THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN.
of man in the team there seemed to be so
many of hitn. Davis, as captain, showed
good generalship besides making some
touchdowns. All the team played well
both on the offencive and defencive as
McMinnville were unable at any stage of the
game to make their yardage. Once they got
the ball within one yard of Cbemawa's goal
line but were unable to advance the pig
skin the necessary 36 inches. The first half
was spoiled by unnecessary wrangling; the
last half was better and both teams played
good ball. The most seusational piay of
the gam was made in the last kick off by
McMinnville, with just 30 seconds to play
they kicked to Schilt who advanced five
yards.then returned the kick; McMinnville
tried to catch but missed and Moon picked
up the ball and carried it over the line for
a touchdown, ending the game.
The home team played fair ball but
lacked team work. With proper coaching
and drill they will be heard from later on.
STRIKES OUT FOR HIMSELF.
, Alpheus Dodge, an old Chemawa boy who
learned the harness-making trade here, and
h ts successfully filled the position of
harness-maker for several years at Ft.
Belknap school, Mont , writes to Supt.
Potter that he has cut loose from Uncle Sam
and is running a harness shop of his own
at Harlem, Mpnt He has a $3000 stock on
hand and is working up a good business.
Nothing couid please us more. We would
earnestly advise every ymug man, Indian
or white, to et into business for himself as
soon as possible and let the other fellow
work for a salary. There has been too
great a tendency to train Indian students
with the idea that a government position is
the great goal to which they should aspire.
It would be much better for any young
man to launch out for himself in some
good business, such as farming, dairying,
st ck-raisiug, blacksmithing, carpentering,
or harness making rather than dang on
Uncle Sam's coat-tails,fil II iug some position
where the salary is not great and he will be
likely to spend all he earns.
