The Grizzlies'
preliminaries
are over now and the confer
ence battles have begun. With
a 3-2 win-loss record and a
close decision dropped to Rose
burg, who in turn dropped a
close one to Grants Pass, the
Ashland club wag very hopeful
in regards to the outcome of
last Friday's game. The stun
ning 41-fl loss necessitates
some explanation.

traveling from Montana to
Ashland, William R. Leybold

pair of twins at 4:00 A.M. in
a Salem motel.

The flu bug has been the
nemesis of Oregon high
school football this year. As
usual, it hurts th small
schools the most. Ashland's
bout with the bug slartad
with tha Lakeview gama as
tha players numbly slid a
round ia a driving snow
storm with nothing mora
than short-sleeved rsays

clamant conditi o a s. Fsw
have completaly recovered
from the attar affects and it
has definitely hurt practice
sessions.
As a result, morale as well
as strength was down and un-
fortunately, Grants Pass was
hepped up and their passing
attack was never more deadly,
The return of Al South to
1he ,ctive list on the varsity
has raised morale consider-
ably. With Al back, the flu
huff nut of the wav. and moral
up, the Comets had better
mind their p s and q's in to-
nights game because the team
win be gunning nara 10 re-
aeem tnemseives ana even up
our conference record.
Many favorable comments
on tha football team by an
nouncers and rival coaches
were heard by this reperter
during the warm-up games.
Instead of making snide
comments as a rsult of the
Grants Pass game, it would
be mora fitting and would
- show mora sense for the stu
dent body to turn out en
masse in support of tha team
during tha next three games.
A lot of complaints have
going around about the
execrable condition of the foot-
ball field. It seems that as a getting the TD honors,
result of intensive watering, phoenix offensive move
rainy weather, and four squads ment with three minutes left
(varsity, junior varsity, fresh-
man, and junior high) using it

Remember, we still have
two other athletic aggregations
representing A.H.S. besides

to congratulate them for
their football showings and
eagerly look forward to bas

Pirates Succumb
To Flu-bil Bears
A stubborn band of Pirates
forced Coach Al Simpson to
put ia his flu-ridden first
string before they collapsed to
the tune of 19-6. Playing in a
quagmire before an audience
of Medford and Grants Pass
scouts, the Grizzlies pulled off
no spectacular plays as they
steadily plodded to their third
non-conference victory in five
games.
Jim Matteson took the open

turned it to the 25. From there
it was simply a matter of
