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.
