Second String Meets
KF Wildcats Today
The Ashland high school foot­
ball squad will have a chance to
gain some semblance of revenge
this afternoon when the second
string meets the Klamath Falls
Wildcats on the local gridiron, be­
ginning at 2 o'clock. The Wild­
cats, made up of players not good
enough or ineligible for varsity,
lost the last time to the post
when they were downed last Sat-
urday night by Yreka.
Coach Frank O'Neil of the Griz-
zlies said he will cut his squad in
half for today's game and use
only boys who have been reserve
material so far. The only varsity
starter who might get a call is
Lawrence Hall at guard. Don
Warren at quarterback is the
only letterman who will play.
The Ashland lineup, undecided
by O'Neil late yesterday, was tem­
porarily announced as follows: L-
