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.
