T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN P age 4 CLASS HOLIDAY GAMES and every one in the games gave his all to help his team win. The girls were right on par with the boys when it came to keen competition and plenty of excite ment manifested itself during all their matches. Well, the best teams won and every one had oceans of fun watching and playing in the games. All Day Vocational 40, Juniors 26 The first day of games saw these two groups of boys and girls testing each others strength and adroitness in games of various kinds. The vocational girls carried off the honors for this day and completely routed their opponents. The boys, though they strove mightily, were taken to the cleaners in all but the horse and rider contest in which they laid all their foes low. All Day Vocational 46, Eigth Grade 20 On the second day of games the contests were even more exciting than on the first day. The eighth grade girls were out in deep water all the time and won only the tug-o-war while the vocational girls sailed through with everything else. The boys taking all day work also showed to better advantage and took five of the eight events they participated in. Senior* 46, Sophomore* 20 The third day of contests in the gym brought the seniors and sophomores together and with a combina tion Lady Luck and skill, the seniors emerged on the long end of the final score but not without a hard- fought battle in each and every event. The highlight of the day was the fisticuffs between Elmer Hootchew of the graduates-to-be and Wilfred Cline of the sophs which was awarded to the 10th grade boxer on points’ Senior* 86. Freshmen 80 The gods of good fortune almost—but not quite— left the seniors in the lane of the defeated when the supposedly green and inexperienced freshmen gave them the toughest run of any class since the starting whistle of the Yuletide Olympics. In the first place the girls of the 12th grade were nosed out at the fin ish line of the potato-race and were barely able by the “skin of their teeth” to sprint ahead in the Indian club race. The biggest surpise to more than several of the spectators was the spectacular way in which the smaller freshies floored the seniors in the horse-and- rider battle and suprising power they showed to pull the men of ’34 over the line in the tug-o-war. In the boys’ basketball game the freshmen displayed unex pected skill in the handling of the ball and several “Dead-eye Dicks” were brought into the limelight. Little “Moon” Jackson gave one and all special thrill ing moments as he “faked around” the bigger boys and made a goodly number of the points for his team. Final*: All Day Vocational 26, Senior* 40 On January 1, the winners of the proceeding games met to decide who were “champs.” To say that the events were hotly contested would be putting it mildly BASKETBALL Chemawa Team* Defeat Woodburn On »Friday, Dec. 29, Chemawa’s A and B teams met and defeated the A and B teams from Woodburn high school in the 4th game of the season. The game was slower than usual throughout but the Redmen were not in much danger during the entire period. ' Gun ny” Majhor, center for Chemawa, led his team-mates in scoring honors while the basket-makers of Wood burn had to divide honors, one with the other. The score for the B team game was 27 to 12 in favor of the future Redskins and the varsity defeated their op ponents by a count of 34 to 10. Dallas Defeat* Chemawa On January 2, our squad of hoopsters motored to Dallas, Oregon, to lock horns with the Dallas high school. In two fast and rough games the Chemawa teams came out on the short end of the the score in both instances. The B team dropped their game to the tune of 29-31, while the A squad had tougher luck and lost 29-38. The next game will be with Ashland high school at Chemawa. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Dec. Dec. Dec.
