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
