Page 4 The CHEMAWA ROMPS OVER BABY BADGERS, 20—6 Unleashing a speedy offense and a strong defense, our football team romped away with Pacific Univer sity’s Baby Badgers here last Friday afternoon 20 to 6. Working in perfect harmony with its line, our backfield ran around the ends and slipped through the line for big yardage and their first touchdown just three minutes after the first kick-off. The Baby Badg ers elected to receive and on their first running play our linemen swarmed through and onto the ball carrier like a thousand bees for the first five-yard loss. Right away Pacific decided to let someone else do the ball carrying and Franklin, who called a heady game for our team, soon had the team marching goal ward. Wallace Hosie and Warren Wilder, halfbacks, and Roy Meachem, our minute but line-smashing fullback, functioned so nicely that they reeled off one first down after another. “Lefty” Wilder accounted for nine teen of our twenty points, having scored all three touchdowns and completed one pass for an extra point. Much credit goes to the line and the good work of the backfield for the defense was so completely fooled that Warren took the ball over each time almost untouched. Dowd Franklin scored the other point by a perfect drop kick. Behind a splendidly formed interference Franklin made the prettiest run of the game wThen, standing on his own goal line, he carried the ball from punt formation for forty yards. On the next play he threw a twenty-yard pass to Albert Miller, who grab bed it and went to the Badgers’ five-yard line before downed. From the first play our line had Pacific’s offense stopped. The way they treked through was just a pattern they followed throughout the afternoon. Cap tain “Biff” Jones and George Thompson, our two scrapping tackles, set a heavy pace, but they had five willing followers in Albert Miller and Clifford Case, ends; Lonnie Weeks, center; Harry Archambeau and Howard Churchill, guards. Those seven were after Badger hides and they got ’em. With each game they have exibited more speed and power and last Friday they moved forward as a unit and kept our goal completely out of danger until the final ten seconds to play, when Charles Motschman went in to relieve Franklin who bad to be taken from the game early in the third quarter on account of a shoulder in jury, heaved the pass that was intercepted and was carried down a clear field for Pacific’s only score. Except for Franklin and Meachem the team came out of the game in good shape. It will be three AM ERICAN weeks before Franklin will be ready for action. The juniors were dropped from their high station in life last week for their first wolloping of the season at the strong hands of the sophies. The way those sophs put the skids under the juniors was not slow. What a game! All predicted that before the season was over some real football would be played and this game furnished everything. Though Little Swallow and his power house was stopped they never stopped trying. It was “Robare” Thomas that cracked the sizzling juniors. His nicely-timed passes and runs and varied attack spelled demise for the juniors to the tune of 19 to 0. Though the fifth and seventh graders played first they didn’t play second fiddle to anybody. Theirs was a battle royal and the fifth graders made the seventh run a thousand miles to win 12 to 6. Friday the Hotshots will play the Woodburn high team at Woodburn. This week the seniors will meet the freshmen and the fifth and eighth graders will tangle. Our next big game is with McMinnville high at Mc Minnville on Tuesday—Armistice Day. After a ten- day rest our team should be ready for a hard game. BOY SCOUTS Since school opened and a new system has been adopted we have been late in getting underway. On Tuesday night the different troops met and organized. Troop 8 assembled in the Brewer Hall reading room, Scoutmaster Mr. Francisco having charge. Dr. Sisco, Troop Committeeman for the troop, was present. A number of new candidates were present. Charles De Poe assisted. Troop 7, under Mr. Henderson, met at the Industri al building. Ted Allman, one of our boys attending Willamette University, will act as Assistant Scout master. Troop 5 is just at present without a Scoutmaster on account of Mr. Turner, former Scoutmaster, having other duties. Assistant Scoutmaster Matthew John had charge of the meeting. This troop met in the Mit chell Hall reading room. Three patrols were orginized, names of patrols and the Troop colors selected. Added to the troops is what are called “Cub Scouts. ’ ’ Boys who are 9, 10 and 11 may be Cub Scouts; a good many of the small boys have joined. With the interest manifested by the new boys in Scouting it looks as though we will have a good year. Many of the older scouts will be earning Merit badges. A $25.00 Silver and gold plated bugle has been of fered as a prize to the best bugler in our area; contest to be on soon. Scouts Walter Majhor and Bennie Sanderson are working for the prize. We hope they will bring the “bacon home.” ESCORTS Mr. C. Turner Miss Cruise Winona............................ Mr. Fisher Mrs. Herlits Hawley .... Miss Richardson Mr. T.
