EFORE a duel with swords the
gladiators of ancient Rome were
accustomed to drink together. Wine
was furnished by a relative or a
friend of one of them and to show
thnt there was no poison in the
glass of his opponent, the challenger
poured his wine into the other s
glass and back again until the con
tents of both glasses were thorough
ly mixed. That custom extended to
social usage and finally as the days
of poisoned wine became past his
tory, It evolved merely to the clink
ing of glasses.

According to Eberhart, the un-

IDENTITY PAINT
VANDALS STILL
WITHOUT CLUES
THE mystery of who wielded the
red paint on Ashland high
school building Friday night, Jan.
27, while Medford and the local
Grizzlies were battling for basket
ball leadership, still remained a
mystery in southern Oregon last
night.
The city of residence of the van
dals- if they are ever identified—
would automatically have its high
school athletic teams suspended
from competition indefinitely, and
games played to date would be
forfeited.
Suspension probably
would include next fall's football
season as well, as the state asso
ciation could not reinstate the of
fending team before December.
City police of both Medford and
Ashland, and state officers have
been working on the case, which
resulted in a large red “M” being
painted on a stucco wall in rear of
the building.
It is generally believed that
Medford students or fans applied
the paint as a prank of rivalry,
although there is a chance that
Grants Pass or Ashland persons
resorted to the vandalism in an
effort to disqualify Medford. How
ever, the latter theory is general
ly discounted, as few residents or
students were aware of the strin
gent association penalties.
*
Under terms of an old agree
ment, Medford school authorities
will have the damage repaired, es
timated to total about $60.
