After much erroneous discussion by the student body and also the faculty members concerning the dropping of Che mawa from the Willamette Valley Inter-scholastic League the athletic department issues this statement to straighten out the matter. Upon application by Chemawa to enter the above mentioned league we were accepted temporarily pending the results of Chemawa’s football season and our league games. During this trial Chemawa has proved too strong for our league competitors but by mutual agreement we will finish the current season in basketball and baseball as members in good standing of the league. The following season, however, Chemawa will not compete for any honors in that league but will schedule games with the strongest of the schools, as in the past. Chemawa will attempt to organize a stronger league into which she may fit. The members in the W. V. I. L. at present are: West Linn, Woodburn, Lebanon, Silverton, Molalla and Chemawa. Chemawa has not forfeited any games. There has been a misunderstanding on the part of state officials who ruled at the beginning of the season that all our players were elegible to compete. However, after a time one of our players was ruled ineligible upon a technicality and through no fault of our own. This necessitates the replaying of one of our games, with Sil verton. which will be done on a neutral floor, the Willamette gymnasium, on the night of February 11. Chemawa is still in the running for the state tournament and will have to be beat en twice by either Woodburn or Silverton to be put out.

The linoleum cut of Lincoln which appears on page one of this issue is the work of Harry Wilder, a stu dent in the printing class. For many of the embellish ments and tints seen on our better ‘ ‘jobs’ ’ we are greatly dependent on the carving skill of “Moon.” Although he is a triple threater in the trade itself (he composes, imposes and feeds press) he never appears to better advantage than when he has his nose a few inches from a piece of linoleum following the intricate maneuvers of a carving tool guided by his own hand.
