; 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.
