Provost and John Bergstrom and
boys with the scrappy nature of
the Ashland football players, a
team has an equal chance with
any other," said Leighton Blake,
head coach of the Ashland high
school football club in reference to
the Grizzly chances against Med
ford's Tigers on the Medford turf
Monday, Nov. 11.
Blake has four new plays which
he has been drilling the team on
which have not been seen by Grizz
ly followers this season and which
should present a surprise to Med
ford. An attempt has been made
to strengthen the center of the
Ashland line in preparation for
the terrific line smashes at Tiger
Fullback IJte Orr.
Donnie Warren, plucky reserve
quarterback who suffered a brok
en arm in the Yreka game last
week, will be greatly missed by
Ashland.
A report from the Medford
camp says the Black Tornado is In
fine shape for the annual "civil
war" with the exception of Curt
Hopkins who might be replaced
by Bob Stead in the starting line
up. Hopkins is not injured, accord
ing to the Medford staff, but pro
bably will just be forced out of his
starting berth by Stead.
Not since 1929 has Ashland
beaten Medford, the Grizzlies do
ing the job thoroughly twice that
year, once to the tune of 19 to 6
and the second time 19 to 12.
In the first 1929 game Howard
McLeod shot a beautiful long pass
to Nell Spiers for- the winning
touchdown and in the second game
Clyde Dunham scored the first
tally, with Dick Hitchcock ac
counting for the next two.
The tentative starting lineup for
the Armistice day clash follows:
Hanna Wins Easily
Complete returns from all Jack-

precincts, give Herbert K. Hanna
a majority of 2,447 votes in the
two counties, over Don R. New-

Hanna polled a total of 11,140
in the two uuuuUes; Newbury
8,693. In Jackson county Hanna
received 8,523 and Newbury 5,290,
a majority of 3,233 for Hanna.
