Of last year’s team Roy Peratrovich, guard, and
Eldred George, forward, are the only ones on hand to
claim their jobs and they are working hard. Ronald
LeaSke is the most likely candidate at center although
there are others who will give him plenty of com
petition once they get started. Isaac Curley is one of
them. Isaac Braveagle, who came here this year from
Pierre, South Dakota, is the other forward who will
likely be used in the first game. Isaac looks good
and will fit nicely into our team if he learns how to
teamwork. Clifford Meachem is the fifth man. Just
at present he and Braveagle are being switched from
forward to guard and from guard to forward in an ef

forward, from last year, is working out, but like
Curley, Levi Frank, Jesse Kipp, are among those who
will not be able to get into the game until after Jan

Marcus, are both assets, but like the others are not
available until January. What we lack in experience
will be made up in quantity and willingness to work.
Our first game will be played about the fifteenth and
from then until the first of March we will average
about a game a week. Unlike our football schedule,
the most of our games will be played at home. A

LOCAL
A letter just received from Emily Ivanoff member of
the class of 1928, who is teaching at Kotzebue, Alaska,
states that she is greatly -enjoying her work and that
she appreciates very much the opportunities and ad
vantages which Chemawa has given her.
Miss Minerva Mecum, of the class of 1911, paid her
alma mater a visit during the past week for the first
time in seventeen years. She is now a linotype oper
ator and is employed on The. Salem Statesman. She
is getting along nicely in every way/' We old-timers
were glad to see her.
Robt. Peratrovich, a graduate of Chemawa but now
a junior at the University, of Washington in Seattle,
was a week-end visitor. Robert is making his grades
nicely, he says, even though his course is a stiff one.
He is a member of the university band and had the
pleasure of a trip to California with that musical or
ganization not long ago when their football team jour
neyed south. He is the prossessor of a new Durant
Six, which he declares to be a “ bear” on hills, and
he had motored down here. Robert will most likely
be here on another visit during the Christmas holi
days.
