ATHLETIC NOTES
Our boys did so well against the O. A. C. Rooks at
Corvallis last week that they looked victorious in de
feat. For sixty minutes they battled the freshmen
almost to a standstill. The continual stream of fresh
men ushered into the game did not affect their morale
nor their spirit, for they carried the “fight” to the
victors every inch of the way and every minute of the
game. The work of our linemen was really a feature
of the game. They charged so fiercely and the back-
field tackled so deadly that the ball carrier usually
stayed “put.” The result was that the Rooks were
often stopped back of the scrimmage line and thrown
for a big loss. The greater part of the first three
periods was played in freshmen territory and early in
the third our team started a goal line march that
looked like a certain touchdown. With Capt. Fleury,
Peter Cimino and Lawrence Pratt carrying the ball
they took it from their 45-yard line to within one foot
of the goal where the Rooks pooled all their strength
and stopped the prettiest and fiercest drive of the
game.
In the closing minutes of the contest the freshmen
made their only touchdown. With time almost spent
and an 0 to 0 score staring them in the face the Rooks
started their only march of the game and scored.
They kicked the goal and the game ended 7 to 0
against us.
Our starting line-up follows:
George Meachem,
left end; Peter Rassmussen, left tackle; Roy Peratro-
vich, left guard; Percy Roush, center; Joe Pentro-
vich, right guard; Ernest Brunoe, right tackle;
Eldred George, right end; Jake Atkins, quarterback;
Solomon Fleury, left half; Peter Cimino, fullback;
Lawrence Pratt, right half. No changes were made
until the last few minutes of the game.
The individual work of each of these boys was out
standing—it had to be in order to stand up against a
squad that outweighed them 18 or 20 pounds to the
man. It would be impossible to point to any one
player and say that he was the star of the game—they
were all stars.
Since the game with Columbia University our line
has been strengthened a great deal. Peter Rassmus
sen is back to fill his position at left tackle, and Peter
does a great big job of it. Ernest Brunoe is playing
right tackle. This is Ernest’s first year on the varsity
but you would never guess it. Both of these boys
stand well over six feet and are comparatively fast and
tough to handle. With the Peratrovich brothers,
Eldred George and George Meachem and Percy Roush
along side of those two tackles we have a personnel in
our forward wall that bids fair to better the best line
we have had in several seasons.
The squad has been drilling hard this week to
defeat Corvallis High here next Saturday. They are
coming to wipe out the 20 to 0 game they lost to us
here a year ago.
On Friday evening we hope to haye a “pep” meet
ing to prepare for the next two games. Both will be
played here. Corvallis next Saturday, and Linfield
College the following Saturday. That which confronts
the cheering section the most now is a cheer leader.
None have as yet been elected officially to that posi
tion for either the boys or girls. This will be done
Friday. It should be remembered that the holders of
these positions are entitled to wear the official “C,”
which is worth striving for.
MARRIED IN ALASKA
We are pleased to reprint the following from the
Oregon Statesman of last Saturday:
Word has been received in Salem of the marriage
of Miss Uinta Kirk and Earle L. Hunter, Jr., which
took place October 19th in Juneau, Alaska.
Mrs. Hunter is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James
E. Kirk of Chemawa. She graduated from Salem
High School and later attended O. A. C.
Mr. Hunter is the son of Captain and Mrs. E. L.
Hunter of the United States Bureau of Fisheries at
Juneau. He was a student at O. A. C. for three
years and is a member of the Sigma Pi fraternity and
also of Alpha Delta Sigma, national advertising frat
ernity.
They will make their home in Juneau where Mr.
Hunter is in business.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Sorensen and family expect
to depart today for Flandreau, S. D., where Mr. Sor
ensen will be chief engineer. These kindly people
have been at Chemawa for a year or two and will
leave many warm friends here whose good wishes will
follow them. Mr. William A. Sherman will take the
position of engineer just vacated by Mr. Sorensen.
Mr. Sherman is from Detroit, Mich., and he is accom
panied to Chemawa by his wife and child. We wel
come them and trust that they will like Chemawa.
