Page 4 The CHEM A W A AM ERICAN Today Franklin high comes here for a return game. They, tq b k us on in a very close game, at Portland some three weeks ago. On Friday both the boys’ and girls’ teams go, to W est Lynp to play. C H E S U W A C O N T IN U E S L O SIN G S T R E A K ; It is hard, to imagine a one-sided game th at ends in a close score. And it is hard to imagine a close g^me tjiat ends in a one-sided score. Yet th at is exactly w hat happened in our game with the “University of Oregon Freshmen at Eugene last Monday afternoon. T h e 47 to 25 score against us would indicate a Walk- away, but th at was not the case. U. of O .’s All-State Freshm en excelled in shooting baskets, but if there Was, a difference in their offensive and défensive' play in g th e division line was so finely d rà w n it was hardly noticeable. Our five fell down on the close-in shots. K 'th o se who started the game were: Jesse Prettym an and Marcus Simmons, for wards;', John Marsden cen ter; Isaac Curley and Leonard Vivette, guards. Later d-lbert Miller replaced Simmons and W illiam Jones celi-eved John M arsden. All. showed improvment over previous games, But th e Freshmen, w ith their wealth of material, were able to m aintain a heavy pace that proved a big advantage to them in the closing m inutes of the game. On Wednesday evening we dropped both games to W oodburn high at W oodburn. ÔUr “ A ” team was. (¿k en down the' line 25 to 23 and our “ B ” ’ team was fum b led 27 to 15. Both were hard pills to swallow because both of our teams had stubbornly fought their way up from the bottom to command the, lead at the., cyad of the. third quarter and bid fair to come home w ith th e heavy end of the score. T he boyS in the “ B ’ ’ team seemed; to have become lost all at bnce and froze in (fceir tracks while th e W oodburn five sm ootheredthem spith a. d rift of baskets, Late in the fourth quarter our first five seemed to liave th e game pretty well sewed up with a 23 to 18. ¿ a d over theft? apparently subdued apponenfé. But here ou-P somewhat fagged-out hoopers made th e mis>’ ¿ k e of calling time and attem pted to play the “ stal lin g ” gante, which a Chemawa team has never done, ¿jsoodburn scored a basket and immediately the tide tu rn ed . T hose (subdued) boys storm ed thebasket for e n o u g h c o u n te rs; to p u t them on top when thé final whistle blew. However our team played a splendid gam e and, deserve much credit for the way they per form ed. Only two regulars were in the liné-ùp. T h e rest were ineligible. Those boys should know fey now th at “ if they dance they must pay the fid d le r,” or th at the price to. play ip passing grades and. that ex c ise s don’t count. T hough our w restling team has been out but a sh o rt while they threw à terrible scsire into the team Of Oregon City high last Wednesday evening when th ey held that team to the close score of 60 to 52. Coach Sanders is confident of victory when the re tu r n engagement is staged here. Peter McClusky and George Nicholson had little difficulty w inning Over their opponents and though George and Lee (Pepion worked a little longer th ey were masters of th e ir task and also. won. F rank Dumont, T erry Gpurtney and; Louis Baker were rolled, over for tins, count. BO Y SCOUTS “ W hoopee” —Pack up your troubles in your Old kit-bag àhd smïlè.
