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.

MEDFORD GAME TO START AT 9:00 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.
