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.
