Page 4 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN CHEMAWA BEATS UNIVERSITY HIGH 33-28 The Indians staged a comeback after a period of basketball coma due to the “flu.” This game was one of the most high ly enjoyed of the season, for it was close throughout and was not a rough affair. The University high boys were thorough sportsmen and we hope that more contests can be arranged under such friendly conditions. The Eugene boys started out with a lead, due to beautiful shooting by McAllister, who by the way, was high point man of the game, with 20 points, but Chemawa soon caught up, mainly because the opponents could not perfect a defense for Chemawa’s style of play. Russell Bobb caused them not a little trouble by hiding out in the corners and just when they forgot him a pass would come down and he had time for “all night” shots. Chemawa’s players all contributed to the scoring, Bobb with 12; Vivette 7; Thomas 6; Hatfield 6; and DePoe 4. This is a new line-up for Chemawa. Poor passing was evident, but it is believed that with more practice it will improve greatly. The champion class B team added another to their credit by trouncing the Deaf School 30-17. The first half was poorly played with only half-hearted efforts by each team. Although the score was close at half time, 11-12 favoring the deaf, Che mawa steadily forged ahead in the last periods and showed some of their clever, short passes for which they are now famed. Chemawa plays McMinville there next Friday. Track and baseball, varsity and intra-mural, will start soon, providing the weather keeps fair. WRESTLING In a dual meet with Salem Hi on February 20th, Chemawa wrestlers again swamped them by taking 6 matches out of 9. This is the worst beating Salem has taken this year. The fol lowing men won their matches: D. Colgrove, Olney, Dumont, L. Pepion, Underwood, Peltier. T. Courtney wrestled to a ■draw. In the city meet Chemawa entered 6 wrestlers and brought home 3 gold medals. Pretty good, we say. The boys who won the medals and are the champions of Salem at their weights are D. Colgrove, 175; Frank Dumont, 135; Terry Courtney, 105. These boys were pitted against the best in Salem, so you can readily see that under our coach, Mr. Sanders, they are doing good work. Mr. Sanders is getting his boys ready to enter for the state championship matches which are going to be held in Salem on March 11-12, so watch the papers. LOCAL The band played last Sunday for the religious organ izations as they marched to their churches. It seemed like old times. During the illness of Mr. VosBurgh, Charles DePoe is in charge of the band. We are informed that a new athletic field is to be established just west of the cottages on the walk lead ing to the Oregon Electric station. This is really necessary and we rejoice with the students that ample provisions for their pleasure and needs are soon to be made by Supt. Ryan. Dr. Florence Reed, field secretary for the national council for the prevention of war, was a speaker at the Protestant church last Sunday morning. Her talk was most interesting. Of late she has been addressing high school students throughout the state. Our last Sunday evening’s chapel exercises were in charge of Supt. Ryan. Mr. Christ}’ had some an nouncements to make regarding a new system of grad ing for Chemawa, Lena Louie gave a vocal number and was well received, and the orchestra rendered a couple of selections. We are in receipt of sad news—the death of Lottie Kipp on February 24th at her home in Kamiah, Idaho. She was a member of our 1931 graduating class. The cause of death is unknown to us. Many friends in Che mawa will be saddened by the intelligence of this bright girl’s death. The “Flandreau Spirit” has emerged from the mim eograph chrysalis and has reached our desk from an “honest to goodness’ ’ print shop. It is a nice-appearing and newsy sheet, fully representative of the school and students of Flandreau, and we welcome it and bespeak for it a long and useful life. Some ten or more days ago Mr. VosBurgh, our bandmaster, was taken to the veterans’ hospital in Portland for medical treatment, as he was danger ously ill at the time. According to the last word to reach us Mr. VosBurgh is responding nicely to treat ment and his friends here at the school are feeling much easier regarding his condition. We are informed that the Phoenix Indian School band, under the direction of Hermann A. Kunkel, will broadcast at 7:30 this evening from station KTAR. This station is on a hook-up with the National Broad casting Co. and if all stations give the band a break they may be heard over KGW, if the latter station does not carry this broadcast we cannot get them, as the inter ference of KGW will not permit us an audition. We are hopeful that we may get a break in this matter.
