WIN MARKS END
OF GOOD SEASON
Scoring twice in the first quar
ter, once in the third and twice
in the fourth, the Ashland Grizzlies
closed a successful season with a
32-7 routing of Roseburg in the
game here yesterday which high
lighted Ashland’s Thanksgiving
celebration.
Ashland opened the game with
Martin Herrin kicking off deep
into Roseburg territory. The In
dians made several attempts thr
ough the line, but were held for
downs and forced to kick. Jan-
dreau took the punt on his own
48 yard line and raced to the goal
line to score standing up. Provost
found a hole through right tackle
and converted the extra point.
During the first quarter most
of the game was played in Rose
burg territory. Ashland made sev
eral deep thrusts but were held for
downs. The Roseburg offense was
unable to find any openings in the
Grizzlie line and the Ashland sec
ondary were on their toes to dis
courage attempted end runs.
Toward the end of the opening
period. Ashland took the offensive
and drove to the Roseburg 10-yard
line where a pass from Jandreau
to Bell was good for the second
touchdown. Provost failed to make
the extra point and the quarter
ended with Ashland leading 13-0.
Roseburg put a scare into the
Grizzlies in the second period when
a tricky reverse was good for a
60 yard gain. The Indians con
tinued to plow to the Ashland ten
where they were held on downs.
Ashland kicked, but the Indians
were soon threatening again. They
succeeded in moving the ball to
the one foot line where the Ash
land line held for downs. Provost
kicked out of danger as the half
ended with the score still 13-0.
In the second half Roseburg
kicked off and four plays later
Elam found a nice hole and went
over for a touchdown. An attempt
ed pass for the extra point was no
good
Later in the quarter, Jandreau
took an Indian pass on the 23
yard line and moved it to the 35,
but a clipping penalty placed the
ball back on the nine yard line.
Several plays later Jandreau was
forced from the game by the re-
currece of an old ankle injury.
In the first play of the fourth
quarter Owen Griffith went over
standing up for another Ashland
tally. The try for extra point
failed.
As soon as Ashland again re
gained possession of the ball Pro
vost went through tackle from 20
yards out and scored. Fowler
kicked the extra point.
At this point. Coach O’Neil gave
Ashland a prevue of next year's
team by sending in the reserves.
Wells scored through tackle for
the Indians' tally and Bert Young
kicked the extra point to end the
day’s scoring.
The game marked the end of
highschool competition for several
