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.

It was in the second over
time, which is "sudden death"
and the ball game was all tied
up at 50-all. A sophomore
guard, who had previously
missed a pair of free throws
which woud have given the
Cavemen the ball game. But
he came rig it back to sink a
ten foot fieli goal to beat the
Grizzlies 52 50.
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. Jim Jeffries missed
two shots from the free throw
lane that would have iced the
contest for the 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. The Ashland loss
puts the Grizzlies down in the
cellar with Grants Pass, which
was two-timed over the week
end by the Medord Black Tor
nadoes who cinched the league
crown with its victory over the
Cavemen.
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.
