Page 4 The CHEM AWA AMERICAN “LO” GATHERS A FEW SCALPS Out of five starts last week our basket shooters came home with four well deserved pelts. We might say five out of six, for our alumnai team also came home with a scalp. Peter Rassmussen, alumnus; and his quintet downed the team at Grand Ronde 36 to 21. Our “B” team won two and lost one. Early in the week they trimmed the Salem “ Y” Aces 36 to 19, but the Aces figured they had an off night and called our boys back later in the week to show them how they should have done it. This time our “ B” boys cleaned house to the tune of 36 to 16. But our “B” team met their masters Friday. The Woodburn “B” team trounced them 13 to 11. On the same evening our first team brought home the scalp of Woodburn’s first team just by the skin of their teeth. But it was a well-earned victory. After trailing along behind eight points with three minutes to go Captain Vivette and his team started to work and in just the niche of time tied the score 27 to 27 as the game ended. At the end of the first over-time period the score remained unchanged. In the second the figures changed to 29 to 29. And after a wild and furious scramble Dominic Dog Eagle scored the bas ket that ended the game 31 to 29. On Saturday evening our five played the prelim inary to the W. U. Albany College game against W. U. Freshmen. We entertained no possible chance to win but Lo, the poor Indian surprised the opposi tion and our hoopers won 19 to 12, just when we gave them the least possible chance for several reasons. All this should be enconraging to our team. It is their first year together and the first season under fire against outside opposition for all but Millier and Vivette. But it is time now that they were carrying the load and so far they have stood up pretty well. Out of five games they won three. Our line-up has been Captain Vivette and Robert Thomas, forwards; Albert Miller and Dominic Dog Eagle, guards. Against the freshmen this combination looked very promising. They played well defensively and displayed a heady offensive game. Friday our “A” and “B” teams go to Oregon City to play the high school teams. Saturday our grap- plers will once more go into action in our auditorium against the Swedish Athletic Club Wrestlers of Sandy, Oregon. Our wrestlers defeated the Oregon City high school team here last Saturday afternoon by a score of 83 to 58. Just a few week ago the first match was held in Oregon City and ended in an even score—60 to 60— but since that time our grapplers have turned in some over-time practice periods that paid them well last Saturday. Leroy Pepion, our first representative on the mat, wrestling at 115 pounds, won by a decision in the first round and then by a fall in one minute and 20 seconds, to give us our first 14 points. George Pepion added 14 more when he put Herbert Stiner on his shoulders for the first fall and then won the sec ond by a decision. “Terrible” Terry Courtney put up a game fight, but was the victim of a couple of mys terious holds and lost by two straight falls to Frank Howell, who gave the Oregon City boys their first points—16. A nip-and-tuck bout was won by Frank “Lindy” Dumont, that gave us 15 points and Oregon City three. “Lindy” and Rupert Verletookto the mat three times without a fall. The first was a draw and the latter two were awarded to “Lindy” by decision. Matthew James surprised everybody but himself when he won over Claude Parker by two straight falls and added 16 points to our score. No sooner had Mat thew collected his 16 markers than Clifford Iron Moc casin gave them back. Frank McElroy pinned his shoulders to the mat twice in rapid succession. Though Roland Booth was defeated by a decision in the first round and a fall in the second, there was little differ ence in the two boys. Roland put up a game, ag gressive battle, but Edwin Cornwell added 14 points to Oregon City’s score at Roland’s expense. One of the snappiest matches of the afternoon was won by Murray McClusky. “Big Hands” Murray did well to win over Herbert Sidor by a decision and a fall to give our team 14 points more. The final match of the afternoon was between Peter McClusky and Avon Kirk of Oregon City. These two big boys staged an exciting battle that ended in a decision for Kirk in the first round. In the second Peter got his old rab bit foot working and Mr. Kirk fell victim to Pete’s favorite hold and was pinned to the mat in just two minutes and 25 seconds. Their third and final bout ended in a draw. Pete gave us 11 points and Kirk added nine more to Oregon City. ESCORTS Jan. 18—McBride..................................
