THE CHEM AWA AMERICAN PAGE 2 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon. Please address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager. JAS. H. McGREGOR - This game will be a real test of our strength. The “frosh” trounced Columbia University last week by a big score, but this has only made our team more determined. Monday the boys took renewed interest in the schedule and practice on hearing of the improved physical condition of their captain and tackle, Ole Strom, who was critically injured in the Cor vallis game. Olie is greatly missed, as his leadership and strength was a powerful factor in the success of our team. The squad, especially, hopes for his speedy recovery. Superintendent LOCAL SUBSCRIPTION 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES The class football game played here last week between the juniors and the seniors was a red-hot battle from the start. There were no spectator-players to be seen anywhere and each of the twenty-two men or more who took part in the fray can justly feel that in some way or other he was directly respon sible for the well-earned score of his team, and further, that he loyally did his duty by his team and class. It was really a thrilling game to watch and one that was hard played. Both teams put up a scrappy offense and a stone wall defense. The game was easily the best played thus far this season. Both teams were nicely drilled and they jumped in and out of for mations with a lot of “pep.” Coquille Thompson and Solo mon Fleury are the coaches for the juniors and seniors re spectively and they deserve credit for the snappy way their teams performed. The seniors drew first blood and after bucking and unbuck ing around the middle of the field for the greater part of the first half started a victory march from their forty-five yard line toward the junior goal. With their backs against the wall the juniors' defense strengthened and was holding the dashing seniors for downs when a neatly executed forward pass from Archie Raines to Gustavius Logan spelled a touchdown for the wearers of the blue and gold. The juniors, fired by a touch down against them, proceeded with more determinedoperations and immediately carried the ball from their own forty-yard line to a touchdown by line charges and end runs with the ferociousness of wild bulls and the seniors were unable to check the parade. Robert Archambault, on the last play, pierced the tottering seniors’ line for 10 yards and the score. Attempt to kick goal failed. Though the seniors were forced back to the wall several times during the last half they always managed to get out of the hole and stave off a junior score. To pick the outstanding players in the game would result in printing the line-up of loth teams which space will not per mit. So we suggest to the class that the names of each player be placed on the roll of honor with the other bright stars of the class. This week the sophomores and the seniors will play and the freshmen and the juniors the week following. The officials for the next game are Reginald DePoe, referee; Paul Ketah, umpire; Coquille Thompson, headlinesman. This week-end our varsity meets the Oregon Freshmen at Eugene. The boys are hoping the game will be played as a preliminary to the Oregon-Stanford game so they can watch the big battle and incidentally see “Pop” Warner, the Stan ford coach, who was for so long a time the coach of the fam ous Carlisle teams. Mr. and Mrs. Strom are at Chemawa at the bedside of their son, Olie. Mr. Fisher will soon contribute his share of the music in the teachers’ cottage as he has ordered a radio. Miss Sadie Seeds was the guest of Miss Houk on Sunday. Miss Seeds is employed by the Pickwick Stage Company in Portland. It was learned by letter that Supt. and Mrs. Charles L. Davis are contemplating a visit to the Pacific Coast and as far north as Seattle in November. Their many friends at Chemawa will be disappointed if they pass Chemawa without stopping.

The Excelsior Literary Society held their regular meeting in room seven of the school building on Fri day evening, Oct. 15, 1926.

It was unanimously voted to send good wishes in the form of a bouquet to Olie Strom. After giving yells for the visitors, and the critic’s report, the society adjourned.
