The CHEMAWA AMERICAN
HLETICS
HOTSHOTS SMOTHER WOODBURN SECONDS, 63-0
53 to 0 was the score by which our Hotshots won
over Woodburn high’s young Bulldogs at Woodburn
last Friday afternoon. Our hot ones did not do so
much in the first two periods, leading at the half by a
mere 13 to 0 score, but in the second half they truly
lived up to their name. Up the middle, off the tackles
and around the ends they galloped away for three
touchdowns, in each of the last two quarters. In spite
of all the Bulldogs’ despeiate attempts they were
swiftly swept aside and our ballcarriers sped the ball
goal ward.
Alfred Christnot was our work horse on the offense.
Taking the ball on almost every other play he bursted
the Bullbogs’line to shreads and accounted for what
seemed like miles and miles of yardage. Young
“Robare” Thomas, piloted the Hotshot ship in a
masterly way and used his plays to a big advantage.
When be was not using Christnot to take the ball
through the line he acted as good bait while three
flashy backs whirled around the ends for long runs.
Murray McClusky and Clarence Elliot functioned in
the left half position in a way that brought telling re
sults and were responsible for many of our points.
But the flashy, loose-hipped boy who delighted all
spectators at the game was none other than young
Orville Olney himself. Whisking around the end and
eluding tacklers in the way one often reads about but
seldom sees seemed to be his specialty. Several pretty
runs resulted from his native ability to side-step and
turn away from tacklers. His spectacular run to a
touchdown from a kick-off resulted from that type of
work.
Our backfield really played a brilliant game but it
is certain their work did not shine more brightly than
did that of those real hot ones in our forward wall.
Those seven focused their searchlights on the Bulldogs’
attack and so completely stopped them that not once
were they allowed to threaten our goal. Alphonse
Hoptowit and Urban Brunoe, tackles; Ferdinand
Thomas and Peter Emmons, ends; Peter Levay and
Dennis Brown, guards; Everett Sandberg, center, were
masters of every situation and hemmed in the Bulldog
ball toters so completely that they were able to do
little more than wiggle. Fred Grinnell, end; Herman
LaCourse, tackle; Wilson Cook and Philip Broncheau,
guards; all played half of the game and proved able
replacements.
If the seniors entertained even the faintest ray of hope of
laying claim the 1930 inter-class football championship it was
blasted assunder last week when they were slid, rolled and wal
lowed in the mud by the “poor little freshmen’’ 40 to 0.
Just who were the freshie stars was impossible to tell. One
man will look just like the other when smeared from one end
to the other with good old mother earth and water.
In holding the eighth graders’ machine to a 19 to 0 score it
is pretty generally agreed that the boys of the fifth did a big
day’s work and more than once did they threaten to register a
few points themselves.
Friday our team will appear on the home field for the last
time this season. From our present aggregation Captain
Warrren Wilder is the only member graduating. For the
past three seasons Warren has been an inspirational member
of our teams and his absence next fall will be felt. The reserve®
from Linfield College will be our opponent. Roy Meachem,
fullback and Dowd Franklin, quarterback have been somewhat
handicapped on account of injuries but expect to be going
at top speed against Linfield.
GIVEN IN PORTLAND
The second Sunday of November is observed by Y.
W. C. A. in forty-nine countries of the world as
“World Fellowship Sunday.” For five consecutive
years the Chemawa Y. W. C. A. has given this
Fellowship program in the Portland Y. W. C. A.
Last Sunday ten Chemawa girls, accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. Mason, Mr. and Mrs. Downie, and
Miss Judd and Miss Eakin, went to Portland for this
annual program. Christine Muller presided and gave
the introductory talk on “Why we observe the Week
of World Fellowship and Prayer.” Other talks were
given by Grace Marshall, Veda Lajeunesse, and
Katie Gartleman. Agnes Scott led the devotions, and
Eleanor Markishtum gave as a reading, “God’s
Dreams.”
The musical numbers were especially well given and
well received.
“Softly the Silent Night,” and
“Friendliness” were sung by the girls’ sextet, and a
group of Indian Tribal Melodies were sung by Alice
Slater and Marie LaFrance. The Chemawa girls who
are living in Portland joined with the local girls at the
close of the program in singing “Follow the Gleam”
and the school song. Mrs. Tate and her religious
work committee served a delicious supper to the Che
mawa people before their return home.
W. U. MINSTRELS
A minstrel show was staged in our school auditorium
last Thursday evening by young men representing
Willamette University. Chemawa was represented
by Joe White, who is enrolled at the University, and
Verne Wilson, who for a time lived here with his
parents, is also a member of the minstrel cast. Joe
was one of the vocal soloists of the evening. The
entire student body was in attendance, as well as many
of our employes. The entertainment was much enjoyed
by our young folk and we extend thanks to the young
men for the trouble they took to put on a “compli
mentary” for us. It was nice of them.
