Page 4 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN CHAPEL DEDICATED (Continued from page 3) hall. With its colorful linoleum floor and matching drapes, folding chairs and piano, it is now adequately equipped for its new purpose. The old "sitting room’ ’ has been transformed into a Y. W. C. A. room and with its new rugs and wicker furniture it is becoming an attractive home for the Y. W. girls. A smaller room in the back of the building has been devoted to the various boys’ clubs and has been fur nished appropriately. Funds for the refurnishing and equipment have come from various sources, the largest gift being that of the Board of National Missions in New York. Other gifts have come from many friends in Oregon and Cali fornia. . By ROSALIA GROUNDS . Chemawa Student * JLJIEUTENANT Wilkinson came to Oregon— Found the Indian need new knowledge, Build big school in Willamette Valley, Just same white man’s heap big college. ▼ V Indians hear ’bout big school tepee, Down in valley. So they say, “We send boys and girls—learn something— Humph—well—maybe so, someday.” V ¥ Indians come from all directions, From Montana, the land of Crow, From Idaho, Washington, California, And from that hot New Mexico! First the Indian get much homesick, Too much books and too much rules, Want go back to lodge and blankets— No like 'em any Pale Face” schools! White Chief say, “ No get discouraged.” Some day he give out “sheepskin.” “Humph! Got sheep ranch in Montana, Make us want go home again.” ▼ V When “Mating Moon” shines bright in valley, Braves steal maidens’ hearts away, Some go home and then they marry— The rest want knowledge—so they stay. ▼ ▼ Twelve “Great Suns” pass since we come here, Few drop out—Few new come in, We fight on, all way thru, bravely, Now we want 'em—Big Sheepskin! ATHLETICS “HOT SHOTS” WIN GAME At last our "Hotshots’’ got a chance to show their stuff and last Saturday afternoon gloriously whipped the second team from West Lynn high school here 27 to 0. The entire team played a scrappy game of ball all the way through. Their lines charged so savagely that West Lynn was not allowed even one first down. Our hotshots have been bumped and flopped around all season by our first team and were tickled with the op portunity to battle someone on equal terms, and they did. They were so eager and anxious to stop their opponents that it seems they must have been penalized a hundred yards for off-side play. In the third quarter, with the ball near the opponents’ goal line, they were penalized three times in succession but each time ram bled through the line or around the end over the ad ditional five yards to a touchdown. The final penalty robbed them of the score. In spite of the multitude of set-backs the hot ones never lost their pep, but kept smilingly and enthusiastically at it. "Lindy’’ Dumont, a flyweight guard, was to be found somewhere on or near the ball carrier in every play. Joe Ball, our other guard, was also tangled up with him somehow. Nothing could be gained by bucking our two tackles, George Thompson and Harry Archambeau. They were the big stones in our stone wall. While all our backs carried the ball for considerable yardage, Howard Churchill and John Trottier, right and left halfback respectively, did most of the flash end running and line bucking. Churchill scored three touchdowns. Two by pretty, long runs through the vis itors’ defense and the other by a nicely executed forward pass from the mitt of Hans Jack. Clarence Weaver and Hans Jack alternated at quarter and whatever they chose to try went over big. Our line-up: Andrew Whiterock, Ben Palmer and Ferdinand Thomas, ends; George Thompson and Harry Archambeau, tackles; Joe Ball, Frank Dumont and Philip Belgarde, guards; Robert Perkins, center; Hans Jack and Clarence Wea ver, quarterbacks; John Trottier, Howard Churchill and George Motchman, halfbacks; Alex Gouley and Claude Parazoo, fullbacks. Friday our first team will go to Portland to play Columbia high. On Armistice Day we play Cottage Grove and on the 16th Albany high comes here. On Thanksgiving Day we battle Salem high at Salem. This week the class games continue when the seniors meet the freshmen. The defeated team in this game might just as well count itself out of the running for the class championship. Only one thing would re main for them and that would be to place a few men on the All-Star team that meets the Hotshots at the end of the season.
