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.
