TH E CHEMAWA AMERICAN
SPORTS REVIEW . . . By Eickmeyer
Boxing
The Chemawa Indian boxing team took five boys
to Portland on Febuary 27, to box in Portland Mult­
nomah club’s Flying "M” gym. O f the boys mak­
ing the trip Art Johnson and Francis Cherette were
the only Chemawa boys represented in the ring for
the evening. Francis Cherette, 112-pound class, lost
to Bob Henry of the P. A. Y. club. Art Johnson
fought a thrilling bout to walk away with the cup
in the 135-pound bout.
On the same evening four Chemawa boys went to
W oodburn and fought in the W oodburn high school
gym. Curtis Stacona won by a decision over his
man in the 115-pound class. Bob Kutch won by a
decision in the 126-pound class. Joe Pinkham de-
cisioned his opponent in the 147-pound class, and
Gene Lahr won by a K.O. in the second round of
his bout.
On March 13, 14, 15, Chemawa’s boxers went to
Portland to fight for a chance to make the trip to
Boston for the National A A U Championship. O1
the boys from Chemawa, Ralph Weiser, 135-pound
class, put his brother Lorenteno down for the count
in the third round of their fight on the final night
ot the fights and is Boston-bourd.
Track
Track call has been sounded and the boys are
piling out. Old hands and new hands are coming
out on call. Cal Picard will take care of Chemawa’s
hurdles, high jum p, and pole vault; Wally Yallup
is master in dashes; Fred "A rne” Anderson will
handle the half mile; while Zeke Towner and Bob
Eickmeyer will take care of the mile. Terry Francis
and George Miller should handle the discuss fairly
well, also shot put. All the above-mentioned boys
are from last years’ Duration championship team
and the team needs new material to fill the places
of members not returning from last years’ squad.
Baseball
At the first signs of spring the boys who were base­
ball minded were seen out limbering up their arms
and getting in shape for the season of baseball ahead
of them. Some of the boys from last year’s team seen
out were Chet Ashman, last year’s pitcher; Levi
A
Wison, veteran catcher; Tommy Williams, George
Miller, Fred Miller, Levi George, Joe Pinkham, and
a few others of last year’s players and also a few new
faces in the baseball line. These boys who are out
for baseball this spring should keep Chemawa’s
name near the top this year in the league.
Home Economics
Interviewing in the homeeconomics building the
senior reporter brought this information about the
different classes:
The senior girls under the tutorship of Mrs.
James are making a variety of articles for their
wardrobe. Casual suits are the item of popularity.
T he junior girls, under the direction of Mrs.
Cronk, are entering the practice house soon for a
period of three weeks. They will go in groups of
three.
While in the house they will do their own cook­
ing, house cleaning, and laundry. Right now they
are specializing in preparing dainty lunches.
The sophomores with Mrs. James are reviewing
and making blouses. Soon they shall be making ar­
ticles of a more complex nature.
The 8th grade girls are planning and preparing
breakfasts.
Educational Trips
The junior and senior high school students have
taken some veiy interesting educational trips dur­
ing the past month. Miss Dodrill with her seventh
grade students visited the School for the Blind and
the Deaf school. Miss Ziebach and the eighth grad­
ers visited the School for the Blind and the Deaf
school. Miss Morse with the juniors visited Fair-
view home, she also accompanied the seniors on a
trip to the State Penitentiary.
Ag Club Room
(Continued from page 1)
The boys are proudest of all of the fireplace. It
is made of cut stone and was a big job. O ther than
the throat of the fireplace the boys, under supervi­
sion, did most of the work, from hauling the rock
and laying the foundation and hearth to cutting
the stone and laying the inside rock work.
Their next step is to get it furnished as they have
planned. This will require some money and they are
busy formulating plans as to how this money can
be raised.
