P age 4 T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN BASKETBALL Ashland quint defeats braves 25 to 37. The redskins were outclassed by the Ashland high school’s sharp-shooting quint here on Jan. 3. The Lithians were able to keep constant possession of the ball, aided by considerable advantage in height over the redskins. Hardy, the Ashland center, was a deadly foe to the braves. He was especially a menace under the basket and made exactly half of his team’s score, rifling the ball into the basket for 19 pointers. Chief Larnard changed his line-up many times in order to find a checking combination but that would not work out. Frequent fouls by the braves added more points to the Lithian column as Coach Faber’s rangy lads converted a good percentage of the free throws. The braves played better type of ball in the second half but they could not overcome the early lead. The redskins tied the Lithians for markers in the second half, both teams making each 16 points and the final score registering 25 to 37. Captain Labreche played his usual aggressive game at forward, leading his team with 9 numbers. Spotted Eagle, who did some fine mesh work in the Oregon City game along with Archambeau held themselves scoreless in this tilt. “Legs’ ’ Sanderville, the lean red skin center, frequently had to ask his opponent, “how the weather was up thar” and was unable to get any of the tip-offs. “Grayson” Adams played a good game at guard and held second honors for pointers w’ith 4 to his credit. Chemawa defeats Gervais 34 to 10. The braves motored to Gervais on the evening of Jan. 4th and cleaned the farmers 34 to 19. Chief Lar nard gave all his reserves a chance to compete in this game to give them a little more experience. In a preliminary game the Chemawa “B” team de feated the Gervais “B” to the overwhelming score of 40 to 0. Braves bow to rival foe 27 to 33. Chief Larnard and his warriors were taken to camp but not before the braves gave the Cherrians a tough and close battle at Salem’s home floor Jan. 8th. It was a rough and fast game and over-guarding by both teams resulted in frequent fouls and showed the inex perience of the players on both quints. Salem took the lead from the start when Salstrom of the Vikings swished one from the corner in the first few seconds of play. He was poison in the Chief’s buffalo hump, accounting for more than half of his team’s score with 18 scalps to his credit. The final score being 33 to 27. Both teams used man-to-man defense formation but the Salem hoopsters held the redskins to two field goals in the first half, the braves were unable to locate the hoop. The score at half-time registering 20 to 9. In the second half the braves with a complete reversal of form threatened to overtake the Vikings and before the last period the score registered 20 to 26. The braves just began to find the hoop as the whistle blew, the final score being 27 to 33. The redskins marked 18 points to the Salemite’s 13 in the last half. In a preliminary game the Salem “B" team trounced the midget redskins to the tune of 27 to 12, a very close score. Monmouth terribly wapoes braves 27 to 43. Monmouth high school’s Wolverines defeated Che mawa on Friday, Jan. 11 at Monmouth. The local lads took their really only scoring spree of the season and looped field goals with the accuracy of trap shoot experts. Both teams were evenly matched as far as height was concerned and this made the braves a little over confident because playing a team their size is very seldom and thought they would have an easy time of it but poor Lo was fooled. The game was fast and pretty rough in spots both teams checking very closely but the Wolverines sank the majority of the long shots which the braves could not cope with, the score at the half tallied 29-13. In the final half the two squads battled on even ground each sided scoring 16 points. The braves had an entirely new line-up in this half with La Breche and Spotted Eagle at forwards; Ed Case center; Sam Shoulderblade and Dave Archambeau, guards. In a preliminary game the Chemawa reserve team who lead at half time by the score of 19 to 9 was de feated in the final seconds by one basket to the tune of 28 to 27. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Dec. Dec.
