GRIZZLIES IN

AGAINST TIGERS
A rejuvenated Ashland high

the crucial test of the season to­
night on the Junior h.gh floor
when the Grizzlies tangle with the
league-leading Medford high Ti
gers, the preliminary game be-
ginning about 7:30 p. m.
The series now stands at one
win for each of these two teams
and if Ashland can turn the tide
tonight they wall once again lead
the district. Proof that Ashland is
definitely out of the slump which
caused the loss of leadership of
the league was established here
Tuesday night when the Grizzlies
handed
Roseburg a thorough
trouncing by the score of 54 to 22.
Medford also took care of the In­
dians on their floor Friday night
and won handily 36 to 20.
Frank O’Neil, who is coaching
the team during the illness of
Head Coach Jerry Gastineau, has
pointed the club towards a tourna­
ment berth and his plans have no
room for a Grizzly defeat.
Tomorrow night Ashland travels
to Grants Pass for the final tilt
in that series and Medford goes
to Roseburg, also the final in
their series.
