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.

Robert
Lake and Foster Simmonds took sec
ond and third. Ken Morris, Henry
Alexie, Stan Johnson, Gary Clark,

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.
