THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 2 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon. Please address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager. OSCAR H. LIPPS SUBSCRIPTION Superintendent ... 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES Our basketball season came to a close last Monday evening, a week, when our girls’ sextet and the boys of our Hotshot squad played the high school teams of St. Paul. The two girls’ teams had met earlier in the season and St. Paul emerged the victors in the closing sec onds of the game with a 22 to 21 score. The result of the first contest was a little too close to be comfort able for St. Paul’s hoopers and they started in “high” with the very first tip-off. The closeness of that game let in a ray of hope for our girls and they plunged into the fray with speed. The first half was as close as it was fast and neither team was able to gain more than breathing space between the scores. However, St. Paul’s basket, just before the end of the half, gave them the big end of a 10 to 7 score. With the start of the second half came the sudden conversion of three baskets by the Saints and a slump in the playing of the Chemawa basketeers. From then on St. Paul was never in danger. Their guards checked so closely that our forwards were allowed very little opportunity to get away. In fact, they were allowed to score only one field goal and one foul throw in the second half, but they never let up, and in spite of the score played hard and fast every inch of the way. It was the hard and fast work of St. Paul’s veteran organization that told the tale, which ran something like this: St. Paul 24, Che mawa 10. In the second game of the evening the Hotshots defeated the St. Paul boys 22 to 13. The “Hot Ones” took an early lead and were never headed. Though it was their first game of any consequence this season they played fast and smart basketball throughout. Simon Rankin, one of the several members of our “mosquito fleet” who got into the game, started at guard and his fast, flashy playing was one of the features of the contest. Levi Frank and Leonard Vivette, both members of the same fleet, put them selves much in the limelight by very ably playing the forward positions. Ronald Leaske, center, and Isaac Curley, guard, rounded out the starting line-up. Both played a hard and aggressive game. Ronald won high point honors with ten markers to his credit. Isaac played an exceptionally close checking game. St. Paul was very much enthused over the games that were to be played and a large crowd was in at tendance and a friendly yelling and cheering contest ensued for a period between halves. Royal Holst, one of our cheer leaders, accompanied the teams over and surrounded himself with nearly all of our repre sentatives who were not actually engaged in the game and gave a real peppy example of Chemawa cheering. The spectators’ cry for “more” proved to us that our side won. After the games the St. Paul people proved to us that they could do other things well. We were served a very tasty and wholesome luncheon and every one enjoyed it. On top of that we were extended a most cordjal welcome to come again. We hope to be able to do it.
