loss. 1t has been many day since
the Chieftain has been called upon to
chronicle an event that carried as
much genuine and sincere sorrow into
as many hearts and homes, as will
these few simple lines. For while
there is everything in her life and our
teaching, to convince us that He who
wastes not the rain-drops, the evening
zephyr or a blade of grass, has but
gathered to himself the generous
spirit of our friend after its brief visit,
like a royal guest, to the tenement of
clay, yet our hearts cry out in grief
and lonliness
That the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But Oh, for the touch Of a vanished
hand
And the sound of voice that is
still"

PICKS TEAM

The V. H. S. team and management
are greatly disappointed that they will
not have the opportunity to go against
team from western side of the state
However they have as good a title to
state champs" as any team and are
very proud of the certain title that is
theirs, Eastern Champions"
This has been a most successful sea-
son for our boys and has placed Vinita
well on the map in High School foot
ball circles. The boys deserve much
credit for the way in which they have
worked and there is not man on the
squad, who did not play football, nor
who did not contribute much toward
making possible the success to which
we have attained
The Muskogee Phoenix has chosen
an all star Eastern Oklahoma eleven,
as all can not see alike The Chieftain
has changed the personal of the myth
| ical team somewhat. In making our
selections we have only considered
three teams as we saw only these three
teams play They are Tulsa, Muskogee
and Vinita
j We wish to correct one statement
that has gone abroad. namely that
Cow" Dameron showed up yellow in
his last few games, this is absurd for
any one who has seen this man work
knows lie does not have a particle Of
yellow" in his system. His showing
in the Tulsa game on the whole was
not up to his standard, yet during
the first half of the game he made
good gaines every time he was called
but after that he was unable to get
started II Dameron is yellow every
man on Ninitas team is full of It.

having played good game at full for
that team. As whole there was not

is almost like tossing a coin.
