THE Ashland high Grizzlies
closed their 1940 season in a
blaze of glory by trimming the
Roseburg Indians 13 to 7 in a
sea of mud at Roseburg Thanks­
giving day.
The first half was scoreless
with neither team sure of its foot­
ing which made getting off to
gains of any length impossible.
Charley Jandreau, resorting to
his passing arm, pitched the
Grizzlies to their first score in
the third period when he tossed
lft yards to Earl Warren. Bob
W’eaver kicked the extra point
squarely between the uprights.
Early in the fourth quarter
Jandreau again resorted to pass­
ing and tossed a beautiful one to
Albert Newbry who made a cir­
cus catch to score. The pass a s
good for 20 yards. Jandreau a.
tempted to pass for the extra
point but was smothered before
he could get it away.
Roseburg tallied late in the fi­
nal period after advancing the
ball on line plunges An off-tackle
play was good for the score. The
try for point from placement was

Ken Caton and Weaver got
away for some nice gains as the
Grizzlies showed up nicely, al­

was covered with several inches

Work on New Sports
Plant to Start Soon
Moving of earth and new con­
struction at Ashland high school's
planned $10.000 athletic plant will
get under way within a few weeks,
according to Supt. Theo J. Norby.
Plans include turfing the present
football gridiron, leveling and turf­
ing of an adjacent baseball dia­
mond and foo’ball practice field,
construction of a quarter-mile cin­
der track, and erection of new
grandstand to seat more than
1000 persons.
The new grandstand will include
dressing rooms, showers, drying
facilities, storage rooms and con­
cessions, as well as public toilets.
Special roof design on the grand­
stand will permit unusually wide
range of vision, according to plans
already approved bv school and
WPA officials. Of the $20,000 Im­
provement, $ a 2,000 will be pro­
vided by the Works Progress ad­
ministration, with completion ex­
pected in time for next year's
school sports.

MEDFORD TAKES
PLAYOFF 7 TO 0
Medford's Black Tornado scored
a 7 to 0 win over The Dalles in
a thrilling Thanksgiving day
game on the Medford turf yester­
day. The game was for the state
high school "championship” with
the winner to play the winner of
a game between Bend and Salem,
which turned out to be a scoreless
tie.
A short pass from Cato Wray
to Louie Thursman brought glory
to the Tigers with two minutes
left in the game.
Two passes
which ate up 60 yards advanced
the ball from Medford's 20-yard
line to The Dalles’ 20 and it was
from there that Wray shot the
touchdown pass.
Medford received the opening
kickoff and the two teams fought
back and forth with the Indians
moving to Medford’s three-yard
line at the end of the first period.
On the second play of the sec­
ond period, with the ball resting
on Medford's goal line, Benny
Holcomb attempted to cut through
tackle but slipped and the Tor­
nado took over on down». Med­
ford kicked safely out of danger.
The third period was a see-sew
affair with neither team having
much of an advantage. The final
period started with Medford in­
tercepting an Indian pass and two
plays later Cato Wray scored
standing up on an end run but
the play was nullified because of
a Medford off-side. On the next
Medford drew a 15-yard penalty
for holding. Both teams exchang­
ed kicks and here Wray took to
the air for the three passes which
reached pay dirt for the Tornado.
The game was played in typi­
cal football weather to a near­
capacity crowd of highly enthus­
iastic tana.

OPEN MOUNTAIN
ROAD TUESDAY
1VITH final arrangements now
being ironed out, southern
Oregon and northern California
will pause Tuesday to dedicate the
new section of the Pacific high­
way over the summit of the Siski-
yous, the climax of a $2,000,000
I construction project providing an
inter-state, all-year and all-wea­
ther traffic artery.
Highlighted by the appearance
of Oregon's Governor Charles A.
Sprague, members of the state
highway commission, tourist pub­
licity agencies and representatives
of communities from Portland to
central California, the program
will constitute line ceremonies and
an inter-state banquet at Yreka.
Ashland Chamber of Commerce
officials, busy completing arrange­
ments, announced that a well-
rounded delegation has indicated
intention of participating. Among
notables expected are Huron
Clough and Henry Cabell, mem­
bers of the state highway commis­
sion; R. H. Bal dock, state high­
way engineer; Harold B. Say, bead
of the state tourist travel and in­
formation bureau; Carl Washburn,
former member of the highway
commission and one of the pri­
mary instigators of the present
modernization project; Ray W.
Clark, Portland hotel man, and
representatives of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce.
Chambers of commerce officials
from Eugene to Ashland, primar­
ily engaged in furthering the mod­
ernization of Highway 99 be­
tween Grants Pass and Roseburg,
also will participate and bold a
special meeting at the Ashland
hotel Tuesday noon, to discuss
newest developments. This group

er with Frank Hull, the Jackson
county ?ourt and representatives

partment
Locally, this group will be re­
presented by Ralph Koozer and
G. M Green.
A number of prominent Califor­
nia state and highway officials
are expected to represent their
state in the affair, but their
names have not been received.
Present plans point to a brief
ceremony at the Oregon-California
line itself, because of probabilities
of unsettled weather. The entire
delegation will leave for Yreka
following the line services for the
inter-state banquet at 6 p. m.
While construction on the Cali­
fornia side has not been complet­
ed. traffic has been using the
highway for some time. On the
Oregon side, the new road is about
six miles long, cuts approximately
five miles distance and 30 minutes
of driving time between Ashland
and Yreka.
