CUEriAWA, OREGON,
FRIDAY NOVEMBER 15, 1001.
CI1EMAWA vs. flULTMOMAH.
Score 5 to o.
Multnomah won the foot ball game from
Cheinawa yesterday by a score of 5 to 0.
The visitors put up a fine game from
.start to finish and called forth the club
men's strongest efforts. Several times dur
ing the contest things looked a little du
bious for the wearers of the winged M.
Tin; club eleven scored once, early in the
llrst half, when Downs crossed the Indian
goal line; but after that scoring was im
possible fur either sida, play as they
niht. The day was cold and rainy, and
only u little crowd was present, but it was
1 nthusiastic and there was plenty of cheer
ing. Multnomah's team worK has improved
wonderfully since the game with Oregon,
and the men played together in good form.
Downs, Dolph and McKenzie were the
le.it ground-gainers on the club eleven,
while Pratt, Boss and Van Voorhiss put up
h: roiiir defensive play. Kerrigan ran the
team with good judgment, and played in
his customary style. Chemawa's best all
nroiind men were Sanders, Bishop and
Payne, all of whom made substantial gains
with the ball. Sanders and Bishop in
particular would smash over the Multno
111 ih tackles for big gains, and their spien
!i i p'a ing caused thn wearers of t lie red
mil white to tremble several times.
Payne and Booth put up good defence for
the Indians often smashing through and
Hti'i'ping their opponents before the inter
ference had formed.
(.'I.Kan Spout On Both Sjdks.
The game was oomparatlvely free from
wrangling and dirty plays, and the In
dians accepted their defeat very gracefully.
It is the general opinion that this year's
t leven is the strongest one that Chemawa
m I ool ever put out. Bishop, who played
1 . a ! f bad; yesterday, is coaching the team
and the style of playing has improved con
siderable during the past two weeks. Mult
nomah also is improving in general style
of playing and ought to be in first-class
shape by Thanksgiving day.
Statistics of yesterday's game showed
that Multnomah made 48 plays, advanc
ing the' bal) 98J yards; while Chemawa
made 33 plays gaining 114 yards. Dolph
made five punts, which averaged 25 yards
and Sanders made three averaging 20 yards.
Chemawu was penalized three times for
offsides plays, a total of 24 J- yards, while
the clubmen were not penalized at all.
Chemawu made three costly fumbles, but
Multnomah made none, While Chemawu
gained mure ground than their opponent,
the Indian players did not hold together at
critical moments, and for that reason, nev
er had a chance to score. Officials: McFad
den, of Stanford, and Herdman, of Port
land Academy.
Time of each half, 25 minutes.
The teams lined up as follows:
Story of tiik Game.
Multnomah kicked off to Chemawa and
Bishop and Sanders soon began a series, of
terrible assaults that carried the ball up
past the middle of the field, where it was
lost on ii fumble. Then Multnomah brgan
some systematic attack upon the Indian
line, and, just 11 minutes after play was
called, Downs went over the cbalkline for
the only touchdown of the day. Van
Voorhis failed to kick the goal. During
the remainder of the half, the ball changed
hands several time, but neither goal was
seriously menaced.
The Second Half.
Chemawu kicked off and Multnomah
worked the ball down past the middle of
the field, where Dolph was forced' to punt.
The Indians then braced up and played in
good style, sending Bishop and Sanders ti
gainst the Multnomah line with greatspeed.
Dow us and McKenzie did equally good
work when Multnomah had the bill, and
