PAGE FOUR ROGUE NEWS Friday, March 27. 1953 Grizzlies Murdered In 'Sudden Death' BEAR FACTS Several boys played their final high school basketball game, February 28, In the Junior High School gymna sium. Gregg Lininger, Bob Dels man, Jim Jeffries, Bob Myrick, Bill Welch, Harvey Woods Glen Ingle and Jerry Ward, will be graduating in June, so they were really determined to beat Grants Pass. Although they played a good game, finally after two over times, the Ashland team was defeated by two points. There were many memories for spectators on February 28 when the AHS Grizzlies play ed their last game on the old Junior High court, whcih was one of the finest gyms in the west when constructed in 1920 For many years school auth orities and townspeople won dered if the gym could be fill ed up because of its 1,000 per son seating capacity. But as time progressed, so did basket ball, and now the gym is filled to capacity almost every game. Next years games will be held in the physical education addi tion to the senior high. The Ashland Grizzly track team will have to depend a great deal on some new talent. The only lettermen returning from last year's team are Ken Dailey, Ken Rogers, David Stemple, Kenna Gandee, Clar ence Baker, Jim Jeffries, Larry James, and Ted Tenney. Mel Johnson is again head track coach assisted by Gene Allison. The Grizzlies first competition will be a four way meet between Ashland, Grants Pass, Central Point, and Illinois Valley at Grants Pass on March 27.

The Grizzlies started out with a rush to take a first quarter lead of 11-8 and a half- times margin of 20-13, but the Cavemen romped back in the third period to forge ahead 36 27 on a scoring spree paced by Bill Hansen, who split under-the-basket defenses wide open as the ball-hawking guard was uncanny in hitting the hoop five times from 15 to 20 feet out. Ashland came back in the final quarter to even things at 42-42 and from there on it was first one team ahead and then the other.

Grizzlies Twice by The Klamath Falls Pelicans dumped the Ashland High Grizzlies 66 to 40 to put the I Pels into undisputed second i place in the Southern Oregon conerence.

At the beginning of the game the Grizzlies looked as though things were going to go their way, since they held a 14 to 11 lead by the end of the first period. But the Pels came back in the second quarter to lead 31 to 24 at the halfway mark. Klamath built up a com manding lead in the third quar ter, taking a 48 to 35 bulge as the period ended. In the fourth quarter the Pels provided a strong offense using a two platoon system against the somewhat tired Grizzlies. Doug Pence took high scoring honors of the night with eight field goals and a free throw for a total of 17 points. Ken Young was close behind with 14. Ted Tenney led the Grizzlies with 10 points.
