Just one week prior the OAC girls
were defeated by the girls from Chema
wa 21 to 4. Last night the tables were
turned and in a game that greatly su
prised the OAC supporters, Chemawa
was defeated, by the team they had pre
viously vanquished, by the score of 9 to
(i. . -; : : i r
Chemawa's fast team was simply lost
on our floor and although they had many
splendid opportunities they could not
roll up the score. Both teams were
evenly matched and the game was hard
fought throughout.
The game was a little rough at times,
both teams being very anxious to win.
Seventeen fouls were cm 1 led, nine on
Chemawa, and eight on OAC. Two bask
ets were thrown by Chemawa in the first
half and one in the second. OAC threw
three baskets in the rirst half but was
unable to throw any in the second. Two
points were made by OAC on fouls and
one extra point was a warded them by
the umpire.
The Indian girls played good consist
ent ball a? did the OAC team. For
Chemawa the work of their guards is es
pecially commendable. They were al
ways with their opponents and caused
them no little worry. Their forwards
only permitted the OAC team to throw
three baskets.

afford greater protection to the American
