A SPORTS
BEAR'S DEII
By Larry Kerr
Once again we find Ash
land's spring sports, baseball
tennis and track are in pro
gress. Coach Snuffy Smith has a
fin nucleus of able lelier
men and a large turnout of
freshmen to work with in
baseball. All of this young
talent is going to pay big
dividends for Ashland's base
ball hopes in the future.
In track. Coach Mel John
son's relay teams comprised of
Stuart Baker, Harry Johnson,
Dale Jeffers, Verle Yates and
Jim Witt have been looking
partcularly good. Also, Dick
Schulz and Gene Parent have
been puting on fine perform
ances in the high jump every
meet. Schulz has already clear
ed 5' 11" twice this year.
This year's tennis team seems
to be comprised of mostly sen
iors, yet Coach Robert Todd
pointed out that many fresh
men, sophomores and juniors
were on the tennis ladder and
that an extensive amount of
match play was constantly go
ing on.
So far Medford seems to be
dominating the conference in
track and tennis and leading
along with Grants Pass in
baseball. Medford is once
again the choice of most ex
perts to win the state track
championship, with Rose
burg loming as a contender.
A new type of intramural
game has been introduced by
Al Simpson this year. This
game, called "Whisket," is
played with nine men and
seems to represent a type of in
door baseball game. All inter
ested contact Coach Simpson.

from third following an Ash
land bobble. His second triple
was followed by a single from
the Crater pitcher, Fred Her
mann, sending Johnson home
with the last Crater tally.
