Page 4 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN will have many at the home-coming we don’t know, but all hands are invited to see the team in action on the 16th of this month when we play Albany high school. Albany has one of the snappiest and trickiest teams we have seen this season. It is sure to be a battle. CHEMAWA SO, COLUMBIA 0 Our football team got “hot” last Friday afternoon and defeated the Columbia University preppers at Port land 30 to 0. From the very first kick-off our braves waltzed the ball down the field in a fashion we loved to see. The linemen ripped and tore into their op ponents in a way that opened up grand avenues for our backs to go parading through. Yet it wasn’t the cinch the score would indicate for the hilltoppers were willing to give all but dear life to stop the driving at tack of our eleven, but their efforts were in vain though they battled furiously. Eleven men snapped and cracked into every play with the speed and force of a streak of lightning and every streak brought results. In all, our team crossed the Columbia goal line eight times, three of which the ball was called back on account of penalties. On the defense the team was just as tough. They either jamed everything tight into the center or smothered the ball carrier back of the line for a loss and allowed the preppers only one first down. Dowd Franklin, Roy Meachem and Wallace Hosie sparkled brilliantly in carrying the ball, and about in the order mentioned. Our first touchdown was scored on a pretty pass from Julian Smith to Joe Alexander. “Buck” shot the ball like a bullet and Joe took it out of the air with the grace and ease of a big leaguer. The try for point failed as did all our other points to con vert. Dowd Franklin’s runs to the goal line were pret ty and ranged from fifteen to forty-five yards per run. In all he made five touchdowns, but two were disal lowed because of penalties. Hosie also scored early in the first quarter on a wide sweeping end run after a rap id march down the field, but someone was said to be holding so the ball was again brought back. There was never any doubt about the outcome after the first few minutes ot play. Columbia had beaten our team a year ago 13 to 6 and these boys were out to gain back that loss. Isaac Curley punished the ball something terrible in this game. His first kick went but a scant nine yards, but from then on he outkicked anyone we have seen this season. The following boys partici pated in the game: Joe Alexander, Benny Bear and George McGriff, ends; James McKay and William Jones, tackles; Isaac Curley, George Little Light and Joe Ball, guards; David Little Swallow, center; Julian Smith, quarterback; Dowd Franklin, Wallace Hosie and Warren Wilder, halfbacks; and Roy Meachem, fullback. The seniors and the freshmen battled to a 6 to 6 tie game here last week in the toughest class league game played this season. . . . Who is your All-star man? It is just about time you were getting a line on him. It will be up to these boys to lick the Hotshots just about Thanksgiving time. ... At present it looks like the team will play at Myrtle Point on Armistice Day.......................... We are going to have a “Home Coming” game all our own which is to act as a forerunner to the school’s birthday. Whether we SENIOR NOTES By CHARLES MORGAN We are glad to see the Senior and Junior nurses wearing uniforms. The carpenters have most of the outside work com pleted. It will be finished before the heavy rains set in. Miss Hilda Jackson, formerly of the class of ’30, is now attending Business College in Aberdeen, Wash ington. The Senior class are few in number but they seem to have the pep. They are planning for a Christmas all-talking-singing play. The Seniors are all proud of Lillian Hayden, the high honor student of the school. We all hope she will keep the place throughout the year. George Jackson, our former classmate, is in the army at Panama. He is in the fourth infantry band, and besides is running a tailor shop and doing well. Nowhere on the campus can you find a busier crew than the engineers. They are cleaning up all rubbish, bricks and iron and are putting forth lots of effort in getting things in order. Mr. Kunkel’s detail of plumbers have been quite busy recharging and repairingthe fire extinguishers for vari ous buildings on the campus. Some attractive signs have been placed for the Domestic Science, Wigwam, and Winona Hall, so take notice. One of the relics of the school, the old Ford truck, carrying students, orchestra and choir to Salem and way points, has been remodeled, being made into a trash wagon, and is now busy hauling fallen leaves from the campus. The work was done by the auto mechanics under George Berry. ESCORTS - - - Miss Earlougher ----- Mr. James Mrs. James Winona....................... Mr. Larsen Mrs. Bent Hawley.......................
