------- ■ ---------; 8 = ------- Summary of Sport Activities Salem Vikings Massacre Indians The Viks of Salem high rambled as they liked to a 40-0 victory over the Chemawa Indians on Sweetland Field last Friday, October 25th. It was the fifth straight win of the year for the Salem preppers. Chemawa did not furnish much opposition, since they were outweighed about twenty pounds to the man. On the open ing kick-off Salem marched 77 yards in 11 plays for the first touchdown, with Pearmine plowing the final 20 after snaring Simmons’ pass, hurled 20 yards from the Chemawa 40 yard line. Che mawa penetrated no further than the Salem 27 yard line, and that ended Chemawa’s scoring threat. It was just no competition for the Viks, and they remain unbeaten in the race for the State football championship. Independence Bows to Braves Rebounding back from their defeat by Salem, Coach “ Bunny” Bennett’s Braves won their first victory of the season when they defeated Inde pendence 7-0. The game was evenly matched until Chemawa got a“ break” when Saluskin, right tackle of the Indians, blocked the Hopsters attempted punt on the 1-yard line, and Beaudry, -sub-halfback, car ried the ball over for the only touchdown and al so for the extra point. The game was played on the Independence gridiron. The next game for the Braves is with Tillamook Cheese Makers on Sanders’ Field, Nov. 8. “ Old Fellows” to T ry Luck The boys that could not participate in high school competition are forming an All-Star team to be coached by “ Lefty” W ilder, onetim e star, in his days, and former coach. “ Lefty” was sur prised to see some of his former stars and players turning out again.
