basketball.
Oar g'.rls took the lead from the start
and at the end of the first half the score
stood 7 to 2 in our favor. Our girls
showed by their clean and last playing

clined to play a little rough. Fifteen
and twenty minutes halves were played
and at the end of the gnme the final score
stood 27 to 11 in our favor.

The boys' second basket-ball team of
Chemawa lost only three games out of
nine, this season. M.'W.
We like to win games, but when we
lose we like to lose like good sportsmen.
A clean fair game is ennobling. That's
why athletics are encouraged by the
management of schools and colleges.
"Hurrah" for our Girls' B. B. team
who defeated the Monmouth Normal,
the score being eleven to twenty seven.
They were very much encouraged by
their first game and intend to have a
better record than the boys again this
year. E. B.
Our girls' basketball team left at
eleven o'clock this morning for Corval
lis, where they will play the strong State
Agricultural team. Mrs. Theisz chaper
oned the party.
Last Saturday, our basketball boys
went up to town to play the South
Salem School, and our second team was
badly defeated by the South Salem
bovs. V. L.
