SOUTHER^ OREGON MINER Pete Favored To Beat Christy lly Bill Hulrn i We don’t envy the mun, as yet unnamed, who will attempt to fill the Ashland high coaching shoes of Don Faber next fall, es|M*cially the baskctlMtll brogans During Faber's stay here, took three consecutive district title winners to the state tournament, which is absolute tops for any Ashland high coach since the flint tourney wus held more than twenty years ago. In fuct until the young Willamette university graduate hit town and started turning out his snioulh clicking quinta, only three other Grizzly teums in a decade had represented southern Oregon at .Salem Faber leaves some good basket bull material, however, so the new coach may not find the bill so haul to fill as could I m - the case. Also, returning footbull lettermen are so numerous us to fertilize the hope that for the first time since 1929. Ashland MIGHT be on u par with Medford ncxtfall While on the subject of football writer wants to set forth " of his deep rooted convict ions concerning the Ashland-Med ford pigskin situation. Herewith all friendship ceases, for it Is u dead mortal cinch that when u couple of hundred students and gobs of leather-lunged business men, Ashland high rooters, read this, your correspondent will be as ¡xipular us a Medford player after a long touchdown run Ho fire and fall liuck, here we go How can Ashland high, without an act of God or something else about as Hable to happen, ever hope to beat their most bitter rival Medford? Ami the answer to that, kind reader, la they can’t Now take It easy for a minute Hold the explosion for a couple of more paragraphs while we delve deeply Into a situation that has rankled in the heart« of almost every man. woman and child in our fair city for many, many years In the first place. Ashland can't hope to match the tremendous man power that Is so vital, and that pours into Medford high's halls by the hudreds; well coached already drilled In fundamentals by excellent junior high mentors It's not that Ashland's incoming frosh are not as well coached, but the point la that where one potent ially fine football player enters Ashland high as a freshman, three do the same at Medford. Compared to Ashland's turnout squad of twenty five or thirty; Medford's opening roster' looks like a verit able army Anywhere from eighty to a hundred always answer the Tiger's first practice call. That great edge in man-power alone would almost preclude any possibility that Ashland could ever be on a par with our neighboring city. But there is more to come Here in Ashland, the head coach is his own line coach, his own back- field coach, his own end yoach his own scout, trainer and almost his own water boy. Compare that situation with Medford's college like coaching staff including gtxxl assistants who know all about boxing an end or opening a hole at tackle, a very competent train er, and, oh yes, water boys by the score. More could be said about such little but sometimes Important things as playing equipment, dress ing quarters and the like. Much more. But, after all, wljat's the use. Putting it into print won't in crease the Ashland student body enrich the athletic coffers so the Grizzlies can have those It’s just the same old story 3RT small high school trying to compete with one three times its size It can't be done. Not with regularity, anyway Maybe once in ten years an exceptional gang of fighting frosh will bring smashing ability to the Grizzly coach And after thrc years playing together their big year will come and Med ford will taste defeat. In the mean The best wrestling card yet to time let us hope that a kind prov idence will look over Ashland be presented in Medford will con high's shoulder and guide the pig stitute the lineup at the Medford Armory Monday night when Pro- kin between the goal posts.

Chick does not depend entirely on his lariat spin but employs the airplane scissors and flying «hold er butts equally effective. The opener will see Bob Kennas- ton the Gold Hill marine, at work again—this time on Cecil McGill of Los Angeles. Both men met Britt for the world title and both lost. Kenncxton. as a result of the tournament, placed third out of nearly 400 participants from over th" world. McGill wrestled in Medford eral years ago when he was just learning the game. Both men work ovei the clean scientific route, al though K-nnaston formerly was a tough hombre in anybody's ring. Although this card has six of the best junior heavyweights avail able in th< world. Lillard announc ed there will be no advance in prices C hoose R ollator R efrigeration More Cold Than You’ll Ever Need moter Mack Lillard brings three men who finished in the recent semi-finals of the recent world's junior heavyweight tournament at Hollywood. Alvin Britt, who won the tournament will not be on hand at the present but has been signed for a later date, Lillard stated. Ted Christy, the mean Los An geles tough guy, will meet the Pacific Coast junior heavyweight king, in the top spot. Christy, who finished in the semi-finals claims that he is not only a sensational wrestler, but is good at anything he attempts Christy didn't exactly like the stand that Italy took on the Italy- Ethiopia war and will probably turn on the steam when he gets in the ring with the Medford Italian. Beicastro, when he fimi came to Medford, was a rough and hard- boiled customer and he may show a shaue of his old self if Christy gets too rough. Pete's title will not be at stake The middle main event will see the return of one of the most pop ular men ever to appear in a Med ford ring.
