The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Page 4 TWO GAMES SPLIT The varsity basketball team beat Woodburn on Friday, Feb. 5, by a 31 to 5 score, they following in the footsteps of the class “B” team, which result was identical. The class “B” team by virtue of their victory are now class “B” champions for Marion County and will represent said county in the games to be played against the Linn county champions on March 11th and 12th. Both varsity and “B” games were not interesting for the first quarter as our boys could not get used to the tiny Woodburn court. However, the score soon became lopsided. Salem again took a double-header from Chemawa. The class “B” team did not live up to their reputation as Marion County champions when after a 12-2 lead in the first quarter they let down and allowed Salem to win 18-16. In the final three quarters our boys made but 6 points, two by free throws. Salem sank their last basket in the final minute of play. The varsity had hard luck when on the morning of the “Big Game” it was found that the starting combination was entirely broken up by sickness and even a second combination was not available. Forwards had to be made into guards at a minute’s notice. The result was a walkaway for Salem in the first half; scoreboard read 7-29. In the second half our boys played together better and the game ended 27-53. We all hope that Shoulderblade, Vivette and William DePoe will be in condition for the varsity and Burr for the “B” team in our next game, which will be at Lebanon on Friday of this week. INTRA MURAL The inter-class games ended Saturday, Feb. 6th, with inter esting games. The Juniors won the class championship by beating the Seniors 18-9. The score does not indicate what a hot battle that was. The 7th grade pulled an upset and beat the 8th graders for the grade championship. The boys from Mitchell Hall played unexpectedly well when they beat Brewer Hall 6-5. Other games have been called off until the present “fltt” epidemic will have passed over. CHEMAWA WRESTLERS The wrestling team has been working overtime with the Salem match on the 19th in mind, and also looking forward to a meet at Carvallis, and with the State Championship meet at Salem on March 11th and 12th. “Old Man Oregon” is certainly getting a bad deal from the Weather Man. Miss Mabel Morgan, assistant supervisor of nurses in the Indian Service, has been at Chemawa officially during the past week. She was here in the interest of health education. She left here yesterday for a visit at the Taholah Agency, Washington. The members of the Girls’ Music Club met in the choir practice room on the first and third Mondays of this month and enjoyed profitable discussions regard ing the music of Washington’s time. The club mem bers are preparing for their part on the Washington- Lincoln program which is scheduled for Feb. 27th. Milton James, of Chemawa, had quite an honor bestowed on him. He was initiated into the Sigma Tau fraternity at Willamette University last week and now wears the pin, which is an endorsement of this young man and carries weight in various circles. Milton is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. James, employes at Chemawa. Mr. Roy Bradley, chief supervsior of construction in the Indian Service, spent a day here recently while en route to Warmspring Agency, Eastern Oregon. Supt. Perkins picked him up in Portand the day following his visit here and took him on over to Warmspring. From Warmspring Mr. Bradley expected to proceed to Ft. Hall, Idaho, with the intention of returning to Chemawa during the course of a couple of weeks. The Salem Girl Reserves and the Y. W. C. A. held a meeting here on Feb. 7th. Christine Muller, pres ident of the Y. W. C. A., presided over the meeting. The program was rendered by both organizations. The topic of discussion was “Good Manners.” The discussions were led by Grace Skinner and Elizabeth Ulrich of Salem, Florence Allman, Essie Bedard of Chemawa. Two special musical numbers were given by the Salem girls. The devotions were led by Cerise Hogan. After a most interesting program the girls all stayed for tea. The afternoon proved to be a very enjoyable one. ESCORTS LOCAL Last Friday was Lincoln’s Birthday, next Monday will be Washington’s Birthday—his bi-centennial. Last Sunday was St. Valentine’s Day, on February 25th Chemawa will be 52 years old—twice old enough to vote. Great days, all of these! Supervisor E. H. Hammond and Mr. Larson left last Thursday on official business that will necessitate an absence of probably two or three weeks. They will visit the Roseburg, Umpqua, Coos Bay, Rogue river and Chetco river sections—wherever our Indian people may be located.
