Members of our first team, coach, manage and of
ficiate the class teams and games and are doing a good
clean job of it all.
CHEMAWA LOSES TO O. S. 0. ROOKS
Forty-four to 0 marks the trouncing our team was
handed by the Oregon state rooks at Corvallis last
Friday evening under the arc lights. Except for a
single quarter, the second, our team played a much
better defensive game than the score would lead one
to believe. In that wild session a couple of rooks
grabbed a punt and circled our left end three times
and each one ended up in a dash across the goal line
and not a single run was under the fifty-yard mark.
In neither instance did they go unmolested for there
were eleven desperate tacklers on their trail, but those
boys burned up the ground too rapidly. In the first,
third and fourth quarters they were not so slippery
and our team forced the rooks to extend themselves
to score.
Our boys came home with a great deal more than
the short end of the score and a few minor bruises and
injuries. It was the first taste of real football for all
but a handful, and they were initiated in no mild
fashion. The first rush left unsuspecting players
scattered all over the field. There are things too nu
merous to mention about football that seem to come
only through actually playing the game and on Friday
our footballers learned the most important fundamental
of all, that a half-hearted attempt to execute an assign
ment will never do. To win one must extend him
self to the limit.
Albert Miller, left end; William Jones, left tackle;
Fred Sandberg, center; Roy Meachem, fullback; War
ren Wilder, right half; Wallace Hosie, left half, and
Charles Motschman stood out in some department of
the game. The first four mentioned were especially
effective on the defense and Roy Meachem figured in
both. Though there were but few holes opened for
him he still drove his way through and only once was
he held for no gain. Charles Motschman got his
kicks off quickly but in most cases too low, and they
were returned too far.
On either Friday or Saturday afternoon of this week
we expect to play the Willamette University Reserves
here. Since the rook game all candidates have been
hard at work perfecting plays and getting the habit
of “driving in” and we hope to see a big change in
our attack in this game.
Last week the freshmen and sophomore football
teams rolled back the curtain in the first game of the
season for the inter-class championship. For four
full quarters they battled up and down the field in a
game that was not wanting for thrills and when the
final whistle blew the ball was almost in the dead center
of the field and the score 0 to 0.
Peter McClusky, fullback for the sophomores, and
Elmer Kalama, halfback for the freshmen, were the
chief ball carriers of the game. Both registered sever
al nice runs, but then they were checked later by two
charging lines that smoothered their attempts when
they reached the scoring zone.
“CHIEF” BENDER AT CARLISLE
After an absence of 27 years “Chief” Bender, ac
companied by his wife, returned to Carlisle where he
had been a student at the famous Indian school and
where he began his notable career. His home-coming
was in every sense a triumph and of such a nature
that it should have warmed the heart of this splendid
man and athlete. We have not space to tell the whole
story, but are pleased to reprint a brief talk made in
honor of “Chief” Bender by State Senator Leon C.
Prince, as follow’s:
Every towm, great or small, shines in the reflected
glory of celebrated persons or events asssociated with
its history. Carlisle boasts the prison of Major Andre,
the birthplace of General Armstrong, the ancestral
home of James G. Blaine, the burial ground of Molly
Pitcher and the school house of Chief Bender.
There is an ancient feud between his people and ours.
But if the wrhite man conquered the red man with the
rifle-ball, the red man has conquered the white man
with the baseball. Chief Bender holds priority of
place in sport as other world figures hold it in science,
industry, and art. There is only one Edison, only
one Henry Ford, only one Douglas Fairbanks, only
one Chief Bender.
Carlisle has expanded and improved since the Chief
dwelt among us. Through the interest and sustained
efforts of the community athletic association it has a
a team that keeps pace with the times.
“In days of old when knights were bold” it was the
amiable custom to present the keys of the city to dis-
tingui-hed guests in token of hospitality. We have no
keys because we have no gates; we have no gates be
cause we have no walls; but we assure Chief Bender
and the gracious lady who adorns his name and who
shares his merited popularity, of our affectionate pride
in his notable achievements, and we extend to both our
heartfelt welcome to the old hometown.
