Paul Wordsworth, playing full
back for Al Simpson's junior high
football team, scored the first
touchdown for his school in two
years Wednesday night when he
went over late in the fourth quar
ter after clever reverses and a
couple of passes had taken the
ball down to the Grants Pass
Frosh goal line.
The Frosh had scored twice
previously, however, and took the
big end of the score 12 to 6. The
juniors were a little cut of their
class against the Cavekids as the
bigger team tore through for long
gains.
Grants Pass scored’first in the
second quarter on a right end run
from 18 yards out but their con
version try was no good. In the
third period the Frosh took the
ball on their own 30-yard marker
and with sheer power advanced to
the Ashland 10. There they were
held for three downs inside the
junior’s 10-yard line but on the
fourth went through the Ashland
right tackle to score standing up.
Again their try for extra point
through the line was no good.
Owen Griffith was the spark
plug for the juniors’ offense which
resulted in the score. He started
the drive in mid-field and shot a
nice pass to Calvin Ross which
set up the play that netted the
touchdown.
Simpson’s team was evidently
still smarting under the 14 to 0
trouncing they received at .the
hands of the same team in Grants
Pass last Friday. Here the Cave
kids pushed the juniors all over
the field and kept them almost
constantly in their own territory.
But after the half-time rest
period of the game here, the jun
iors found their reverses and pass
es and other clever plays would
work and made a good showing
for themselves.
Pointer-Reserve Tilt
Scheduled for Today
The postponed Central Point-
Ashland reserves football game
will take place this afternoon at
3 o’clock on the Central Point
school field and will mark the re
turn of Jim Smith, last year regu

Smith, who was injured in an auto
accident shortly before football
practice started, reported to Head
Coach Leighton Plake last week
and will use a specially made cast
on his hand.
The tentative starting lineup for
the reserves, according to Blake,
is Finnell at left end; Decker at
left tackle; Hall at left guard;
Randles, cent ¡r; Smith, right
guard; Clawson, right tackle, and
Dunn, right end. In the backfield
will be Ken Caton at quarterback;
Earl Warren at left half; Don
Warren at right half, and Billy
Elam at fullback.
