THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 2 The CHEMAWA 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 Just by the “skin of her teeth” Columbia Univer sity was able to hold our warriors to a tie game on Mult nomah field last Saturday afternoon. A nicely execut ed drop kick was made by Solomon Fleury, our dash ing half back, in a try for the extra point, but the tally was disallowed because of alleged tripping in our backfield. Columbia was lucky, for that was all that saved her hide. Columbia showed some mighty football in the first quarter when they received the ball on the kick-off and gradually worked the ball to our goal line and scored, but after that period she might just as well have driven into a stone wall, for our linemen put up a defense that the collegians found impossible to pene trate. Our right end was the weakest part of our for ward wall. The cliff dwellers circled this flank for several long gains, but the linemen would immediate ly take the sting out of each run by holding the col legians for downs. With the opening of the second quarter our team started out with a dazzling aerial attack. Atkins hurled a 10-yard pass to DePoe and followed with another heave to Fleury. Thompson hit the line for six then repeated for a four-yard gain. With time about up Atkins shot a long pass to DePoe, who made an unusual catch when he jumped into the air and reaching over the shoulders of two opponents grabbed the ball and went over the line for the last score of the game. Thompson at fullback, and Fleury, Johnson, and Abraham at halves, proved a match for the Columbia defense, but their drives were made nil on several occasions by passes thrown over the goal line need lessly. In one instance, after the ball had been car ried to the opponents’ twenty-yard line, with second down and a yard to go, and the backfield tearing through the Columbia line for big yardage each time, a pass was attempted and we lost it because it was thrown across the line. Such “harem-scarem” foot ball makes a team which is otherwise good look bad. However, had that attack succeeded it would have been a great day, but it failed and in view of the fact that line plays were working well it was an error in judgment for they failed to coincide with the tactics and strategy of the game. JUNIORS 13-30PH0M0RES 6 The terrific line plunging of Moon and the brainy work of Haldane, the Juniors’ quarterback, enabled the Junior class to defeat the Sophomores 13 to 6 in a hard- fought battle on a recent afternoon. The first score came early in the second period when Haldane com pleted a beautiful 12-yard pass to Floyd Dupuis, who was over the line waiting for the pigskin. The kick failed. The Sophomores received and were held for downs and punted. It was a zig-zag battle until the end of the first half. The second half opened with the Sophs receiving. Gaining but little ground, they were forced to mint. Haldane fumbled the catch and the ball rolled to the 1-yardline where Jones, Sophies’ left end, fell upon it. On the next play it was put over in a quarterback sneak by Markistrum. The kick failed. The Juniors recieved, but were held for downs and Colgrove punted to the Sophies’ 10-yard line; the safety was caught in his tracks. The next rush resulted in a fumble, which was caught by O’Bryan, and he ran unmolested for the second touch down. The kick was good. The remaining part of the game was a hard scrap, but neither team threatened. The Juniors are running strong for the championship. “Bill” Markistrum and Jones starred for the “Sophies.” LITERARY SOCIETIES Non pareil After the regular business of the society was tran sacted and twenty-eight new members added and wel comed the society gave an excellent Armistice pro gram, as follows: Song, Society; Duet, Pearl Buckles and Jennie Al len; Vocal Trio, Zelma Johnson, Ida Audette and Mary Dophne; Flag Drill, Four Girls; Dialogue, Ida Escholt and Norma Douglas; Jolly-Up, Marie Bauer; Closing Songs and Yells, Society.
