Silverton Wins by Small Margin
The annual basketball thriller between Silverton
high school and Chemawa, Feb. 14, was by no means
a let-down from those of past seasons. The game was
exceedingly fast and until the final whistle neither team
was a winner.
In the final minutes or even seconds
of play, the Silver Foxes forged into a one-basket lead
and held it for the remaining seconds. The high point
honor went to Sam Shoulderblade with 13 counters.
The final score was 28-26.
Redskins Lose to Astoria
Playing tough breaks and without their regular cen
ter, Chemawa lost to Astoria high at Astoria, Feb. 17.
Walter Majhor, who sprained his ankle in the Silver-
ton game, was not able to make the trip.
The score
was 39-19.
and worse, Salem beating Silverton. With all handi
caps laid away the rooters never let up for one moment,
though our boys were trailing behind.
Prospects for victory looked bad at the start, score
being 10-4 the first quarter and 16-9 at half time. In
the second half a rally was started by Captain Ike
Shoulderblade which was never let down by our boys.
The third period being 23-16. In the last few minutes
and seconds of play the score was tied which had every
body standing on their toes. Zundle, who seemed off
the first half, shot the winning goal, the final score be
ing 28-26 in our favor. Majhor who missed previous
games on account of injuries, played a whale of a
game defensively and was the main cog in recovering
the ball under the basket. John Blacketer and Spot
ted Eagle didn’t do much service in other games but
showed up like veterans and did much toward the
massacre.
Ike was score king with 12 points and
Zundle with 8 pointers. Ike and Spotted Eagle play
ed their last game here.
The Salem B team beat Chemawa B 35-14.
Silverton Overwhelms Indians
In a return game at Silverton, Feb. 23, Silverton
high took the Redmen into camp by the desisive mar
gin of 40-6. The passing and the shooting of the Silver
Foxes seemed to be too much for the locals to get
around and Silverton made points almost at will. In
the second half Chemawa’s star guard, Ike Shoulder-
blade, went out on fouls. This coupled with the fact
that his brother Sam suffered a sprained ankle late in
the second quarter served to dishearten the rest of the
Chemawa team and their game fell below standard for
the second half. In the preliminary fracas the Silver-
ton reserves won from Chemawas’ B team 17-11.
Matmen Lose In Tough Tussle
The stranglers are again hitting the mat with Jim
mie Rosario as their manager. They had their first
match with Salem High on February 24, in Salem.
The bout was taken by Salem, as fourteen of our men
are green-horns. We hope to make a better showing
at the next grapple. The boys revealed marvelous
possibilities and we have high hopes of being well rep
resented in the tournament.
CHEMAWA SCALPS SALEM
In one of the best thrillers of the season here last
night Chemawa defeated Salem in a fast and grueling
game. Chemawa who had but one out of ten chances
of winning with two of their regular varsity men on
the cripple and sick list, forgot their cares and played
with what material they had.
The student body held slim chances for our team,
due to the terrific drubbing given them by Silverton,
GIRLS TAKE TWO GAMES
On Feb. 17, Misses Hoffman and Wentzel took the
girls’ varsity team to Monmouth for a basketball game.
During the first part of the game the score was even
and then our girls steadily drew away from their foes.
The final score was 28-17 in favor of Chemawa.
The following Tuesday, Feb. 21, Monmouth played
a return game at Chemawa. The Indian girls proved
superior again by defeating the Monmouth team 29-19.
