P age 4 T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN Corvallis takes Chemawa RED AND WHITE BOWS TO RED AND BLACK Salem high school’s “green” forward wall crashed and crunched just as convincingly as more experienced red and black lines have performed in the past, to keep the Chemawa Indians entirely out of Salem high territory last Oct. 12th, as coach Hollis Huntington’s squad piled up a 25 to 0 victory over the Redskins. Due to Salem’s air-tight defense and refusal to give the visitors any “breaks,” Chemawa never had the ball on Salem’s side of the 50-yard line. James Nic holson’s long punts and Salem’s blocking of several of Chemawa kicks, contributed further to keep the In dians deep in their own territory. Salems four touchdowns were accounted for largely by the distance-running duel of Nicholson and Phil Salstrom, and three of them came in the first period. Between the first two, Chemawa didn’t touch the ball; Salem recovered its own kickoff and marched. After Chemawa had taken the opening kickoff and made one first down to its own 46, the nearest it got to Salem’s end of the field all afternoon, Don Coons recovereed a blocked kick on the 41; Sherrill dashed to a first down on the 28, Nicholson dodged his way to the 14. Then after a holding penalty had set Salem back, Nicholson ran 22 yards for the first touchdown and kicked the goal. Following the on-side kickoff, Salstrom made a 13 yard run and Nicholson after a five-yard trial attempt, reeled off the 29 yards necessary for a second score. The third touchdown came almost as rapidly. Nich olson returned the kickoff to Salem’s 38 and a little later punted to Chemawa’s 19. The Indians’ return kick netted only 10 yards to the 29 and Salstrom scored standing up from there. The second period was played in Chemawa territory but there was no more scoring until the third, when after a long Salem drive was stopped and Nicholson missed a field goal try, another Chemawa kick was blocked and recovered on the 22-yard line. Sherrill heaved a nine-yard pass to Traglio, Nicholson made it a first down, and then on third down Salstrom took the ball on a double reverse which crossed up “Poor Lo” and skittered seven yards to the final touchdown. With most of Coach Huntingtons’s reserves on the field in the last quarter, Nuckols, Conway and St. Martin of Chemawa made several good gains, St. Mar tin receiving a pass for a 15-yard gain, but it happen ed in the Indians’ end of the field. The redskins were decisively beaten by the flashy and shifty Corvallis high school at Corvallis last Fri day. In the first quarter the opponents scored but failed to convert. There was no scoring in the second period. The redskins early in the second half brought the count up by means of a blocked punt on the oppo nents one-yard line. In one rush the redskins scored and the conversion was also successful. The Cor vallis lads made two touchdowns in this period. The final score was 19-7 in favor of Corvallis. VOCATIONAL RELATED NEWS The Related Drawing and Mathematics classes are well under way. They are doing practical problems originating in the shops and, for the most part, sup plementing these with book problems to obtain drill in principles. Their motto is: “Mathematics is not an end in it self, but a means to an end.” And their work is gov erned accordingly. The junior shop students are learning the principles of mechanical drawing, lettering, and blue print reading. The senior shop students are producing the drawings for use in the shops. Several of the students are making use of the op portunity to study in the shop library during the study hour. More should be using it and doubtless will as more technical assignments are made in the shops. SENIOR COMMERCIAL NOTES The senior commercial class has shown marked im provement in their work and it is hoped that they wil keep ic up throughout the entire year. Miss Hoffman, in our own little world, is acting as President of the “Trans-Atlantic Air Corporation,” and it is hoped that by the end of this month we will all be excellent interviewers. SENIOR NOTES The mighty seniors finally decided to organize and their first meeting was held October 18, at 6:30 P. M. The beating of the tom-tom was heard and the low chant of Billy Orr and his “Medicine makers” made it known that the Indians meant business. Nominations were made for various officers and the following were elected: James Dupuis, president; Gertrude Adams, vice-president; Sam Scott, secretary; Louis Jamison, boys’ treasurer; Laura Walters, girls’ treasurer. The Annual Staff officers are: Clifford Olsen, editor in-chief; Dan Motanic, business manager; Pressley LaBreche and George Cummings, theme ed itors; Virgil Nuckolls and Naomi Mesplie, athletic re porters; Louis Youpe, historian; Thomas Shotridge, wills; Edward Jones, prophet.
