Pioneer Family of
Relates Early-Day
Three grinning Indians ap
peared at the window of John
B. Wrisley's home at Table
Rock startling Mrs. Wisley as
she was giving her baby a
bath. . In haste, Mrs. Wrisley
wrapped her baby in a towel.
She cut three pieces of corn
bread, topped them with bacon,
and handed them to the three
Indians. The Indians promptly
turned and walked away. Mrs.
Alice Will its, grandmother of
Billy Willits, freshman, and
granddaughter-in-law to Mrs.
Wisley related this story of
early Oregon.
Amos Willits, first of the
Willits family to come West,
arrived in Ashland from Iowa
about 1878. He had heard Ore
gon was the "land of opporun
ity," and decided orcharding
would be more prosperous
than his Iowa farm.
John B. Wrisley, a gold-seeker
on his way to Nappa Valley,
California, pulled out of a wag
on train to bring his family to
Jacksonville in 1851. He had
heard rumors of the gold rush
in Jacksonville. Wrisley, a

says the defensive pattern he
is having the Grizzlies run is
basically the same as the one
Henry runs. When asked why
it hasn't been to successful this
year Earl said that one of the
main reasons was because it
was so hard . to get a high
school team to work hard on
defense.
From an old-imer, Rober
son, in the 1937-38 season we
found that on offensive in bas
ketball the teams worked off
the center post position. For
defense they used the zone and
shifted to a floating zone sys
tem later. This was the system
made prominent by Oregon
State College at that time.
Outstanding players at that
time were Charles (Homer)
Warren, Walter (Curly) Lee,
and Kenneth (Squirrel) Harris.
