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

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.
