THE BEAT OF TOM-TOMS
MATCHED THE BEAT OF
THEIR HEARTS
... •• th«, glided
hideout!
/ Yn a l win-soaked field at Grants
Pass last Friday night, Ash­
land high's 1940 football machine
Opened the southern Oregon con­
ference with an 0 to 0 tie with the
Grants Pass Cavemen.
Despite
the soggy condition of the field,
which had been covered with saw­
dust, the game was exciting as
both teams often threatened to
score. Fumbles and frequent pass
interceptions made the outcome
difficult to determine until the
final gun sounded.
Ashland's chances to score
came early in the first quarter as
Martin Herrin crashed the Grants
I’ass line and reached pay dirt
only to have the ball knocked
from his hands and ruled as a
fumble. Herrin played a bang-up
ball game and this week has been
carrying an eye discoloration and
bruised face to prove it. Ken Caton
quarterback, is on crutches be­
cause of a wrenched knee and will
be out for about another two
weeks. Nearly all the backfield
men who saw action for Ashland
are carrying some markings caus­
ed by the Cacvemen's neck-tie
tackles.
But the hosts didn't get by with­
out injuries.
One Grants Pass
player was taken from the field
on a stretcher when he suffered
neck injuries and several had mi­
nor hurts typical to a football
game.
Head Coach Leighton Blake was
well pleased with the way his
squad handled the wet ball and
with the manner in which they
executed plays.

reputation Klamath has built up

boys are drilling pass defense and
will be in tip-top shape when they
go to the post against their Kla­
math county rivals.
In the only football game in the
valley tonight, Medford meets
Grants Pass on the Tigers’ turf.
It is a conference scrap. Also to­
night. Klamath Falls steps into

last night, dropped a 13-0 game to
Medford juniors before u fulr sized
crowd.
Medford kicked off to open the
first quarter but on the second
down Simjwon'a tx>ys fumbled ami
Medford recovered. From Ash­
land's 3S-yard line Medford ad­
vanced to the 20 on three plays
and then a 20-yjard end run by
La>well Fleser reached pay dirt for
the visitors. The try for point
was wide.
Again Medford «cored; tills time
in the svctaid period when they
took an Ashland punt in mid-flekl
and moved it to thy one-foot line
on running plays. From there Jack
Baker scored on a quarterback
sneak The extra |aiint was scored
by Fleser on a line smash.
Sini|Mton's boys looked good in
every de¡mrtment but* obviously
were suffering from "first-game
fright." The tilt wasn't all med-
ford, however, for the local juniors
carried the pigskin to Medford's
five-yard line in the clotting min­
utes of the final period but the
gun beat them out of any |*osaible
score.
Medford's first string averaged
152 pounds to the man while Ash­
land's average was 145.
Officials were Parker Hess, ref­
eree; Clifford Mcljiin. umpire, and
