Medford Egg-Hurlers
Pay Ashlandites Visit
Reverting 1 to tactics of

tion between Medford and
Ashland was keen but the
gestures were i odoriforous, a
group of Pear Town egg-
hurlers invaded this city fol
lowing Wednesday afternoon’s
football battle. Their marks
manship was as l»ad as their
eggs, said victims.
Among sufferers here were
Parker Hess, whose new $4
hat was omeleted. “And don’t
think it was any yolk,” either,
groaned Hess yesterday . Cliff
Bromley and several other
.Ashland high football players
also were shelled, but side
walks and business fronts
were chief recipients of Med
ford's messages of hate.
It was thought that Wed
