P age 4 T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN so many games. The school spirit has gone pretty low. If we expect to have any kind of an athletic team we have to give the athletes more support. Chemawa beaten by traditional rival 39 to 20, CHEMAWA FINISHES HOOP SEASON Cemawa defeated badly by Astoria, 44 to 16. Coach Laniard and his hoopsters motored to Astoria on Saturday, March 2nd, and met in combat with the Finnish team of that vicinity. The Fish Peddlers was the best quint that Chemawa encountered this season and are again made up of championship mat terial. They won the tournament last year and it is predicted that they will repeat. The bad score hand ed the braves did not detract from making it interest ing for the braves are unusually fast but failure to take advantage of open shots resulted in the bad score. The Astoria quint are all tall hoopsters and were all taller than our longest buck. With the 6ft. 4in. center the Copperskins received very few of the tip offs. It was an interesting trip for most of the players, who live in parts of Montana and Idaho, where water is scarce and were filled with astonishment at casting their eyes to the mighty Pacific. A fewcould’nt take the 1 o o p s so well and fell victim t o seasickness. However, all reported it to be an adventurous trip. Those who made the trip were: Sam Shoulderblade, Dave Archambeau, William SpottedEagle, Alfred Pep- ion, Matt Adams, George Vanderburg, Joe Russell, Edward Archambeau and Edward Case. Capt. Labreche was unable to make the trip because he used his thumb for a slice of bread on the local bread cutter but managed to save it. Sammy displayed his usual aggressiveness but the youthful copperskin who took the cake was Edward Archambeau, going into the game in the last few min utes garnering 6 of the 16 points. In the last game of the season the Indian braves lost a fast, hard fought game to their traditonal en emy, Salem high school, Friday night, Mar. 9, in the local gym. Salem’s diminutive forward, Cater, was largely responsible for the one-sided score of 39 to 20 by accounting for 17 of the long end. In spite of the score all who attended the game will agree that the Chemawa team put on a fine exhibition. The school spirit was also the best this season. The Campus Trou- badcrs played old Chemawa marches which they re membered while playing in the school band a few years back without any previous rehersal. Sammy Shoulderblade, playing center for the Indi ans’ showed his versatility by holding down his berth in a creditable manner. Dave Archambeau played his usual heads up game and Matt Adams, Capt. LaBreche with a badly mangled thumb; and William Spotted Eagle in their last game for their Alma mater dis played some of the best floor work of the season. The game got off to a fast start and D. Archambeau quickly took advantage of the visitors’ unfamiliarity of our floor and popped one in for the first score. The Salem casaba tossers were not long finding the hoop and ran up a 10-2 lead as the first period ended. In the second period a rally by the Copperskins gave the visitors something to worry about by making a threat to Salem’s comfortable lead. At half time we were on the short side of a 19-10 score. Despite their use of every resource in the game the Vikings could not be stopped by the braves. The game was fast throughout and the rooters were in a frenzy from the second quarter and did not let up even though the braves were trailing. Newberg defeats Chemawa in close game, 26-31* In another chance to enter the district tournament at McMinville, Chemawa lost a hectic game to Newberg on Monday, March 4th. The game was played on a neutral floor at Hubbard, it being a new gym and the second game played there. The game started with a bang and the redskins hoisted in 12 points before Newberg knew we were nobodys green pastures. When the first period ended the score stood 12 to 4, Newberg making their points by foul shots. Thefloor was very slippery and the braves being unusually fast were somewhat handicapped. Players on each team kissed the floor many times before a light remedy was used to check a little of it. There was no let up on the part of the Newberg quint for half of the student body followed their team and the cheering was deaf ening. How many rooters were there for Chemawa? A mere handful. This is the reason our team has lost SUMMARY OF BRONSON TESTS James Kelly has made remarkable achievement having earned a college freshman percentile of 97 on the psychological examination and one of 87 on the cooperative English test. His 12th grade rating on the total score of the English examination was 92 and on the vocabulary section alone 99. It was the usage sec tion of this test in which he obtained the lowest score, but even on this test he ranks above the mediam for 12th grade students. His are the highest scores which we have yet recorded for an Indian student. Although James Kelly has taken first place on the two examinations there are many students who have obtained superior scores on all or some parts of the tests. There are in all on each examination seven scores which are higher than the norm which represents the mediam for college freshman; four students have sur-' passed the college freshman mediam on both examina-* tions. • . • :
