ATHLETIC NOTES
50 Cts per Annum
George Little Light, Francis Ross and William Wall,
comprising our 880 relay team won third place in that
event.
Saturday several of our track men will be entered in
the state track and field meet, sponsored by Oregon
State College at Corvallis. The entries have not been
made as yet but it is expected that George Meachem
will be entered in the shot and discus events in which
he should make a strong bid for championship honors.
George has repeatedly out-distanced the state records in
these events this spring. John Frenier should win the
880 yard run and if he does he will have made good
his promise to win all his races this spring. A num­
ber of folks took that remark with a grain of salt w’hen
it was made but John’s performances have proved be­
yond all doubt that it was not idly made. Our medley
runnerswill no doubt throw a scare into the team that
beats them if that can be done. They have already de­
feated the supposedly best team in the state at the relay
carnival at Vancouver. Frenier, Wall, Oliver and
Little Light ran that race in exceptional time.
Last Tuesdav afternoon our baseball team brought
home the long end of the score in the game wuth Par­
rish high in Salem. Al Goudy did the twirling for our
team and kept the Parrish hits scattered well enough
to keep them on the short end of the score. He allowed
eleven hits and struck out seven batters. Sedigan,
pitching for Parrish is credited w’ith eight strike-outs
and was found for nine hits.
The lack of being able to hit in the pinches is still
in evidence though much improved over previous
games. Several men were left to die on bases but not
on account of a strike-out as was the case earlier in
the season. Our batters are hitting the ball but as yet
not safe. Eldred George was our most consistent
hitter in this game. Out of four times to bat he made
three hits. On his fourth attempt he wras put out on
a long fly to center field. Marcus Simmons made two
runs for individual honors.
Marcus made one hit,
walked once and was put out tw’ice by fly balls. James
McKay, like the rest, is becoming more effective with
the bat each game. Jim takes an all powerful cut at
the ball and wThen he hits he hits, thats all. In the
sixth inning he drove a fast one down to short that
was too hot to handle and a bad throw was made to
first that was muffed and Jim continued to circle the
bases as the fumbling act was repeated and he was
put out at home mainly because of a misinterpreted
ground rule. Alonzo Hoover is also becoming al­
most a sure hitter. He has been meeting the ball
squarely on the nose lately but also squarely into some-
ones hands.
At any rate the boys are coming along
nicety and just as soon as they get past a few more
games they will be able to furnish pretty stiff compe­
tition for the most of them.
Either on Thursday or Friday w’e will play West
Lynn here and on the thirteenth the Grand Ronde
Indians w’ill play here. These two games should be
full of interest to all. West Lynn has a fast and hard
hitting team and Grand Ronde is always colorful.
These two games will mark the close of our schedule.
Chemawa 50-Salem Y. M. C. A. 49 was the result
of the nip and tuck track meet held here last Wednes­
day afternoon. In spite of the fact that both teams
grabbed all three places in certain events those races
were as close as the final score. For instance the “Y”
took first, second and third in the hundred yard dash,
yet it was only a matter of inches that separted the
first half dozen men.
John Frenier was about the
only athlete who had his race well tucked away.
As
per usual John broke into the 880-yard run like he was
running the hundred and changed his gait only when he
started to sprint the last couple hundred yards. Joe
Middle Rider took second place.
Joe is about as
short as John is long but he runs a pretty race.
Joe
is likely to develop into an able successor to his cap­
tain in the middle distance events. James Oliver won
third place in the 220. So far Jim has not been able'
to get above third place in that event all season.
He
has been trying hard but some one always beats him
by the proverbial “nose.” Our shot putters had a big
day and won all three places. George Meachem made
a nice heave that put him well out in front and he won
first place. Ernest Brunoe took second and Benny
Charley third. George Nicholson and Claude Parazoo
took first and third places respectively in the mile run.
The high jump was a tie event.
Alfred Bernard
cleared the bar nicely but a knuckle ticked and off
came some of his hide as well as the bar so he divided
first honors as well as points with Isaac Braveagle of
our team and Paige of the “Y.” Perrins of the “Y”
took the Pole Vault, Charles Morgan, second: Albert
Miller third.
Albert Miller gives promise of being a
very valuable athlete here. He is a polevalter, broad
jumper, sprinter and does exceedingly well with the
weights. He plays basketball and football. Though
this is his first year on either of these squads he shows
marked possibilities. George Meachem won the dis­
cus; Willie Demmert took third.
The broad jump
was won by William Wall. James Oliver took second.
Paige of the “Y” took third. Clifford was our only
entry to place in the javelin.
He won third place.
William Wall took third in the 440 yard dash.
Last Saturday seven of our boys were entered in Wil­
lamette Valley Championship meet at Oregon State
College. John Frenier won the 880 yard run hands
down. George Meachem contented himself with sec­
ond place in the shot and discus events. Alfred
Bernard accompanied the boys as a spectator but on
Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Mason and Mrs. Rose Downie
his arrival was entered in the high jump and took
second place and once again James Oliver brought journeyed to Portland last Saturday on a shopping
tour.
home third place in the 220 yard dash. James Oliver,
