Track Season
Here Again
The track season is here again and
the team is working out so they will
be in shape for the coming meets.
The 1970-71 season will continue un
til May 20th. This is the day after
graduation.
This year’s strong events will be
the long distance running. This will
be from the 440 on up to the two mile.
Our shotput and discus should be
pretty tough.
These strong events will offset
weaknesses in the sprints and jump
ing events, where there are plenty of
entrants, but almost no experience.
We have a pretty good Freshman
turnout that ran cross-country for us
at the beginning of the year. Dale
Simpson, Del Okboak, and Tim Kochu-
tin are part of the Freshman group.
William Albert will dominate the d is
cus, shotput and high hurdles for
Chemawa.
We hope for a very successful sea
son this year, with the support of the
Chemawa Student Body.

largest in the district. With the new
mat, the Braves hope u. schedule
many more home matches next season.
At the district meet Alvin Charley
finished in fourth place in the 178-
pound division, and Roland Andrew

C hurch Team s EodSeason
Almost sixty boys from Chemawa
took part in the church basketball
program in Salem this winter. The
school sponsored four teams, one each
from Brewer, McNary and Mitchell
Halls, and one representing the
Chapel.
Each team had from twelve to six
teen boys playing, and the teams were
part of several leagues ranging in age
from primary school to adults. The
Mitchell Hall team played in one of
the junior leagues. The Brewer and
Chapel teams played against high
school competition and the McNary
team competed against the adults.
Reverend McCray also emphasized
that the church teams were a testing
ground for future varsity players, and
that several members of this year’s
varsity and junior varsity got their
start playing in the church leagues.
There were over 80 teams in several
leagues, and all the Chemawa teams
did a good job. The Chapel team
won 18 out of 22 games played and
were the only team to beat the city
high school champions. They played
in the toughest high school league
and finished second.
The McNary
and Mitchell teams also had good
records.
To be eligible for the church team,
the boys had to take part in some kind
of church activity twice a month; how
ever, this rule was not enforced as
strictly as it was in the past. “ The
main purpose is to get them off campus
and have them meet and play against
people from the city,” said Reverend
McCray, who coached the Chapel
team and sponsored the project. The
boys were also expected to show a
high level of sportsmanship and to
plays fairly and cleanly at all times.
The church league teams hosted an
all-Indian tournament here on the cam
pus March 20th.
Steve Jane g>..bs a rebound for the
Chemawa freshmen during a recent
game. Steve is one of the many frosh
players that should help the varsity
and junior varsity next year.
