Page 4 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN ETICS HOTSHOTS VICTORIOUS Once more our Hotshots are victorious. This time they paraded up and down the field, through the line and around the ends to the tune of 32 to 0 against the Corvallis high school seconds. Howard Churchill and John Trottier, both speedy little halfbacks, thrilled the crowd with their quick dashes through the line and their many end runs. Alex Gouley and Claude Parazoo alternated at fullback and both plowed and plunged through the Corvallis line for consistent yardage. The line functioned equally as well on defense and offense. So far this season the Hotshots have not permitted their opponents to make anything like consistent yardage through their line and the Armistice Day game was no exception. Corvallis did not make more than three first downs from scrimmage at most. On the very first play Trottier shot through the line and out into the open before the defensive team real ized what it was all about but John is not what is called a broken field runner and was finally brought to earth by the safety. Three times he did the same little stunt and three times the safety made the tackle. But on the fourth attempt John eluded him so nicely that Red Grange could net have done better. Howard Church ill raced across the goal line twice. Each time on a wide sweeping end run which is sweet meat for this speedster. Howard does a pretty good job of cutting in for a youngster. Those who participated in the game are as follows: Andrew Whiterock, Ben Bear, George McGriff, Ferd inand Thomas, ends; George Thompson, Harry Ar- chambeau, tackles; Frank Dumont, Joe Ball, guards; Robert Perkins, center; Hans Jack, Clarence Weaver, quarterbacks; John Trottier, Howard Churchill, half backs; Alex Gouley, Claude Parazoo, fullbacks. After a few days’ rest our first team is back into their togs again and are leaving nothing undone that will put them in the best of shape for their game Saturday with Albany high school which will mark our first Home-Coming game. Many of the nearby ex-students and graduates are planning on being pi es ent to see the final tussle of the season to be played on the home ground. For the first time this season our student body had a chance to show what it could do in the way of organized cheering and under the leadership of Louis Orr and Melba Arnoux did a great big brown job of it. Beginning Monday class basketball will be started for both the boys and girls. Last week the juniors trampled over the sophomores 19 to 0. This week the seniors will play the fresh men. Friday the Hotshots will play Lebanon high school at Lebanon. LOCAL On Monday morning at 10 o’clock our student body and many of the faculty met in the auditorium to ob serve Armistice Day. Principal S. R. Mote was in charge, and he gave a very fine talk, appropriate in every way to the occasion. In addition to the talk of Mr. Mote there was the singing of war songs (peace songs, too) by the student body, Miss Judd sang a special number and did it most artistically, and there was the oath of allegiance repeated by all, salute to colors, taps, etc. Really, there was an impressive lesson given all. A few days ago Mr. Ratzburg, our gardener, ex hibited a monstrous head of cabbage that weighted 23 pounds. The cabbage was of the variety known as the Danish Baldhead and it is of excellent quality. Mr. Ratzburg stated that this particular head was not especially selected for its size as there are many other heads out in the patch that are fully as large or larger. There is a very large crop of cabbage this year and if more than can be used during its season the overplus will be made into saur kraut and in this way it can be kept indefinitely. With the exception of potatoes we have an abundant crop of all kinds of vegetables. Principal Mote has placed the literary societies of the school on a basis which bids fair to be productive of good results. For instance, each society will have a program committee of three members, and the mem bership is divided into eight groups, each group to put on one program in font months. There are four of the teachers appointed to visit and report on the work of the societies during each meeting—the find ings are all to be estimated on a percentage basis and reported to Mr. Mote. After four meetings of the societies the average rating of each society will be as certained and a prize will be awarded the society scor ing the highest. This seems to us to be a splendid plan.
