HIGH SCHOOL WINS
AT BASKET BALL
The basket ball season in Southern
Oregon opened Fniday night when
the Jacksonville High School girls
played the Ashland preparatory school
girls. The score being 15 to 3, in favor
of the Jacksonville beauties. None of
the high school girls had ever played a
game of basket ball before the opening
of school, but the way they handled
the Ashland girls points to a team that
will soon be able to beat any team in
this part of the state. Flossie Dun
ford at forward plays a very fine game,
she threw three baskets and five out of
seven fouls,
Vincent an old Ashland
player and manager of athletics for
the Ashland school did no better, he
getting only five out of seven. Keep
your eye on Flossie. Fleta Ulrich also
played a fine game at guard she is not
afraid of getting hurt and wades into
the game like Bridget goes after the
cat. Between her and Francis Kenney
the visiting team was prevented from
getting a single field basket. Francis
threw one very pretty basket just to
show us she knew how. Mary Hester
had a close guard but in spite of that
she threw one basket the first half.
Maude Newbury took her place the
second half, the change being made to
give as many players as possible prac
tice, Maud played ball all the time but
so did her guard. Della Reeve at cen
ter proved to be always the handy girl
and while she threw r.o baskets she
helped on the ones the others threw
