I INDUSTRIAL NOTES
Ignatius Bart will soon be thro with
an extra heavy set of work harness.
William Watkins has entered the
blacksmith shop we all hope he will be
a first class blacksmith.
Mike Smith surprised some of the tail
or boys who have been at the trade longer
than he has by the neat work he turned
out.
May Mercier is now working in the
dining hall and by the way she works
any one can see that she enjoys wording
there.
Frank J. Sorahan, who has been here
at Chemawa about four years is doing
nicely in the blacksmith shop and he is
now studying about hor6e shoeing.
Mr, John Beck promised the tailors a
prize who will make the best pants and
coat; so all the tailors are working for
the prize.
Some of the tailors have done some
very neat work which will give them
their standing for the contest that is go
ing on at the tailor shop.
Fred Dick is very busy working at
Union suits he is doing nice work and he
hasn't been there long but a few weeks;
and he will soon be working on pants.
Snow and sleet in Portland but not
any in Chemawa just yet and I hope we
do not get any because the . plumbers
have enough work now from the last
freeze.
George Scott cut out five pairs uniform
trousers last Monday during his period
of work in the shop. Mr. Beck says
that George will make a good cutter if
he will only stick to it long enough .
ATHLETIC
The boys' basketball team is now go
ing through some light practice, as they
have games in sight.
The Chemawa first basketball team
will go to Eugene next Thursday to'play
with the Eugene High School.
The girls' basketball team are still
hard at work; and are in hopes of meet
ing the splendid team from Corvallis,
who has had the pleasure of beating our
girls once already. They are not only
anxious to play Corvallis, but they are
prepared to meet any team of girls in
the State, barring no one.
We will not hesitate to say that we
have one of the fastest teams in the state
and our way of proving this, is, for every
team that we have send challenges to,
accept our challinges, and we would
certainly play basketball.
The baseball outlook for the coming
season is not so bad, as most of our last
year's players are here, and by careful
training and practice, there is no reason
why we can't turnout a fast team. Joe
Teabo, our veteran ball player, will be
acting again "backstop," Casey and
Washoe will do the twirling stwnts.
On the "Initial Bag" we still have our
"Elonagated" Rube Saunders; on second
Joe Lane is a clean fielder and coveis
plenty of ground; short and third are as
yet vacant, but there are many good
candidates for these two important posi
tions. In the out field, Levi Sortor,
Thomas McCully, and Ernest David,
can hold their own in any Amateur team.
By the loss of two players the team
was not weakened to such a great exten
Of course we do not expect to do won
ders, but we will assure all opposing
teams, that we are in the game, for the
sport.
