Weed Dumps Ashland
High 12-0 In Opening

Weed high school used a perfect
passing offense and an air-tight
defense to take their first game

beating the Ashland high eleven
last Saturday on the local grid

and Fullback Chiodo toting the

second quarter. The first try for
point after touchdown was blocked
and the second went wild of the
uprights.
The Californians were in scor
ing position and piled up a greater
number of first downs in the last
half but a gradual tightening of
the Ashland line and several last
chance tackles by Quarterback
Charlie Warren stopped their
drives short of the goal line.
For Ashland Warren was out
standing for short gains through
the line and Steve Fowler shone
in the first half with some splen

Probably the most exciting play
for local fans came late in the
gnme when Fowler threw a pass
over left side of the line to Fur
man Carter who gained 30 yards
to midfield before being run out
of bounds.. Four subsequent plays
failed to net a first down.

LOTTERY CLAIM
ATTACKED by the timorous, in-
effectual prosecution of Dis
trict Attorney Frank Newman,
pinball machines in Jackson coun
ty remained under their cloud of
doubtful legality following dis-
missal of a bung jury at 6:15
p. m. yesterday.
The pinball case, which has at-
traded widespread interest, de-
veloped when Earl A. Sims, pin-
ball machine agent, defled Sheriff
Syd Brown's order to padlock or
remove the devices, Brown's action
was based on a recent ruling by
the attorney general that the ma
chines violated Oregon's anti-lot
tery statute, and the court action
was designed as a test case by
pinball operators and owners who
had hoped to reinstate their gam
bling contraptions.
Circuit Judge H. D. Norton, fol
lowing a dozen divided ballots by
the jury which had listened to
more than thrve days of testimony
and argument, in calling it a mis
trial, declared "There is little hope
of jurors, who have been deliber
ating since 10:45 o'clock this
morning, of ever reaching an
agreement sufficient to either ac
quit or convict.” A majority of 10
of the 12 jurors must be reached
to acquit or convict.
According to Ashland members
of the jury, the element of "skill”
claimed for the devices was never
clearly demonstrated, nor was it
shown that the machines were en
tirely lacking in skill. The defini
tion of a lottery given at the trial
explained that, to be a true lot
tery, the machines must have no
element of personal ability to alter
or affect payment of awards. Jur
ors were "about evenly divided on
whether the machine was governed
wholly by chance.” explained one
juror.
The trial of Sims got under way
at 3:30 p. m. Monday, and went to
the jury Thursday morning fol
lowing instructions by the court.
George Roberts and William Mc
Allister were defense attorneys,
while Assistant District Attorney
George Nielson aided the state.
It was understood last night
that the mistrial will not affect
pinball machine status in Jackson
county, and that further develop
ments will be up to pinball oper
ators or the district attorney’s of
fice.
