Wrestling Is Unique Sport;
Deserves Student Support
Medford, Grants Pass Maul
Grizzlies in Conference Play
Wrestling is a unique sport. It
is not a team effort. When the
starting signal is given a player
Is all alone. From that time there
is no one to help him. Then he
realizes why the coach made him
work and sweat and learn. The
coach helped prepare the player
but he can't fight for him.
Such is the sport of wrestling.
It is an interesting spectator
sport as well as a body and mind
building sport in which to parti
cipate. Contrary to popular belief,
AI1S has a wrestling squad. It
is a good wrestling squad too. It

would be very nice of the AHS
students to show up at a match
and find out just how good the
squad is.
So far the squad's record is
both good and bad. They have
lost their first four games, but
they did very well at a tourna
ment. Squads attending the tour
nament were Klamath, Henly,
Sweethome, and Ashland. Glen
Smith and Clayton Swartz both
placed first, Mike Blair took a
second, John Wood and Ken
Preston both took third places.
There are six matches yet to
attend this season. The team
plans on doing very well at many
of them. Then, there will be
district also. Why don't you attend
these matches and see some good
wrestling?

AHS Bears Drop
Foul-Prone Game
The Medford-Ashland game was
fast and exciting. The Grizzlies
gave the Tornado quite a run for
their money. Ashland led in the
first quarter and in the second
quarter it was a fast game of
give and take. In the third quarter
Medford began to edge up, but
Ashland was still fighting. In the
final quarter Medford moved out
to win 83 to 65 by scoring 18
points in the final moments of
the game.
The game began to swing
towards Medford as they capital
ized on 34 fouls by the Grizzlies.
It was a close and exciting game
to watch. The fight that the
Grizzlies put up suprised more
than a few.
