ATHLETICS SUCCESSFUL FOOTBALL SEASON COMES TO CLOSE Basketball Is Launched W ith 42 Turnouts Chief Wilder and his sun-tanned Am ericans journeyed to Newberg by bus instead of their ponies and swooped down upon the Quacker Missionaries in modern style on Nov. 20th and made the Custer Massacre look like pink tea, so they say . They used everything in the book, and much that would make coaches of more orthodox teams writhe in anguish, as they ran Pacific College bowlegged in what developed in a track meet. With their inate love for deception and their instinct for pulling the unexpected, they executed spectatular laterals, rever ses, and end runs with reckless abandon. After Pacific had scored in the third quarter, Chemawa dusted off their pet play and took the lead by receiving the kick off, executing a short lateral, and sending a stocky warrior streaking down the side-line to cross the goal line stand ing up, not even faintly menaced by the Pacific defense. Pacific rang up their touchdown after a determined march down the field. A pass, Kendal to Putman, clinched the ex tra point. The score came a few min utes of the second half. The kick off return for 75 yards and a line buck for the extra point brought the score 13 to 7 for Chemawa. The braves brought the score to the 20 to 7 mark by shoving down the field, interspersing trick plays with line bucks that brought them first down after first down. The final score pf the game came just before the final whistle when Pacific in desperation began to fling passes. After several had fallen to the ground, incom plete or knocked down, a long pass rest ed in the arms of a little fleet-foot brave by the name of “ jelly” Jackson and he ran 55 yards to make the final score 26 to 7. Another hair-raising Chemawa stunt involving a forward and two lateral pass es, heading for scoring territory but was called back. COTTAGE GROVE IS NO MATCH FOR KNIFE LIKE THRUST OF BRAVES “ Lefty” and his squad of ‘Indian braves’ journeyed to Cottage Grove on Thanksgiving day to defend their record. They accomplished it by winning the fifth straight game with some of the toughest teams. The braves opened the game by kicking off to ’their opponents who had the record of being defeated but once all during the season. The pale faces made a first down or two by straight power plays, but were soon stopped by the Redskins. The Cottage Grovers punted after failing to make any more yardage. This was an advantage for thé Indians but they couldn’t click for some unknown reason all during the first half, but did succeed in making one touch down and extra point. After a good talking too from Coach Wilder and Mr. Sanders and b e i n g warmed up, they reached down in their “ jeans” and brought forth a bag of tricks. These they put into use in the second half and kept th eir' opponents dumbfounded for the rest of the game, which ended 32 to 0 for the Redskins. Basketball Turnout With .seven lettermen returning and forty-two new faces appearing, Coach Wilder is expecting to develop a fast breaking basketball team. The lettermen are George Christian and Roy Track, guards; Herman Red Elk and Noble Sandervillie, centers; George Bostwick, Raymond Track and Edward Archambeau, forwards. Some of the other fellows of last year’s second ‘string’ and new fellows who may win a place on the varsity are: Robert Greene, Raymond Track, Oscar Moses, Adam Bearcub, Ernest Bighorn, Irving Dowd. YW CA Notes Under the leadership of Miss Agues Thorpe, the YW girls have learned what a personality means and how girls are judged by their character traits.
