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.

while a “mystery player” will be
brought down from the hills to
aid the Teachers and will attempt
to impress the House of David
players that he should be given a
berth with them.
According to Eberhart, the un-
known player will stand six feet
four inches barefooted, and is
quite a hulk of humanity. “He'll
be ready to show ’em a few of
their own tricks," declared the
SONS mentor, “as well as a neat

game as the preliminary. Both
teams are tied for the league lead
and one will drop to second place
after the meeting.
The House of David team, well
known and popular throughout
southern Oregon, is one of the
finest traveling quintets in the
country and specializes in trick
plays and high comedy. Fans will
be kept in good humor from open­
ing whistle to final gun, according
to Dorn Provost, manager of the
coaches.
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.
