Published by The Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs. Reservation of Oregon. MO. Box 735 Warm Springs, Oregon 97761 The new Madras High School Head Football Coach, 29 year old Rod Chester, feels that the purpose of ath letics is to arrive at personal satisfaction through competi tion. He places emphasis on the concept of competition and upon helping a person learn what his total individual abil ities and committments are. “I don’t think the average youngster in today’s society fully realizes his potential,” said Chester. “So many things are made easy for him, or are done for him. When a person succeeds in a sport, satisfac tion is gained because he knows he’s done it himself.” Chester stressed that he thinks sports have a very im portant place in a person’s life because of the competition. “It’s a chance for an indivi dual to prove himself,” he said. “If a person cannot excel academically, he may be able to do so athletically.” Rod Chester attended Boise Jr. College for two years, Oregon State College for one and a half years, then finished up at the College of Idaho at Caldwell where he received his B.A. in social sciences and business administration. After graduation, he coached football and basketball for one year at Nampa, Idaho, and has taught the last three years at West Albany where he was assistant football and assistant track coach. When asked what brought him to Madras, Chester said he has the impression that this area has a definite winning at titude. “Fred Sandgren also had a great influence on my decision to come here,” he said. Addressing himself speci fically to questions about Warm Springs, Chester said he believes that there are a far by Sandy Rangila ROD CHESTER greater number of fine athletes in Warm Springs than turn out for the High School athletic programs. He said he believes this is true because baseball and other sports programs in Warm Springs are so very successful. Chester said that he hopes his new ideas will stim- - ulate interest in addition to making it fun. The new Head Coach said he plans to use a “slot-I” formation offense, and a “slant-5” defense. He antici pates that the games will be about 60 percent running and 40 percent passing. “Of course we’d be flexible if some kids with terrific passing arms came along,” he said. A weight and conditioning program is built into the prac tice schedule and many par ents will be relieved to know that during practice,’■scrims mage contact instead of full tackling will be used. Chester, his wife Christine, and their 3 ¥2 year old son Justin, are still unpacking, painting, and getting ready for Fall and the start of the new school year. In addition to his new job a&. Head Football Coach, Chester will also be coaching sophomore basket] ball. Besides getting up paren conferences, equipment pickup times, and daily doubles Chester is trying to meet with and talk to as many of the kids who will be in the athleti program as possible. Rod Chester says he likes dealing with younger people and is looking forward to the Fall. “In fact,” he said with a broad smile, “I can hardlj keep my enthusiasm bottle up!” a< P< W( pa da ro sh ar Je C( iN< !pi ta tai ate ¡tei foi COI as pa lllllll■ll■llllllllll■ Wasco County Fair It will be Wasco County’s parade and horseraces is en turn to entertain central Ore couraged.
