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.
