The Chemawa American 4 Basketball Review Although Chemawa dropped its first and third games to the strong Dayton team our hoop artists have done well, winning all other games played, including a Marion "B" league encounter with Hubbard. With Jackson and Crain on the sidelines in the Hubbard game Chemawa had to fall back on the "B" team for substitutes. Omar Winnishut, starting forward, has been retired from the team as he has now reached the age limit for high school competition. The Yakima Indians will be Chemawa's opponents on Christmas day. Following are the games played to date: Chemawa 21, Dayton 26. Chemawa 38, Sublimity 28. Chemawa 20, Day ton 24. Chemawa 45, C. Lukes 32. Chemawa 45, Hubbard 37. AUTO SHOP SETTING UP ENGINE LABORATORY The auto shop has a job of putting a lawn sweeper on a V-8 Ford chassis. This is going to be quite a job. The shop has an engine with a battery electrical system so the class may see how a car runs and how the ignition system operates. They also have another type of engine, a magneto engine. This engine is off an old combirie* machine. It is to be fixed up like the other engine. They are making trans-rear axle cut aways so the mechanics can see how the trans and rear axle operates.
