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.
