Football Concludes Tonight
Roseburg Comes South;
Srs. Play Last Game
The Indians from Roseburg
invade Ashland territory tonight
in the season finale for both
teams.
Ashland, already assured a
winning season with a 5-3 record,
will be led by all-stater Mark
Wilson. Wilson had an off game in
last week's 20-0 loss at Medford.
Even though Wilson had an off
night, Medford's head coach
tabbed him as "the best athlete in
the state." Craig Siebenlist, who
has an injured shoulder, will sit
out this game and will also miss
some of basketball.
Roseburg won't be taking this
game lightly as it will give them a
winning season. They currently
stand at 4-4
This game also marks the end
of several players high school

for their last AHS action include
Craig Siebenlist, John Murdock,

Bears' Defense Shines
Despite Tornado Win
The Grizzly upset hopes were
doused when the Big Wind from
Medford scored a 20-0 victory
over Ashland.
Ashland controlled the ball
most of the game sustaining
several drives deep into Tornado
territory but each time the Bear
fizzled.
In Cross Country
Bears Tie Roseburg For 2nd;
Holland Captures First Place
Ashland relinquished its dis
trict title in Cross-County last
week to host, Klamath Falls.
After several coaches meet
ings, Ashland Roseburg were
declared tied for second place.
This action allowed both teams to
compete at regionals and still
qualify for the state meet.
Jay Holland qualified directly
for the state meet held at Lane
Community College. November
11. He took individual honors,
crossing the finish line first
(12:48) ahead of Klamath's Scott
Jacobs (13:01), second place.
Dan Morgan was the Grizzlies'
second man as he placed sixth.
Mark Farrell was 19th. Mark
Simmons and Brad Studebaker
tied for 20th. Brad Mix and Scott
Studebaker followed a ways back
in the standings.
As a second place team,
Ashland was given a second
chance yesterday al regionals
held in Roseburg. Placing first
would enable the team to
accompany Jay Holland to
Eugene for the statewide confrontation.

Medford stunned the Grizzlies
the first time they had their
hands on the ball. Mark Adams,
who ran for 128 yards of
Medford's 187 total rushing
yardage, began by scampering
around the right side of the line
and 78 yards to the goal line
Without a good placekicker, the
Tornadoes attempted a two point
conversion which failed.
Toward the end of the third
quarter, Wilson was intercepted
by Tony Beatty. On the third
play Adams ran it in for the TD.
Late in the fourth quarter
sophomore quarterback Jeff
Jenkins was intercepted by Mike
Chriss. In seven plays the
Tornadoes had another six points
but the conversion was unsuc
cessful. Jenkins Sees Action

Grizzlies Have Had An Impressive Year
With the football season concluding this weekend, the Grizzlies
have had a fairly successful season. Beginning the season with four
straight shut-outs was quite impressive even though South Albany and
Yreka were not exactly "tough" ball clubs. To shut-out one of the
better teams in the Portland area, Sunset, 13-0, was only the
beginning. Anderson, California sent a team of hard-hitting football
players to Grizzly country for a 27-0 defeat. Anderson had been rated
in the pre-season as a title contender for its conference.
Top-ranked Grants Pass handed the Bears their first loss of the
season. At the end of the first half the score was 7-7 with Ashland
scoring first and controlling the Cavemen offense. But the second half
was a different story. With thirteen players going on offense and
defense both, the big Grizzly machine ran out of gas. They did score
again and managed a respectable 28-14 loss.
The Klamath Pelicans pulled the surprise of the season. It
appeared that the Grizzlies did not care much about the Pelicans,
allowing the birds to squeeze out a 9-7 victory. Three field goals were
all that Klamath could score but that outdid Ashland's lone
touchdown, two points too many.
The Homecoming game against Crater was the best game the
Grizzlies have played all year. The Bears controlled the entire game
and AHS' acclaimed defense held the Comets to a net 66 yards total
offense. But it proved to be a costly game as Craig Siebenlist suffered
a separated shoulder on Crater's only scoring play a 53 yard
interception return by Reg Anson.
The Medford-Ashland game was not nearly as bad as the score
appeared. Ashland controlled the ball most of the game but just could
not get passed the goal line. Medford's first TD was a stunning 78 yard
romp by Mark Adams on the first play of the game for the Tornadoes.
The other two scores followed interceptions in Ashland territory.
Medford never had a sustained drive whereas Ashland could drive the
length of the field but never score. The Grizzlies never crossed the
Tornadoes 5 yard line. Thus the game was won on bizarre breaks and
could not have been much of a victory for the "Big Wind Machine."
Cross-Country Chaos
The Bizarre happenings at the Cross-Country District Meet in
Klamath Falls makes you wonder who is allowed to run the important
meets. The host team should assume the responsibility for
organization of the entire meet that includes the finish too.
If the race was fouled up to the point that some runners received
no place-cards and others were swapping cards like trading stamps it
seems obviously necessary to re-run the entire race.
What is more ironic, is the fact that the host team, a definite
underdog, declared themselves the winner. The Klamath runners had
a fine day running but to defeat the three teams who had been
predicted to vie for the district title is a little far-fetched. It is
impossible to declare anyone a winner in such a chaotic mess as
happened October 26.

late in the third period. This
enabled Wilson to return to his
usual position as split end.
Jenkins commandeered the
Grizzlies for the entire fourth
period.
Defense Does It Again
The Grizzly defense did it again
holding the Tornado to five first
downs the entire game compared
to 14 for AHS. Excluding Mark
Adams' lengthy runs, Ashland
held Medford to under 100 yards
offense.
The statistic that told the story
of the game was that of
interceptions. Ashland gave up
three passes to Medford defend
ers, two resulted in touchdowns.

IN CONCERT
"Fantastic" may be the only
word to describe Don Ellis and his
band. At least the Ashland High
School Jazz Lab thinks so.
Accredited to Ellis is his
uncanny and perplexing way of
composing iazz music. (Time
signatures range anywhere from
24 time to 364 time.)
Ellis can string a cluster of
these and have the audience
clapping out the beats, while he
and his rhythm section add some
sophisticated "interference."
Included with the rhthym sec
tion are: strings, woodwinds.
brass, and many electrical
synthesizers. Combine these with
the compositons he has written
and you have jazz, Don Ellis style.
Like Stan Kenton, with whom he
is inevitably compared, Ellis is
writing more, hitting the road
with younger performers, and
conducting clinics.
