday after noons. Mr. Hall and Mr. Bent went to Corvallis Friday to see the game between Gonzaga University and the Oregon Agricultural College. They reported a good game. Mr. and Mrs. Iliff recently visited Portland. While there they visited the Buckney grade school. This school, which has the platoon system, proved to be very interesting to Mr. and Mrs. liiff. The various literary societies met in regular session last Friday evening and some very good programs are reported to have been rendered, which proved of keen interest. We hope to publish the report in full in our next issue. The floral display by our landscape gardener, Mr. Ross, and his assistants, was more artistic and beauti ful at the State Fair than ever before. Many favorable comments were heard on all sides. George W. Bent, disciplinarian at Chemawa, was an after dinner speaker at a Salem Rotarian meeting last week, and acquitted himself most creditably from reports to reach us. He is well informed on matters relative to Indian education, w’hich was his topic— and other matters, too. Miss Daisy Leffler of Portland was the week-end guest of Miss Eleanor Houk. Miss Leffler and Miss Houk were room-mates at the University of Oregon. Miss Leffler graduated from the university and is now employed in Portland. Miss Thornhill proved her ability at steering a Ford and took Miss Houk and her visitor for a drive on Sunday afternoon. An election of Y. M. C. A. officers held last Sunday evening resulted as follows: President, Jesse Morgan; vice-president, Charles Moon: secretary. Archie Gray cloud; treasurer, Bert Kow; sergeant-at-arms, Joe Webster; reporter, Tom Anayah. It is hoped that there will be a good attendance throughout the year. Visitors will be most welcome.
