P age 4 T he CHEM AWA AMERICAN INDIANS DROP LAST GAME Outscored but not outfought the Chemawa pigskin toters lost the final game of the season on Thanks giving day to a beefy crew of alumni of Woodburn high school by a score of 19-0. The boys were by no means disgraced for losing the game by such a wide margin. Woodburn was generously augumented by Columbia university, conqueror of Willamette.by seven or eight players, chief among them was Meri Nehl one of the top-notch college backs of the state. As usual Chemawa was sadly outweighed but regardless of the odds made several gallant goal-line stands. All honor to the 1933 band of Red and White grid iron warriors! Inexperienced, young and in every game, hopelessly outweighed, they nevertheless upheld the good old Chemawa tradition of fighing every min ute at every game up to the last whistle. * * * Basketball is next. Candidates are working out nightly and prospects are bright for a good season. The school is looking to the Shoulderblade brothers, Zundle, Keyote, Hunter, Majhor and Spottedeagle, veteran nucleus, around which they hope to see built a team that will do its stuff in a big way. Messrs. Sanders and Laniard will be the mentors of this year’s squad. They will be assisted by Leonard Vivette, star of last year’s team. The first game will be played against Jefferson at Jefferson on Dec. 13. The schedule is incomplete as yet but a full and interesting season is assured. Ar rangements have already been completed for games with Salem and Silverton. We will publish the schedule as soon as it is completed. The coaches are planning a barnstorming tour of southern Oregon from January 17 to 20 or January 31 to February 4. They will, if plans are consummated, play high schools at Eugene, Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford and Ashland enroute. * * ♦ A quartet of pugilists from Chemawa went to Ger vais Sunday of last week to show their speed and punch before a good crowd of fight fans. Although two of the boys, Winifred Parker and Louis Jamison, were unable to get a match, the other two did very well, Albert St. Martin fighting to a draw and Sam Shoulderblade winning by a decision over his oppo nent. * * * During the afternoons of the Christmas holidays games will be played in the gym between the classes, as was the custom a few years ago. Class officers and members are advised to start the hunt for their best horse and-rider teams, basketball players, rope-climb ers, tug-of-warriors, potatoe picker-uppers, etc. There will be equal opportunity for the girls and boys in all these contests. Start now and the holidays will be a huge success.

A VOICE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS As time goes on it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain enough news for an issue of the A merican , es pecially when work is a bit crowded in the shop and our reporter is not able to scramble around and drag it by force from the customers. Secretaries and report, ers of the several organizations are asked to please cooperate and keep sending in items. Class notes have been scarce lately, shop notes have fallen off and the only news we have had from the many religious or ganizations we obtained by brow-beating them from sec retaries. In this situation the sponsors can help. Now7 is the time for all good Chemawaites to come to the aid of their paper. If, about press time of the next issue, you should see ye editor, ye reporter, ye typeset ters and ye devils walking about the campus w’ith be wildered expressions on their faces you’ll know that some one paid heed to this plea. On December 2, the students and faculty enjoyed a show7 in the auditorium. “The Penguin Pool Murder’ ’ was the title and it furnished many a thrill to one and all.
