ATHLETIC NOTES
Our team had no difficulty in romping away with a
45-to-6 victory over the Conwell-Mullen eleven here
on Armistice Day. Captain Fleury and Lawrence
Pratt raced around the ends on reverse plays for repeat
ed long gains, while Peter Cimino, fullback, crashed
through the line for good yardage and our first two
touchdowns. The visitors tried gallantly to find a
weakness somewhere in our line, but were repeatedly
thrown for losses. But it must be added here, though
they were outweighed and succeeded but little in gain
ing ground, they fought hard and gamely until the fin
al whistle.
After the first few minutes of play our “Hot Shots”
took the field, and we dare say the youngsters did
themselves proud. They played a snappy brand of
football and defended their goal well and also scored
a couple of touchdowns before the half closed. “Buck”
Smith generaled the new crew nicely and selected the
right play at the right time. He used the spinner
play to good advantage and broke away for several
nice runs. The Meachem brothers, Clifford and
George, playing the end positions, tucked away a num
ber of passes for long gains. Quarterback Atkins was
more accurate with his passes than at any time this
season. They were just right. Jake has been nurs
ing an injured arm since early in the season and is
just now recovering; that has hampered his passing
until now.
“One Rush” Stagner received the call to start the
game at the pivot position. His passing was almost
flawless and his defensive work was good. He follow
ed the ball better than any center we have watched
this season. Wherever you saw the ball you saw
Cecil. He was a regular “ball hawk.” Peter Rass-
mussen and Ernest Brunoe, tackles, and Roy and Joe
Peratrovich, guards, were continually toppling over
their opponents and downing the ball carrier back of
the line. However, this did not dampen the visitors’
fighting spirit which gained for them the lone touch
down credited to their account. With the ball almost
on their goal line our team fumbled and the Portland
ers scooped it up and raced 92 yards for their lone
score.
If all works out as Manager George W. Bent is try
ing to arrange it our squad will have a busy time
Saturday. He is negotiating to send the varsity
against Linfield College at McMinnville and the “Hot
Shots” to Albany to entertain Albany College. Lin
field is one of the trickiest aggregations in the North
west Conference and it will mean 60 minutes of fight
if our team makes the grade. Last year, with our
entire backfield out on account of injuries, we man
aged to hold Linfield to a 13-to-6 score. What they
do this year will depend somewhat on the effect the
game Saturday had on them. Over-confidence will
have had a chance to creep in, and then, of course, if
it worked like we hope it hasn’t, the team is apt to be
taken greatly by surprise and naturally beaten. But
on the other hand, by shear hard work and hustle the
team should reverse the surprise. At any rate the
boys are anxious to try Linfield. They held Willam
ette University to a 6-6 score and believe they can do
better than that against Linfield.
The class championship game between the Juniors
and Seniors has been continually postponed on ac
count of the weather. Not that either of these two
aggregations is afraid of the mud, for such is not the
case, but solely because so many are interested in the
outcome of this affair that we are waiting for a good
day to play this important game. The Juniors have
won the championship for two years now and have
only to win the title this year to be the rightful owners
of the beautiful silver loving cup that is presented to
the team that wins it for three consecutive seasons.
NONPAREIL OPEN SESSION
The Nonpareil Literary Society gave the following
program in their usual excellent way. It was an
Armistice Day Program. Every number was excel
lent, and Carmen Chamberlain and Grace Monson
were artists in their little sketch. Miss White, the ad
visor of the Nonpareils, may well be proud of the
excellent program given at the Society’s annual open
session. Cleo Plasteur is president of the Nonpar
eils and presided with dignity and ease:
