T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN
The new athletic field is nearing completion. We
wonder if we can play on it this fall. An appropriate
name for it would be “Ryan Field.”
CHEMAWA, OREGON NORMAL BATTLE TO A TIE
The result of Oregon Normal-Chemawa game was
not apparent at the outset. It appeared that the Braves
had the best of the argument as the score read 12-0 at
the end of the first quarter. However, a few fumbles
put the teachers in a good position to score and they
finally made it 12-6 at the half. Chemawa scored
again in the third period but the teachers would not
be stopped and due to their heavier line and greater
experience managed to put over one touchdown after
an intercepted pass was caught and run back to the
eight yard line and then made another touchdown on
their famous tackle sneak play which had twice failed
previously.
The final score was 18-18 and we may well be proud
of our boys in putting up such a good game against
the heavy odds (and ends) that were put against them.
CHEMAWA ALL-STARS DROP ONE
The All-stars with partial help from the high school
team was able to hold the Oregon State College rooks
for the first quarter only. After that our line was
badly outcharged and the backs failed to consistently
stop the onslaught of the then momentum gaining
rooks. Had our players kept the pace they started
in the first quarter the story might well be a different
one as the other team was not 31 points better.
Chemawa plays Eugene Freshmen, a team reportedly
much weaker than the rooks. A splendid chance to
show our comeback qualities. This game will be at
Eugene, Friday night.
CHEMAWA ALL STARS VS. LINFIELD
The all-stars showed class by outcharging and out
playing the Linfield Reserves 12-0 on Oct. 8. The
high school players filled in on several occasions. The
game was filled with long gains and passes most of
which were made by the Reserves but only in the
center of the field. When Chemawa had to hold, they
did.
The all-stars have but to continue the good work to
have a fine aggregation.
OREGON CITY HERE
On Saturday, Oct. 15, our high school team will
play Oregon City high school on our own grounds.
This will be our biggest game here for the season.
Sophomores were going big guns in the intra-mural
schedule until they struck a snag in the seniors last
Sunday. The score after a strenuous struggle, many
long runs, and passes ended 7-6 for the seniors.

run from fourth to twelfth inclusive. Enrollment in the upper

siderable time spent this fall in placing the students, both in
the academic and vocational departments.

Several new pieces of equipment have been added to Haskell
Institute’s commercial department. Seven new adding ma
chines, a bookkeeping machine and a calculator are the latest
additions. Some revision will be made in the course of study to
meet the changes in the industrial and commercial world.
Haskell has had unusual success in placing her commercial
graduates and this is partly due to the fact that she has kept up
with the world in equipment and teaching methods.
