Chemawa Defeats Willamette’s Super-Varsity
Captain Fleury’s sensational 70-yard run to a touchdown in
thé early part of the third quarter paved the way to a 13 to 0
victory over Willamette University’s Super-Varsity here last
Saturday afternoon. Throughout the first half the game was
just about as even as one could be, with Chemawa a little
stronger on the offense and a like advantage in Willamette’s
favor in the forward passing attack. There was much see
sawing back and forth in the center of the field until the end
of the half.
Captain Fleury started a victory march with his long run.
Soon after Fleury’s dash across the chalk line Lawrence
Pratt drove through the line and eluded the secondary tacklers
and past the safety for a pretty 45-yard run and our second
touchdown. Fleury converted the goal kick for an extra point.
Both of these boys were consistent in their gains around the
ends, as was our fullback, Peter Cimino, who netted several
good gains by his line plunges.
Joe and Roy Peratrovich by their fine work at the guard pos
itions inspired their green proteges in the line to play like
veterans.
Percy Roush, center, from Pierre, South Dakota, and Jake
Atkins, veteran quarterback, did not start the game, but their
entrance into it had a telling effect. However, they have able
understudies in Cecil Stagner and Lee Wilson. Ernest Bru-
noe, a new tackle, played such a good defensive game that he
was almost outstanding. His teammate at right tackle was also
a demon on defense but needs to improve his work on offense
if his side of the line is to have its full power this season.
Eldred George and George Meachem, ends, playing their sec
ond varsity game, looked more promising than ever.
Many of our boys got a chance to work out against Willam
ette and toward the end of the game Bill Johnson and Robert
ArchambeAU, halfbacks, George Weeks, Edward Walker and
Walter Howard, linemen, entered the game.
Friday the team plays Columbia University at Portland.
Columbia will l>e set for -us arid wefre sure of a terriffc struggle
but victory will erase a 12-to-12 tie of two years ago and a
7-to-6 defeat at their hands last year. That ought to make the
boys fight. “Third time is a charm’’ and this year we intend
to win. Fleury may be unable to start in this game l>ecause of
a foot injury received in the Willamette game.
This week the Seniors and Sophomores will play. The
officials: Roy Peratrovich, referee; George Meachem, umpire;
Leander Wilson, headlinesmen.
