SPORTLIGHT
By DAVID JOHNSON
Weaving through a field of
defeat and double spaced vic
tories, the Ashland Llthlans, af
ter a season of doubtful hoping,
intermingled with the age-old
desire to squelch the Medford
Tigers, went down to defeat and
losa of the Copco trophy.
The first game with Medford,
doubtless the most Important
cne of the series, win or lose,
was fought out to a tragic fin
ish on the local floor the night of
February 26. The Ltthians played
well, but not well enough to
take the snarry feline aggrega
tion from the center of our pear
Industry. The Tigers were un
doubtedly entitled to the game. !
Ashland took the lead for a mo- j
ment in the first quarter. The
lead was maintained for two or
three minutes but was broken
by a Medford score and was
never regained. The score at the
end of a fast and thrilling quar
ter was S to 12, in favor of
Medford. The second quarter was
very rough, crammed with toss
ups and fouls, with the players
working in a back and forth
fashion. Ashland showed a bet
ter co-ordination in the way
of taking passes and scoring
field goals. They ran up six
points to Medford's five, making
the score at the end of the quar
ter to 17. but still In favor
of the Tigers.
With the half coming up, and
a chance of evening the score, of
bringing the Llthlan bandwagon
to the head of the parade, per
haps, the Grizzlies went into It
for all that they were worth.
It was all to no avail. There
was. Indeed, no stopping the
Medford squad. The score at the
end of the third quarter was 12
to 22. Howell and Becot were
handicapped with personal fouls,
and were afraid to throw them
selves Into the game with their
usual abandon.
The fourth and last (period was
the tightest and most dismal
of them all. Ashland scored not
a single point, and Medford roll
ed In eight more field goals. The
score at the end of the game was
12 to 30, in favor of Medford
The second game with the Cats
was played In Medford. on the
new high school floor, March 4.
From the standpoint of evenens.
It was much better than the pre
edtng contest. The final score
was 21 to 28, In favor of the
Tigers.
Ashland fans were Immeasure
ably disappointed when the Llth
iens failed by the narrow margin
of seven points, to come throueh
with a victory. It was fully ex
pected that the Grizzlies would
trounce the Medford champions
la the last game of the year and
season.
The game was good from the
technical standpoint of Ash
land's playing. Although, look
ing at Medford's record of er
rors for that night. It would
seem that the Llthians should
have won. But Howell, had three
personals called on him by a
referee whose judging was at
times a bit vague, before the
second quarter was over. The
score was, at the end of the
second period, 10 to 14, in favor
of Medford. If Wardlow had
been able to put himself Into
the game, body and soul, without
fear of being expelled if another
foul wag committed, the outcome
would have been decidedly a
different one.
Becot also had three peritonei
fouls called. He was giving his
best in an excellent series of
tries for 'joint. Without this ,
flashy lad from the Bay region j
at forward, the game of Satur-!
day night would have been a!
much sadder on ) for Ashland, i
But personal fouls are bad; they'
hold one back. '
But Ashland, with ull this,
against them, tied Medford down!
to the same four point lead for
tho entire third quarter. The
tally at the end of this period !
was 17 to 21. j
Here was the crucial moment
The Uthlans could tome back.'
They still had time. They went
Into the fourth quarter flashily,
but the Tigers had pulled them
selves out of their rut of abomi
nable playing by their boot
straps. The Mxdford aggregation
Increased its lead by one point,
and then another, with the Griz
zlies frantically trying to stem
the tide.. But to no use. The
game ended with the score of 21
to 28.
