LIPPS SUBSCRIPTION - - - - Superintendent 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES Although there are reports to the contrary, Colum bia University was quite well entertained by our football team in Portland last Friday. The score 27 to 12 against us gave some the impression that every thing was in Columbia’s favor and that they had little, if any, trouble collecting the 27 markers. We want to admit that the best team won, and what is more, they extended themselves in doing it. Our line played a fine game almost to a man and held Columbia consistently until the close of the game. Columbia’s line plays and end runs were checked by the good work of our forward wall. On the other hand, it appeared that our backfield was having a day off. Their offense was not effective, their tackling was poor, and their checking on forward passes was bad, so Columbia succeeded in completing several nice forward passes in the first half, two of which re sulted in touchdowns. However, in the second half the backfield functioned with a little more accuracy. They tackled with fierceness, they allowed but few passes to be completed, and their offense registered them two touchdowns. Bill Johnson, who replaced Solomon Fleury at left half, made the first score and Lawrence Pratt scored the second. Both attempts to kick the goal failed. Our lineup follows: Eldred George, George Meach- em, ends; Roy Peratrovich, Joe Webster, tackles; Edward Walker, Joe Peratrovich, guards; Percy Roush, center; Jake Atkins, quarterback; Lawrence Pratt, Solomon Fleury, halfbacks; Peter Cimino, full back. Substitutions: Isaac Curley, guard; Cecil Stag- ner, center; Tom Bad Bear, guard; Bill Johnson, Robert Archambault; halfbacks. Peter Rassmussen, a tall, lanky lineman, is a veteran we are glad to see return. Peter is late getting back, but nevertheless he will strengthen our line consider ably. Next Friday the team goes to Corvallis to play the Oregon Agricultural College Rooks. The Rooks al ways have about four teams to throw against us so the outlook is never too good. However, the team is preparing to give the yearlings a real battle. Just how much of a scare we gave them will be told later. Coquille Thompson, our trippie threat man for the past two years, and a good one, too, and who is now attending the state college at Corvallis and incidental ly a member of the Rook squad, spent the week-end with friends here. In connection with the Rook squad he said they have two tackles who wTeigh well over 200 pounds. We can readily see that there is a good day’s work cut out for our ends when this game comes off. Two more games are booked up to be played here. The first one on October 29th against Corvallis high school. And the second against Linfield College. Linfield is a strong member of the Northwest Con ference, so our biggest gun will be loaded for this game. It should be a thriller and we hope to have every man and everything in tip-top shape for the fray. Linfield licked Columbia 19 to 0, so it will give us an opportunity to see just what the team can do when it functions properly. The junior and freshmen classes will play this week. Referee, Jake Atkins; umpire, Eldred George; headlinesman, Lawrence Pratt. LOCAL J. J. Spencer, class of ’22, is now at White Salmon, Wash., and writes to us extending good wishes to all of his Chemawa friends. Mrs. Georgiana Woods is again able to be about, following quite a severe accident in the laundry re cently, in which she was the victim. Last Wednesday Rachel Tanner, Frances Tanner and Elizabeth Codding arrived from Marshfield, Ore gon, where they spent their summer vacation. Rachel is a senior, Elizabeth a junior and Frances a sophomore. Mr. Klein spoke to both assemblies on Wednesday, his subject being atmospheric conditions and weather. A mixed chorus sang Pacholbels Hymn and the student body sang “Columbia The Gem of the Ocean,” as it was Columbus Day. The Y. M. C. A. held a meeting in the ”Y” room last Sunday evening. Mr. Reddy of Salem gave an interesting talk on his trip to Europe last summer. His subject was, “The Y. M. C. A. in the other countries.” He showed some pictures that were very interesting. Mrs. Chester McCarty, nee Julia Gromoff, has been a visitor at the school for several days recently while her husband was in Southern Oregon on a deer hunt. Chemawa takes great pride in Mrs. McCarty, as she has ever proved herself one of the “very best” from her girlhood days to the present.
