LIPPS - - - - Superintendent 50 Cts PER ANNUM SUBSCRIPTION ATHLETIC NOTES In the beginning of the season our basketball out look was anything but bright because of the absence of verterans, especially forwards. Yet the team developed into a formidable aggregation before the season closed and won 10 of the 17 games played. Their playing appeared to be inconsistent at times, but that is always to be expected with new men. El dred George came to the front and was a consistent shot until he hurt his knee rather early in the season, which hampered his playing considerably. Yet he was our high point man, with a total of 123 points to his credit. Jesse Prettyman, playing his first year as a regular, was easily the most outstanding of the new players. Jesse’s speed, coupled with good floor work and basket shooting, will make him one of our main stays next year. Jesse ran Eldred a close race for high point honors, with a total of 113 points. James Spencer, another of the new men, proved to be a real find as a guard. Jim had uncanny ability in inter cepting passes and blocking shots to the basket because of his height and long reach. Jim is also somewhat of a basket-shooter and in another year will be a valu able player. Following are the season’s scores: Chemawa 18 Salem Athenians 22 Chemawa 53 Dallas Legion Co.

They started late, but in spite of that fact played more games than ever. They played 12 games, won six, tied one, and lost five. A very creditable showing. Their playing, like the boys, was at times inconsistent, due to a comparative ly new team. But when right they played the snap piest passing and shooting game ever seen. Alma Morrigeauwon high-point honors for the girls with a total of 85 points. Clarinda Quenel was second with 80. Following are their scores: 20 Chemawa 19 Scio High School Chemawa 21 Scio High School 17 Chemawa 27 Linfield College 15 31 Chemawa 12 Independence High 10 Chemawa 15 Linfield College Chemawa 19 Molalla High School 19 8 Chemawa 23 Independence High Chemawa 12 Molalla High School 16 21 Chemawa 31 Reed College Chemawa 21 St. Paul High School 22 8 Chemawa 38 Reed College Chemawa 10 St. Paul High School 24 Opponents 211 Total 248 Our wrestling team enjoyed the most successful sea son of all. Our grapplers engaged in six matches and won them all, with the exception of the first match with Oregon City which ended a tie. However, that match found our boys with but a week’s preparation. The return match with the same team, which came toward the end of the season, found our team in shape and the 88 to 11 score in our favor marks the improve ment our boys made during the course of the season. Tom Anayah proved to be our most effective grap- pler in his weight and won high-point honors with a total of 80. Captain Bill Johnson, though he did not enter the last match, won second place with 67 points. Following are the season’s scores: Chemawa 103 Benson Tech 55 Chemawa 51 Oregon City High 51 Chemawa 75 Corvallis High School 71 Chemawa 70 Corvallis High School 30 Chemawa 88 Oregon City High 11 Chemawa 65 Oregon Normal School 35 Total 452 Opponents 253 A note just received from Willamette University reads as follows: With every promise of being an out standing quarterback in the Northwest Conference, Charles DePoe, of Chemawa, is being watched care fully by Coach “Spec” Keene, who is counting strong ly on DePoe as an important factor in his football line up for next yeat. DePoe, not content with making his letter in one major sport, has e irned a place as second baseman on the varsity baseball team, and is busily warming up for the first game of the season.
