DEBATERS SPLIT WITH MEDFORD Ashland high school's debating, team split with Medford Thursday, the affirmatives of Coach Hollis D. Beasley winning here yesterday afternoon, while the local nega­ tive couple lost to Medford there last night.

Fifty- six teams have been invited to the March 2, 3 and 4 tournament by the local college. Interest in this year’s tourney, the winner of which will earn the right to vie in the state cham­ pionship playoffs in Salem, is at a new high point, and Eberhart an­ ticipates more than the 32 teams originally expected. "We probably will have to run off games in the junior high gym and the armory,” declared the SONS meiltor. Expect More Than 500 About 400 players were attract­ ed to Ashland last year and this season, with roster limits raised from eight to 10 players per team and with at least an additional half dozen teams competing, the , actual player registration should exceed- 500. Coaches, classmates, parents and friends will swell this j number and tax the eating and hostelry facilities of the city to their limit. The tournament play will get under way in the championship flight at 9 a. m. Thursday, March 2. when the Jackson county top team meets the Douglas county third ranking outfit on one of the double courts at the Normal school. Central _____ Point ___ and __ St. Mary’s will play off for first and second Jackson county positions tonight, while Douglas county out­ fits also will decide their stand­ ings this evening. On the other court, also starting at 9 a. m„ the central Oregon winner which un­ doubtedly will be Sisters, will meet the Coos county second team, to be determined this week-end. At 10 o’clock the Douglas coun­ ty top rankers will play the Jack- son county third position holders (Rogue River or Butte Falls, to be decided this week-end) on one meet tonight to determine stand­ ings, neither team yet having lost a game. ------- At 11 a. m.

Produced with a cast of south­ ern Oregon players, and SONS dramatic students, the one per­ formance went off in professional manner.
