region for Christmas. He happened to be
in Rumania when word came asking him
to come. He left at once, coming across
Europe by train, crossing the ocean to
New York, crossing the United States by
train to Seattle, taking a boat to an Alas­
kan port and then he had to finish the
trip, which was three hundred miles on
snowshoes. He made the trip with a
few days to spare.
Alongwith his story, Mr. Douglas had
many interesting objects to illustrate the
life in the frozen North. * He had the
hide of a large timber wolf, moccasins,
snowshoes, a gold pan, nuggets of gold,
a coat worn by the Eskimos and gloves.
His speech was greatly enjoyed by
everyone who had the opportunity to
listen.
ATHLETICS
BRAVES BOW TO SALEM
IN GAME WITH RIVALS
On Saturday night, Oct. 10, under the
arc lights of Sweetland Field, the Red­
skins were again defeated by the fighting
Vikings of Salem High. The score stood
20 to 0 when the final whistle blew.
Chemawa won the toss-up and choose
to receive. Smith received the pigskin
on his 15 yard line and ran it back to his
own 20. Chemawa’s running plays were
clicking smoothly, which put the ball on
Salem’s 20 yard line. The Indians big
chance of scoring failed. Salem’s ball
on its 20. The first quarter ended 0-0,
played mostly in,Salem’s territory.
Salem scored the first touch-down
when a poor punt resulted. The Indians
received and immediately marched down
the field. Three running plays and a
pass from Smith to Mail put the pigskin
on Salem’s 15 yard line. The Redskin’s
chance of scoring and probably tieing
the score again failed when the half
ended. At half time, the score stood 7-0,
with the Indians edging the Vikings in
ground gaining.
The Vikinas came back strongly and
put over a touchdown 'in the latter part
of the third quarter with power plays
through center and off tackle. Another
touch-down resulted when a pass from
Chapman to an eligible end was good
for 15 yards, which put the ball on Che­
mawa’s 15 yard line. Chapman scored
the final touchdown after three line bucks
through off tackle.
Both teams were evenly matched, with
each te.am having fast backfield men, but
Salem had a little advantage over the
Redskins in having a heavier line.
The game drew a large crowd, and
was exciting throughout. Track played
a good defensive game in the line and
Smith was the main ground gainer, who
was hard to bring down. Chapman was
outstanding for Salem.
Chemawa Defeats Tillamook
In Close game, 4-0
On Friday, October 3, the Indians out
run, out passed, and out played the
strong Tillamook Hi team on our home
field. Coach Warren “ Lefty” Wilder’s
pigskin toters were just too big a prob­
lem for the Cheesemakers. For the first
quarter Captain Ray Track lost the toss
and the Indians kicked off to Tillamook;
the kick by “ Legs” Sanderville went
to the 5 yard line, where a Tillamook
back grabbed it and returned it to his 29
yard stripe. The game then seesawed
back and/forth with Gerald Smith and
Matt Adams doing the majority of the
ground gaining. This went on until
the quarter ended.
The second quarter began with the
ball in Chemawa’s possession and in
Tillamook’s territory. “ Connie” Mail,
quarterback, then piloted his big red
team down the field in a 40 yard drive
to a touchdown. The try for extra
point was wide, making it 6-0 in favor of
the braves. The game again settled
down to a hard grueling contest, ending
at half time with the ball again in enemy
territory.
During the final period Coach Wilder
sent several of his Hotshots into the
game. Outstanding plays in this quart­
er were made by Adam Bearcub who
blocked the entire interference on an
end run, and the terrific tackling of
Herman RedElk. Other men who made
excellent showings were Track, S|nith,
Adams, Moses, Christian, Strom,- Mail,
Patton, Charley, Sanderville. The game
ended with the Warriors still holding
the whip hand. Final score, Chemawa
6—Tillamook 0.
Pacific College Is Victorious^?
In Close Battle f i ®
' - _____■ , '
The Indian braves went dowti before
the Pacific College football team here at
Chemawa last Friday afternoon to the toll
of 6-0. The game started with both
teams seesawing back and forth on the
field. Then suddenly one of the Pacific
men galloped down the field in the latter
part of the first quarter for the one and
only touchdown in the game. They tried
a line plunge, but failed to make the extra
point. From then on the game was close
with both teams trying^hard to score. Al­
though the boys threatened a few times
to score but the attempts were all in vain.
There were some nice runs by Smith
and Adams for the braves but as a whole
both teams played slovenly ball.
