WILDER TILL E j NEW HOPE FOOTBALL GAMES ON THANKSGIVING Grants Paaa Teams Take Pexrt In Lively Games Here and evt Ashland The gao.e with Rosebuig on last Friday proved one of the most excit ing games of foot ball ever played in Grants Pass. The game 'was closely contested from start to finish aud was won by Grants Psss by the narrow margin of 12-11. On the line-up for Grants Pass were several plajers' not in attendance in the High school. This' fact pre vions to the game called Tor consid erable discussion both on the part of thuse directly interested in the game and others interested in fair play. It is bnt just to say in this connection that -the Rosebnrg team had been represented, by those who purported to know, to have on its line-up out side players. For this reason onr boys al o went outside for material for a team, and more especially be cause on all the teams they have played against this season there has been outside material. On Friday afternoon before the game the matter was laid before the manager of the Rosebnrg team, aud his wish in the matter was sought. He asked to rule off two of Grants Pass' players and named two of the best. This was agreed to aud the game was played with this understanding, Cart. Cheshire of Grauts Pans substituting lighter and less experienced men in these places. The Ros'burg team out weighed Grauts Pass to some extent, and it is but fair to state that the captain of the Rosebnrg team is a post gradnate pupil in school and not tak ing legular work. In the Thauksgiving game with the Ashland High School ou yesterday afternoon, Grants Pass High School kept up its record as a winning team. Although somewhat outweighed by the ABhland boys our home boys won out a clean, clear victory, making' one touchdown and goal in eacli half, thus winning by a score of 12-0. The game was characterized by good ft el' iig between the pluyers and an utter lack of wrangling and abusive language that came from the Rose burg players The Ash laud team ex pressed themselves as much pleased with the treatment received at the hands of Grants Puss. The Ashland team were a well behaved, gentle manly set of boys and reflected credit upou their High School aud school training. Their playing was plucky, but somewhat lacking in team work. It was due to this that Grants Pass was able to make such a good score against a heavier teim. The attendance at the game small and the boys are unable to pay out expenses. This practically closes the football scbbou, however a game has beeu arranged between tho Higli School and clerks of Grants Pass to be played sometime near Christmas. The proceeds of this game will be given to the High School team to en able them to pay oh outstanding amouuts aud to contribute to the Library Fund. The A. A. C's. game with Ashland was not so favorable fur Grants Pass, Ashland winning by score of (1-0, scoring in the last three minutes of play. The A- A. C. boys report a clean game, and are pleased with the entertainment received at Ashlund. A retnrn ganio will be played in the near future at Grauts Pass. Kodaks Courier Building.
