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.

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.

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.
