LOCALS OUT TO WIN
Ashland Quint Expects to Avenge
Defeat at Medford
Last Night
Not in the least disheartened
over their defeat at Medford last
night, the Ashland high school
basketball squad is all set for
the return game in the local ar­
mory tonight, and it is expected
the largest crowd which ever
attended a game In this city
will be out to cheer them on
to victory.
Medford high school won, 22
to 19, in a fast and fiercely
contested game on the Medford
floor. The game was in doubt
from start to finish and the
teams appeared throughout to
be on equal terms.
The first half closed with tho
score tied at 11 to 11. Toward
the close of the final half Med­
ford forged to the front and
then played a desperate defen­
sive game which kept the local
boys from evening up the score.
A large crowd of Ashland stu­
dents and fans went to Medford
for last night’s game, and a big
crowd swarmed the Medford ar­
mory. Music was furnished by
the Medford high school band.
Reserved seat tickets for to­
night's game have been sold Out
and so keen Is the Interest
Is probable that the armory will
be jammod. Members of the Kl-
wania club, will attend In a
body.
If Ashland high wins tonight
the two teams will be tied for
tbe Southern Oregon champion­
ship.
They are scheduled to
play two more games early next
month.
The lineup of the teams last
night and the probable linenp
for tonight follows:
Medford— Melvin and Herrlott,
forwards; Lang, center; WUllamo
and White, guards. Dunn sub­
stituted for Melvin.
Ashland— Marske and Aldo
Parr, forwards; Moore, center,;
Gosnell and Hill, guards. Katser
