P age 4 T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN fHLETICS CHEMAWA WINS HOLIDAY GAMES December 23, the Chemawa Redskins scalped the Silverfoxes 47-39 in one of the best and most exciting contests ever seen on the local court. This win par tially avenged two defeats of last year and gave us an early lead in the W. V. I. A. conference. The Indians jumped into an early lead and were ahead 22-16 at the half. In the second half Silverton began hitting the hoop regularly and tied us 39-39 with only a minute and a half left to play but Hat field’s two free throws at this time started the fire works and three baskets in rapid succession, two by Vivette and one by Pratt, made the final score 47-39. L. Vivette, Hatfield, I. Shoulderblade, Dogeagle, Pratt and Amera all played the game of their lives and it would be hard to pick a star. Hatfield with 26 and Vivette with 13 were high point men. Our “B” team walloped the Silverton “B” 48-26. Chemawa was at no time in danger of being overtaken. Luke Markishtum and Gale Bobb were high point men with 14 and 8 points respectively. Chemawa easily defeated Dallas high’s basketball team 49-26 on the home court December 29. This was a non-conferance practice tilt. Chemawa’s first string and Dallas gave an exhibition of slam bang basketball in the first half with Chemawa holding the upper hand to lead by 27-17 at half time. The reserves entered the game in the last half and gave the crowd a real treat in the way of a careful, fast and short passing game. Great defensive work permitted Dallas only 4 goals in this half. Vivette and Sam Shoulderblade carried off high point honors with 16 and 10 points respectively. The “B” team had quite a tussle with the Dallas bunch but managed to come out on the long end of a 37-21 score. Luke Markishtum was again high point man with 20 points. Molalla was defeated at Molalla in Chemawa’s sec ond league game on Dec. 30. The local sharpshooters, at no time in danger of being overtaken, were leading at the half 25-7. The game was quite rough. Sam Shoulderblade left the game on personal fouls. Coach Lavelle used his rapidly developing crew of subs again very effectively to relieve the regulars. Hatfield with 12 and Zundle and Vivette with 8 points each lead the scorers. The “B” team continued its string of victories by winning a close game from the Molalla “B”s 19-13. Gale Bobb and Les Jefferson were high point men with 8 and 4 points respectively. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES (Continued from page 1) During Christmas eve the wind and rain abated and Christmas day dawned calm and sunny. In the Protestant and Catholic churches appropriate programs were given. At noon the orchestra played while the students enjoyed a bountiful Yuletide repast. The girls held open house in the afternoon and had as guests the boys and many of the employees. On Monday the half-holidays began. In the even ing all enjoyed a talkie in the auditorium. Basketball games were the source of entertainment Tuesday night. The dining hall girls won the championship and trophy in the girls’ vocational basketball league, nosing out the P. G.’s by a narrow margin. In the boys’ class league the juniors won from the sophomores and the ninth grade defeated the seventh grade. Wednesday night everyone went to the auditorium to witness the interclass spelling contest. An account of this event is given in the “Local” column. Al though he was barely visible from the back of the hall, little Thomas Cree, known as “Sugai,” caught the popular fancy and when he finally went down in the junior division a tremendous outburst of groans, sighs and applause went up from the audience. The spellers of both the senior and junior high school groups did well and are to be congratulated on their good showing. The varsity and “B” teams made a clean sweep of their games with a scrappy little bunch of basketeers from Dallas high school on Thursday, Dec. 29. Friday evening Chemawa enjoyed another talkie. Saturday evening everyone gathered at the gym where a cos tume dance was held. Every character known to history and fiction, and some defying any category whatsoever, was represented among the masked and costumed merry-makers. This event concluded the holiday festivities. On New Years day no special program was listed. Monday. Back to business again. Everyone rested and refreshed, ready to start the biggest year in Che mawa history.
