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.

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.
