CAGE SERIES TO
REVIVE MEDFORD
AND AHS BATTLE
AN intense athletic rivalry ex-
isting between Medford and
Ashland will be revived in bas­
ketball on the local junior high
floor tonight, Jan. 27, when the
Ashland high school Grizzlies will
entertain the Medford Tigers
starting, at 8:30 p. m., following
a 7:30 preliminary contest be­
tween Elliott MacCracken’s gym
class and AHS grads from the
Bellview district.
In preparation for the contest,
which always reaches white-heat
regardless, Coaches Skeet O’Con­
nell and Russ Acheson have
agreed to place two referees—
Ronald Gandee of Central Point
and Stan Summers of Eugene—in
the court to keep order. Although
clean sportsmanship is the rule
between the two schools, a tradi­
tional will to win always results
in a busy evening for whistle foot­
ers and tonight’s game is thought
to be no exception.
Coach O’Connell, following the
loss of C. Warren, Nance and
Roberson at mid-term, has been
working with three replacements
who have shown much promise for
the season. Joe Jessel, Ardis War­
ren and Bob Weaver probably will
receive the call at game time to
fill the gaps, while Guards Bud
Silver and Kenny Harris will
Al-
round out the battle line,
though the Grizzlies are not ex­
pected to turn in the most out­
standing game of the decade,
O’Connell has assured fans that
Medford will have its hands full
till the final gun.
For the Tigers, Coach Acheson
probably will start Bob Newland
and Walt Kresse as forwards, ~
Eu-
gene Miller at center and Don
Monteith and Billy Piche as
guards. Dope from the pear city
claims that the Medford quint
has been looking good in practice
sessions this week and players
have priced tickets to the Salem
tournament.
Saturday night the teams will
move to the Medford gym, where
the second game in the district
playoff will occur.
Last Friday night Ashland’s
Grizzlies lost to Grants Pass’
Cavemen. 21-17 after having led
11-10 at half time.

Nuptial Wednesday
An interesting nuptial of the

Clinton and Marjorie Dysinger

by the Rev. C. E. Dunham, which

night.
Both Belcastro and the
Shiek are tough guys of the first
order and things are due to fly
high when these two get together.
The middle main event brings
back the popular Frankie Schroll
