A VERIEGATED CLIMATE
MORE AEROPLANES NEEDED
W e have a variegated climate,
dogs pulling sleds over Alaska's
ice. ladies and their friends lying
half-naked on the sands o f Flori
da, California and the Gulf
States.
And the thermometer does not
tell everything about the weather
We shiver and growl at 14 above
zero, while Donald McMillan, A r
ctic explorer, sent word, through
radio, that he is quite comfortable
at Bowdoin, Labrador, with the
temperature 35 below zero.
It depends on humidity, eleva
tion, ozone and other things prob
ably o f which we know nothing.
A dispatch from Nicaragua says
Sadino, the rebel-bandit who kil
led some o f our marines, has
been killed by a bomb from one
o f our airplanes.
The Nicaragua
rebels now
know that they have no more
chance against United States
M flying machines than a rabbit has
against eagles.
That is satisfactory so far as
our Nicaragua fight goes.
t
But our President, Congress
and Army and Navy departments
should remember that several
countries in Europe and at least
one in Asia exceed us so greatly
in air power that they could do to
us, if they chose, what we have
just done to Sandino.
We need fighting airplanes,
not merely a sample force o f the
Nicaragua type.
The Emperor o f Japan sets an
example in economy — carries a
$5 watch, cultivates his own rice
field.
That would surprise his
great grandfather. That Mikado,
by lifting a finger, could chop o ff
anybody’s head, and he did.

MEDFORD GAME

Annual
Basket
Ball
Serial to
Start at Medford on Friday
Evening.
Ashland business men will be
given ample opportunity to sec
the Medford-Ashland basketball
game to be played here Saturday
night, according, to an announce
ment today by principal o f the
high school, B. C. Forsythe, who
stated that the game will not
start until 9 o’clock, with a pre
liminary at 8.
These games always hotly con
tested. are o f unusual interest
this year because both turns have
gone this far without a confer
ence defeat, and the winner of
the four game series will repre
sent this distriot at the state
tournament at Salem.
While some felt that Ashland’s
hopes were dimmed by the injury
sustained by Roy Abbott, guard,
those who attended the Roseburg
game had this -thought dispelled
by the excellent work o f Simpson
who replaced Abbott. While only
a youngster and handicapped by
a lack o f experience, Simpson
played a stellar game, and Ash
land’s stock in the series took a
decided jump.
Much o f the head work o f the
series will fall upon Roy Parr,
veteran center, who is now the
only man on the team who played
more than a year, Parr dis
played his wares as captain in
the Roseburg game, and the ad
ded responsibility only tended to
bring him to the front more as
an excellent player.
Ashland’s forwards,
Leedom
and Katzer. are a pair o f tem
peramental
basketball
players,
that at times go good and then
again they get a streak o f tem
perament, as in the Roseburg
game and make a most disgusting
showing. Gus Moore at guard is
tho real scrapper on the team. It
matters not to him the size or
ability o f an opponent, he goes
after any and all o f them, and
it has* been largely through his
excellent work that Ashland has
been able to keep their opponents
score down.
This briefly is the five players
that Ashland has to depend upon
in this series.
It is understood
that Medford has been badly crip
pled by ineligibility. Even with
some o f their veteran players the
Medford team has had a difficult
time nosing out victories that
Ashland has won in ah easy man
ner. H ith this to go on Ashland
should win and the Register pre
dicts that they will, but win or
lose, basketball fans ran be as
sured o f one of the best series of
games ever to be staged in so■ th
em Oregon.
