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.
