JUNIORS IN TIE

Mark Marquess, a little fullback
for Ashland junior high, put over
a touchdown in the first period
against his former Medford JHS
teammates to gain a 6-6 tie in the
football game played at the Wal­

His scoring play was a four-yard
dash through right tackle. Earl
Barnhart, Medford halfback, tal­
lied in the third quarter to tie the
ball game up Both teams failed
to convert. Medford’s score was
made on a 25 yard pass down the
center.
In the closing minutes of the
final period Jamie Mosely "got

long gains, but the rally was
