IÆPPS SUBSCRIPTION . - . - . - . Superintendent 50 Ots PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES Our girls romped away to another victory against Independence high school here last Tuesday, 23 to 8. The visitors only scored 5 to our 14 points in the first half and 3 to our nine in the second, so never became dangerous at any stage of the game. Clarinda Quenel, was too clever for her guards and rolled up a total of 16 points while her side partner, Alma Morrigeau, who has been our chief scorer for the season, fell before “ lady luck” and could not in duce the ball to drop through the net. She was replaced by Neva Clairmont whose “ dash” and ‘ zip” put life and pep into what had been a listless game. The guarding of Captain Pauline Pratt, and Susie Grounds was even more effective than the score indi cates, allowing but one field goal in each half, the other four points being made by converted foul throws. Martha Packineau, center, and Margaret Maupin, side center, played their usual aggressive game with telling effect. Our baskéteers surprised the natives by defeating Albany College at Albany last Thursday 36 to 26. Jumping into a six point lead at the start of the game the collegians showed considerable offensive power and threatened to whitewash our hoopers and had things pretty mtich their own way until late in the third period when Eldred George, a regular forward who had been nursing an injured knee all week on the sidelines, entered the game to turn the tide and bring the score, just before the half closed, to 15 to 14 in favor of Albany. Jesse Prettyman was the shining light in our offense, and his fast, steady game enabled him to roll up a total of 13 points for high point honors. However, the playing of our entire team, in the second half, was smoothe and fast. Our line-up: Jesse Prettyman, Eldred George, forwards; Peter Rassmussen, center; Roy Peratrovich, James Spencer, guards. On Saturday the conditions were just the reverse. Thè team that played such a fast, clever game the night before crumbled and played a slow, ragged game against the Willamette Freshmen, and lost by the one-sided score 30 to 21. After taking a five-point lead and appearing super ior players in every way the team went on the rocks, never to recover. And the Freshmen, who expected a terrible drubbing, turned out to be the lions instead of the lambs and soundly trounced our terribly over-, confident team. So we say again it is always the supposedly weak team that upsets the dope and to count no game won until it is over and everybody has gone home. Four of our six wrestlers who jaunted over to the Oregon Normal School last Thursday to tackle the teachers came home victorious. Bill Johnson, Tom Anayah, Charles Fagerstrom and Dan Collins were the boys whose fine tactics and aggressiveness proved the undoing of their opponents. Aaron Isaacs and Moses George were toppled over for the count. Coach Sanders took nine men along, but more could not be matched on account of the great difference in weight. East Friday evening our third and junior teams wal loped the Boys’ Reform School team 41 to 21. Ron ald Leaske scored 20 points. Leonard Vivette was his closest competitor tor high point honors with 14. Since the first of the month Jake Atkins and Sol omon Fleury, our veteran catcher and pitcher, have been working out in the gym. This will be the last season for these boys in Chemawa uniforms. Both will graduate in June. They have taken under their care and guidance William McCorkle, Theodore Gil lette and Joseph Alexander, pitchers, and Ray Charles, catcher. There is a time-worn spying that races are won long before they are run. Meaning, of course, that much depends on the training and preparation made for the race. We are to have a five-mile cross-country run here today which only one .man can win, but if all this preparation is to count for anything that one man will certainly be pressed very hard, for many of our boys have been as faithful about conditioning them selves for this race as they have been about attending meals, and that is saying a lot. However, we wish them all luck. Some of tlie favorites who are con ceded a chance to win are: Henry Bowker, senior; Gideon B. Grub, William W$ll, John Frenier, juniors; Fred Mptschman, Robert Perkins, Jim Solomon, Gus Frenier, sophPtnores; Warren Wilder, freshman, Amps Andy, eighth grade. The Sophomore class was in charge of the Wednes day assemblies of last week. The following program was given: Song, “ America the Beautiful,” School; Reading, “ Washington and Lincoln,” Zelma Johnson; Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, Frances Nickols; Questions on Famous Men Born in February, Loraine Jude. In the afternoon. Joseph Alexander, Arnold McKay and Charles Morgan gave the same program.
