P age 4 T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN BASKETBALL Team On Southern Jaunt On Thursday morning, Jan. 31, the Chemawa bas ketball team left on its long week-end trip into the southern part of the state. Their first opponent was met and conquered the same day. Myrtle Creek was the opposing team that night and although they made a gallant effort the Redskins overan them, 42 to 21. Captain Ike Shoulderblade was high point man with 12 points. The next night, Feb. 1, the squad arrived in Ash land to do battle with their pale-faced friends of that city. History repeated itself that night when the Ash land quintet defeated our stalwarts for the second time this season by one point, the final score being 31-30. Sam Shoulderblade counted for 16 of the Redskins’ points. After another day on the highway the Chemawa team arrived at Medford for a two game series. Med ford is one of our traditional rivals—a friendly foe but one which we take great delight in defeating. On this occasion our fondest hopes were realized when our boys put forth a supreme effort, outcharging and outsmarting their pear-picking rivals to wTin by the score of 28-23. Isaac Shoulderblade and Wallace Zun- dle each accounted for 9 points. The next night, in the second game, the pear-pick ers staged a complete reversal of form and upset the Indians cart, 28-12.

GIRLS CLASS GAMES The 9th grade girls won an unexpected victory over the 7th and 8th grade team in a game on the 26th. The final score was 11 to 5. In the second game of the evening the sophomores took the juniors down the line in a thriller. The score was nip-and-tuck to the final whistle but the sophomores put on a last minute stand and pushed over in a rising tide to win 22 to 18. Monmouth Wins After coming home from the southern tour the Red- men rested a few days then, on Feb. 9, journeyed to Monmouth for the second fray with the Monmonth high school team. The Indians started slowdy and w’ere unable to over come the early lead that their opponents ran up on them. The final score read 20-26 in favor of Mon mouth. Wallace Zundle again was “on” and made 12 points for his team. The Chemawa B team won the preliminary from the Monmouth reserves, 23-20. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE 1933 Dec. Dec. Dec.

The speaker of the evening was Mr. G. P. LaVatta, who delivered a fine talk on “Making a Name for Chemawa.” An outstanding feature on the program was a con test by the machinists. The opposing teams took their stands on the right and left sides of the stage. As they encountered questions which they could not answer they took their seats. The questions which Mr. Allen, their instuctor, asked were of a very tech nical nature and had direct reference to their work. The promptness with which the boys responded was remarkable. Charles Peterson was the last man stand ing on the losing side and put up a game fight. He finally lost to Louis Youpee and Peter Berger. We are looking forward to more of such interesting exhibits from other shops.
