4 Chemawa American Braves Win One 24-0 The Chemawa varsity destroyed a long football jinx and Kennedy on September 14 in their first home game. The Braves routed the Tro jans 24—0. Big Jimbo Abrahamson, a tackle converted to fullback, picked up 130 yards on 17 carries in his first game as a running back. Keith Kerwin added 74 yards on 13 tries. Abrahamson scored the first touch down on a 15-yard end sweep and added six more points in the final quarter when he smashed over from three yards out on a fourth down play. Lindsey Howtopat took the second half kickoff on his own 37 yard line and ran it 63 yards straight up the middle for Chemawa’s third touch down. Keith Kerwin added six points on three successful conversion runs. Chemawa’s defensive unit made life miserable for the smaller, young er Trojans. Kennedy managed to cross the midfield stripe only once in the entire game. Big Darwin Green scored four Stayton touchdowns and gained more than 100 yards as the Eagles handled the Braves, 47—6. Gary Abrahamson, a tackle con verted to fullback just before the game, carried the ball 19 times for 86 yards, returned two kickoffs for 34 yards and ^cored Chemawa’s only touchdown, but it wasn’t enough. Gary replaced his brother Jimbo at fullback. Jimbo had also been con verted from a tackle spot to run in the backfield, but had been injured against Woodburn, Chemawa’s,touchdown was set up by a long halfback option pass from Andrew Tooyak to Ricky McCraigie. Jayvees K ansased The jayvees dropped a close and unusual game to the Stayton Eagles September 27. After regular playing time had run out, the score stood even, 8—8. They then went into a “ Kansas” overtime but the score at the end of the over time was 14-14. This led to a second overtime under the Kansas rule, which is supposed to apply only to varsity ball. The Eagles scored again to win 29—14. Mr. Markishtum, the new assistant coach, said that he was pleased with the players, and that the only problem is that there are not enough players out for jayvee ball. Some p ¡.ayers play both jayvee and varsity, but he rs mostly concerned with giving the players more experience.

The top five finishers for Chemawa were Bonnie James (1st), Josephine Ayunerak (6th), Tat Andrew (7th), Brenda Stewart (8th) and Emma Leavitt (9 th). “ Brenda Stewart, a freshman, ran really w ell,” commented coach Yvonne Hale. “ This is the first time she has run long distance, and she has made it into our top five.” R u n n e rs T a k e F irs t W in O v e r N o rth M a r io n Chemawa’s cross-country runners won their first home meet by easily whipping North Marion 17-46 Sep tember 17. The Braves finished 1—2—3 and took eight of the first ten places. Sam Beetus, a sophomore, was the individual winner, covering the 2^-mile course in 14:44. Robert Lake and Foster Simmonds took sec ond and third. Ken Morris, Henry Alexie, Stan Johnson, Gary Clark, Johnson Booth, Dan Onalik and Carroll Alexie also ran for Chemawa. In cross-country the low score wins. Each finisher gets a numoer corresponding to where he finishes (1 for first, 2 for second, 3 for third and so on). The numbers for the first five finishers make up the team total. Extra runners do not count on their own team’s score, but they can run up a higher total for the other team.
