Two weeks ago officials from Chem awa applied for m em ber
ship in th e O regon H ig h School A thletic Association. L ast
w eek a le tte r was received from th e secretary, R oy E . Cannon,
S u p e rin te n d en t of Schools of M ultnom ah County, sta tin g th a t
th e B oard of C ontrol had unanim ously voted us perm ission to
join th e association on th e sam e footing as o th er h ig h schools.
To all w ho are in te rested in th e fu tu re w elfare of our athletes,
th is is very gratifying. T he stan d ard s set by th e state associ
ation are fair an d ju st a n d we w ill have a b e tte r bran d of a th
letics by living up to them .
It is with considerable pride that we announce that
Chemawa has just been unanimously elected a member
of the Oregon High School Association. This calls to
mind a remark made by Superintendent Eipps about a
year ago, at the annual football banquet, that he thought
it about time Chemawa applied for admittance in the
High School Athletic Association where it rightfully
belonged and where our teams would have some degree
of dignity about them. At the time the goal seemed a
long way off and one only to be hoped for but never to
be attained. However the seed was sown and our ap
plication made. Then followed a long period of anx
ious waiting, and, needless to say, we have been much
concerned about the outcome. Late last week Mr.
Carroll, our assistant superintendent and principal, was
officially notified by the High School Board of Control
that Chemawa was admitted.
To our students, and others as well, our admission
into this association means much. It means our boys
and girls will have a new field to explore, new ideals
and standards to maintain, and that their perfection in
athletics will have an added value. However, there
are strict rules that govern the action of the members
of this association like there are that govern any
successful organization, or institution, and there are
times when we are apt to feel the effect of those rules,
but the value received will far surpass the price to be
paid.
Functioning in every department like a veteran
organization our team defeated West Eynn high last
Friday before its Home Coming crowd 23 to 0. Three
touchdowns, three converted tries for extra points,
and a safty, accounts for our score.
Alfred Bernard, Clifford Meachem, George Mea-
chem, Ernest Brunoe and James Oliver, all seniors
and playing their last game for Chemawa, turned in a
real afternoon’s work. Bernard not only kept the
defense guessing with his well-planned attack, but was
one of the star ball-carriers for Chemawa. From
punt formation he dashed through the weak side of the
line, with Brunoe and George Meachem paving the
way, for repeated gains from five to thirty-five yards.
Clifford Meachem played the best game of his career.
In fullback position he figured prominently in every
play. He took the ball through the line and off tackle
for consistent yardage and was repeatedly tackled after
faking into the line. Needless to say, his faking was
realistic, as it would have to be in order to be tackled
for the ball carrier. A twenty-yard pass and a twenty-
yard run made and completed by the Meachem brothers
accounted for our first touchdown. Clifford was on
the passing end of our three extra points. Two of
them were completed by Warren Wilder and the other
by Eldred George. His punting was an added feature.
They were not only well directed but averaged 35 yards
per boot.
Our linemen were like dynamite in West Eynn’s
attacks. Captain Roy Peratrovich and Ernest Brunoe,
tackles; Joe Peratrovich and Isaac Curley, guards;
Eldred George, center; George Meachem and Joe
Alexander, ends; were through the enemy line and
smearing things up in general all afternoon and not
even one first down from scrimmage did they allow
during the entire game. On the offense their work
was just as effective and our backs went crashing
through their openings with speed and power.
A latteral pass off of a forward pass was the feature
play of the game. From James Oliver to Eldred George
to George Meachem the ball darted through the air and
repeatedly ended up in Meachem’s arms and carried
for big yardage. It is a spectacular play and the crowd
called for it again and again and it never failed to work.
Tomorrow the big tussle of the season will be played
right here on the home field. The class All-Stars will
match their wits as well as their strength against the
“ Hot Shots,” and what a game it will be! There will
be sixty minutes just chuck full of fight and action.
While the bets are about even, or pie for pie, some are
inclined to give the “ Stars” a very slight advantage.
Fee Wilson, the “ Hot Shot” mentor, is somewhat
nervous and reluctantly announced his line-up:

Basketball is already claiming the attention of many
and before the week is over all will be converted into
basketball instead of football players. Class teams are
all organized and several games have been played. For
the next two weeks they will be doing their best to fur
nish the material for our first team.
