Eldon Crawford. Ernest Waliner. 16 THE YEAR’S ATHLETICS The first night after school began. Sept. 2nd. found the football team hard at work even though it was very warm. The veterans left from other years were Captain Cole, Brooks. Sands, Ramberg, Howe and Cowan. The other players who came out were H. Peterson, Crawford, Harbolt. Kasbey, Achen. Montgomery, D. Butcher, Hollenberger, Barber. Henson, Noyes. L. Butcher, Wallner, L. Peterson. Lehfeldt. The first game of the season was with Big Sandy, at that place. They had a large, heavy team but ours was too speedy for them and won 20-0. However, many weak points were discovered in our manner of playing. In the first home game with Harlem the next week, which was won 30-7. the team showed much improvement. On the following week Fort Benton came here only to be completely overwhelmed—63-6. The team showed the best offensive of the season in this game and hopes for district championship ran high. The team met their first defeat the following week when Havre came down and won 40-19. Our boys were unable to stop their line bucks in the first half. Our team outplayed them In the second half, but the rally came too late. However, the boys were confident they could win the return game. The teams were evenly matched but there were several breaks In Havre’s favor in the first half with the result that we lost the second Havre game 22-12. The season was completed by going to Harlem. After a hard and heart-breaking battle we lost 13-12. The game was so close that the outcome was in doubt up till the time the final whistle blew. There was to have been a game with Big Sandy the following week, but it was called off because of snow. On the whole the football season of ’24 was successful, as Chinook was promoted to Class A and the last two games were lost by the breaks in luck going to the other side. The team made a name for itself because of its speed and fight and Captain Cole was given honorable mention for the all state team. Shortly after the close of the football season. basketball started and about twenty-five aspiring candidates turned out for Coach Sanders, from which the squad was cut to ten. Those who took part in the games were: Cole. Crawford. Brooks. Wallner, Achen, Barber. Easbey. Hollenberger. L. Peterson and Murphy. After a beating at the hands of the alumni. 7-3. the Chinook quintet met Big Sandy, winning an easy victory 26-9. The Dodson game which followed was one of the most unusual ever seen here. The first half ended without a score, due to close guarding, and when the final whistle blew the boys had lost by one point. Dodson winning 2-1. On the 23rd of January, the team went on a trip, repeating their victory at Big Sandy 23-11. The next night they lost a close game to Havre. 12-5. in a rough, hard-fought contest. The following week Shelby came here. The boys could not get started in this game although in the final quarter they outplayed Shelby by far; they lost 17-10. The Centerville game took two extra periods to decide. Chinook kept the lead most of the game, but Centerville won in the second extra period 13-11. It proved to be the most exciting game of the season. The same week the team went down to play our ancient rival. Harlem. Their fast team, later to be district champions, clearly outplayed our boys and won 23-7. In the return game the following week the team kept on even terms with them in the first half but blew up in the second with the result that Harlem won 22-4. On February 17 the team went to the district tournament. Due partly to the fact that four men were semi-invalids, and partly to the fact that they drew an exceptionally hard schedule, both games were lost. The team met Great Falls first and after giving the Falls a hard run in the first half they lost 22-8. loosing to the Falls placed Cho-teau next on the schedule. Although the boys put up a hard fight. Choteau’s rangy team, one of the best in the district, came out on the long end of a 27-13 score. Havre came here the next week but owing partly to the fact that three regulars could not play because of flu. Havre won 14-2. The Junior High had a team coached by Mr. Zimmerman which lost two games to Havre, and won one and lost ohe from Harlem. There were also inter-class games for those who did not make the squad, among which the Junior-Senior team won the championship. Much credit is due to our very efficient and much beloved coach. Vernon Sanders, for our showing in both football and basketball. Both football and basketball prospects for next year are much brighter than they were for this year because this year the teams consisted of nearly all new and inexperienced men whereas next year the lineups will be practically the same. For huHKct.mll there will also be a new gymnasium where five nights a week can be spent instead of three, which was such a handicap this year to say nothing ot the disadvantage of playing with a low ceiling as we have been compelled to do in the past. Although track work has not yet been started. Chinook’s prospects look very bright, especially in the sprints, at this date of writing. The track team will first meet Havre and Harlem in a triangular meet at Chinook and will then compete for the district championship. Hopes are high at present of winning both of these meets. The purpose of these athletic contests is not so much the winning of a prize, or a desire for victory as to expand our lungs to their full capacity and stretch our muscles. Health is the vital principle of life and we play for health so that win or lose each must feel it a personal victory if he has done his utmost to attain this desired end. -------c h s.------ The Toolish Dictionary Veranda—An open enclosure often used as a spoon-holder.

GIRLS’ BASKET BALL SQUAI). Loft to right Anna Maney. Anna Dowen. Grota Sands, Esther Anderson (Coach), Loretta Kuhr, Florence Campbell, Kathleen Cooper. May, 1925 THE LETTER GIRLS Just one minute left! Already thq score has been tied twice. The breathless coach clenched her lists, and swayed forward with encouragement to a nearby girl. Calmly and unconcerned the time keeper placed the whistle to his lips and counted the seconds. It was a tie ball right under the enemies’ goal. With all the strength left in her, our guard knocked the ball into the waiting hands of our center. With only a moment’s hesitation she dribbled once and threw the ball into the hands of our best forward who had stationed herself almost directly under the basket. A shout of cheer rose from the crowd. Carefully she aimed for the basket. The ball whirled daringly several times around the loop. With the frantic crowd almost in the middle of the floor, the ball fell through the net. and the final whistle blew. It was just such games as this that our girls fought to gain new laurels for C. H. S. Every girl put her whole heart and soul into the light. Each victory meant points toward gaining a letter, signifying her worth of wearing the colors of our school. What girl doesn’t show her letter with the greatest of pride? It is an honor gained only by hard work and clean and skillful playing. The girls played twenty-eight quarters in all. Those who played fourteen or more quarters were awarded a letter April 15th. before the high school assembly. Loretta Kuhr. Greta Sands and Anna Dowen proudly wear their letters with twenty-eight quarters to their credit. Anna Maney exhibits hers to the tune of twenty-one quarters. We see Florence Campbell demonstrating hers and telling of the seventeen quarters she stacked for herself. Kathleen Cooper, small but sweet, wears a letter with fifteen well-fought quarters to her name. Juanita Harbolt, a veteran in basketball, although she played only five quarters this year was awarded a letter because she was prevented from taking part in the other games due to an injury received at Big Sandy, the first game of the season. Only the girls that have earned the letters are entitled to wear them and thus it is with the greatest pride that they bear the colors of dear old C. H. S. given them for irood service in basketball. ------c.h.s.----- BASKET BALL “BUZZETS” So you have heard about the bluffin’, battlin’ five too. huh? O. I'll say there’s nothing slow about the girls’ basket ball team. Now if you will sit down a minute and let me talk. I'll tell you all about them. Let’s see—practice began Dec. 5 and they were pretty much surprised at the number of girls who turned out. There were twenty, one “score at the beginning. Isn’t it strange how scores can turn out? After several weeks of practice the first team was chosen. Miss Anderson as coach showed a great deal of interest in the girls. She scheduled inter-class games as a means of practice, and giving her help in choosing her first team. The Jolly Jazzy Juniors put one over and blossomed forth with the laurel wreath. THE CHINOOK BREEZE There was great excitement at school on January 23. This was a red letter” day for the girls’ basket ball team. They were to accompany the boys to Big Sandy. Never before had the Chinook girls played any other team besides our old rivals. Havre and Harlem. Arriving in Big Sandy about three o’clock Friday, January 23, the teams were met at the train by most of Sandy’s high school. The credit has been given the girls as the main attraction—?? With the thrill of a first game the heroic five took their places on the floor with Juanita Harbolt and Anna Maney as forwards. Greta Sands and “Tootie Kuhr as guards, and Anna Dowen as center. What a game! The spectators wondered if the Chinook girls were using the floor as a skating rink instead of a basket ball floor. Disappointed and tearful were the C. H. S. girls when they left the floor with a score of 15 to S in favor of Big Sandy. But due to our hosts’ wonderful spirit of entertaining they soon forgot their defeat and retained only a pleasant memory of the trip. We left Sandy the next noon. Our destination—Havre; our aim—“VICTORY. That afternoon was spent in resting and preparing for the evening game. Notwithstanding the dirty middies and bruises of the night before, we met our rivals with a grim determination. With the excitement at highest pitch the first quarter ended. The score stood thirteen to one in favor of the Orange and Black. The second quarter began with the same line-up. Our speedy Anna Dowen held the honor of center. Anna Maney and Kathleen Cooper as forwards kept Havre’s guards on the jump. Thanks to Greta Sands and Tootie Kuhr. Havre’s forwards were unable to make much progress. When the whistle blew ending the first half, the score stood 17 to 17 and the excitement was at fever heat.” With Juanita Harbolt substituting for Anna Maney the undaunted team finished the second half with a score of 27 to IS in favor of Chinook. 1 tell you. partner, those girls earned every bit of the praise they received. Not one laid down on the job. Two weeks elapsed before the Dodson girls played at Chinook That was another game long to be remembered. It was one of the cleanest and most sportsman-like games Chinook has ever witnessed. Our girls took the defeat of 21 to 14 with a right good will. February 6 found the teams on the way to Harlem. This game was rather slow and Chinook ended the battle with a score of 20 to 17 in its favor. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the feed and dance given by the Home Economics department of Harlem. The next week. February 14th. Harlem played the return game at Chinook. This game has been criticized because of the rough and unsportsmanlike playing of both sides. It was just a “rough and tumble all the way thru. Only time can heal the bruises. Sad but true, the final whistle blew with a score of 9 to 10 in Harlem’s favor. Our girls, however, stood true to their colors and entertained the visitors with a feed and party at the school house. A proud and happy bunch of girls left Chinook February 20. their destination Dodson. The battle was one-sided and Dodson took the crown of victory with a score of 32 to 17. The tragedy of defeat was soon banished when Dodson, with true courtesy, won our everlasting friendship. (Funny how much courtesy means when one is away from home bearing the broken sword of defeat). Our oldest and greatest rival. Havre, played on the Chinook floor February 27. Havre was determined to win. but not more so than Chinook. Practice made a noticeable difference in both teams. All during the game the struggle was keen, but the balancing point was tipped in Chinook'3 (Continued on page eighteen)
