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.

Our girls enjoyed one of the best basketball seasons
they have ever had. 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.

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.

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.
