Varsity
Defeats
Chema:Wa

The Willamette football team Sc
cured the scalp of the red men from
Chemawa to the tune of 20 to 0 in a
fast but one-sided game played on the
varsity field Saturday afternoon.
The Chemawa braves were complete
ly out-generaled by Coach Sweetland's
eleven, and although they fought like
demons from start to finish, the var
9ity lads were entirely too much for
them
The game was replete with spectac-
ular plays from start to finish, such
men as Francis, Rowland, and Frs
kne of Willamette and Saunders,
zones and Walker, of Chemawa, being
continually in the limelight. The tack
ling by the red men was also very
novel, many of them, since they could
not use the flying tackle, which is bar
red by this years rules, would plunge
through the air knocking off his feet
the man carrying the ball, with their
heads and shoulders
Among the features Of the game
were two touchdpwns by forward
passes across the goal line, some long
runs by Erskine and Francis, and sew
eral very clever delayed passes by the
Indians. But straight line bucks and
rlunges, interspersed with end runs
were the main plays used throughout
the game
