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.
