- FOOTBALL.
With the rainy season now on foot
ball, is in the height of its glory. This
rain will help our gridiron, as it will
soften the ground, and when one hoy
falls with 21 boys falling over him he
will just be pushed into a soft bed of
mud. -
.The football situation at Chemawa
remains just about the same as is was
a. week ago. Of course practice has
been the order and several changes
have been ' n-fl.de j but as far as selecting
a team goes nothing has been done.
The number of candidates have dropped
to about twenty men and all have taken
their turns in the various positions.
Signal practice continues and both
squads are using the same signals and are
getting along as well at can be expect
ed without any aid from a coach.
Last Saturday a practice game . was
held between the first and second squads
. and from start to finish there was some
thing doing. Several of the new men
showed up in good style. Among them
John Mason half back and Fred Bain
at an end did some good work ' and are
now on the first squad. The team is
not picked y et, so boys, there is a chanee
for you to make good if you - will only
stay with it and work hard. David
Graham has been elected captain for
the season and will be ably assisted by
Michel Wilson.
