The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 4 SALEM BEATS CHEMAWA ONE POINT In what at first looked to be “just another game” for Salem, Chemawa gave the Cherrians the scare of their young lives. The score at half time showed a slight advantage for Salem, but as the third quarter opened up they immediately opened the lead to what appeared to be a hopeless case for the Indians. The score at the beginning of the fourth quarter was 34-19. Then things begin to happen, but eventhen no one suspected that Chemawa had such great come-back qualities, until with but two minutes to go Chemawa was but five points behind. They dwindled this to one when the game ended, thus losing by one point again. The “B” team lost by three points. SILVERTON P Chemawa played Silverton, and ore other, Friday night with the result that Silverton won. There is still some question as to what th 3 outcome will be as the official score read 23-23, while the score board was used as the result. The win for Silverton would entitle them to be in the district play offs. Chemawa led most of the game until the fouls called in the fourth quarter were too great a handicap and Silverton caught up. The class “B” team came back in the second half to give one of the best exhibitions of passing seen on the Silverton court. They of course won by a large margin, 28-11. Chemawa class B has to win but one more game to have the Marion County championship. WRESTLING In spite of our inexperience, we managed to beat Salem in a rough and tough grappling match recently. Among those who won against Salem were, Delmer Colgrove, heavy weight; Chester, Alfred and LeRoy Pepion, George Goujon, and Terry Courtney. Frank Dumont, putting on an exhibition match with Yakata, who weighed 215 lbs., amused the crowd with his clowning. We went to Portland where we were beaten by the Central “Y” by a score of 7 to 3. INTRA MURAL BOYS The Inter-class games have all been played but the deciding games, which will be championship affairs. The 7th and 8th are leading the grade division with but one loss each. This will be played off at the time that the Juniors and Seniors will clash for the high school championship. A team from Brewer will play another from Mitchell on the same night, namely, Feb. 6. Then on Feb. 11th the final game will be played be tween McNary and Brewer and Mitchell combined. GIRLS The last game of the tournament, which was altogether in teresting and exciting, was played on Thursday evening with the Juniors winning out as champions. The following were games played since Christmas: Jan. 14, Sophomores vs. Juniors, score 25-8, Juniors; Jan. 18, Freshmen vs. Seniors, score 16-6, Seniors; Jan. 22, Freshmen vs. Sopho mores, score 32-16, Sophomores; Jan. 28, Juniors vs. Seniors, score, 21-11, Juniors. The seventh and eighth grades also played an interesting game on Jan. 18, the score being 12 to 7 in favor of the seventh grade. Many of the first team players of these grades were ineligible on account of points being taken off. Captains of the teams are as follows: Freshmen, Laura Morigeau; sophomores, Florence Allman; juniors, Alice Ladderoute; seniors, Margaret Hoptowit. These girls have all proved themselves efficient captains and are well worth being proud of. We also find Helen Adams a very effi cient manager and referee. Another whom we shouldn’t forget is Thelma Doore, who refereed one of the games, with Agnes Smith as umpire. The girls are now’ practicing for a goal-throwing contest to be held February and seem quite interested and anxious to do their best. LOCAL Supt. and Mrs. Ryan and Mr. and Mrs. Turney were dinner guests last Saturday at the home of Prof, and Mrs. Paul Petri in Corvallis. The paint shop boys have finished decorating the “home management house.” The girls moved in on January 11th and fixed up their rooms. Those living there are Thelma Doore, Hattie Hayden, Bertha Per- atrovich, Emma Redd, Agnes Smith and Harriette Simmones. They will live there until Febuary 29th. Last Monday afternoon Mrs. Ryan sponsored a tea honoring the ladies of the school. The affair proved of unusual interest socially and otherwise. A large number of rare quilts were exhibited, proving in some instances that our ancestral mothers were most artistic with a needle. This was one ot the most interesting meetings that the ladies have enjoyed Mrs. Ryan, as hostess, spares no pains in preparing for the enjoyment of her guests. Organizations and Departments MISCELLANEA Misses Lucy and Lillian Billy gave a dinner, hon oring Flora McKay’s 18th birthday, at Winona Hall on January 25th. The other guests were: Miss Se- manski, Edna Wesley, Messrs. Bruce McKay, Sherman Alexander, Dan Motanic and John Washise. The din ner was a credit to the Billy sisters. It shows that work in Home Econmics has not been in vain. A hot bed has been constructed for the purpose of starting early plants for the garden. The garden boys have planted cabbage seed in flats. These flats are being kept in the windows of the classroom until they can be transplanted into the hot bed. We are grow ing as many cabbage and tomato plants as possible this year to avoid having to buy them. The orchard spraying equipment has been over hauled by the auto mechanics and the machinists. Spray materials are being purchased. Frequent con ferences are being held with the auto mechanics, try ing to arrange for power to draw the spray outfit through the orchards. We are short of power to carry on our farm work and are, therefore, trying to avoid taking a team from the farm to do the orchard work.
