campaigns has been used to buy
such things as visual aids, uni
forms, and other student body
needs.
Paper will be loaded on

In a ragged game of football
Friday evening, uie Ashland Griz
zlies uowneu a much heavier, but
slower team trom Lakeview to
the tune of 4o-o. The game was
filled with thrills, and replete
witn bad breaks, fumbles and
penalties, ft was me second game
of tne season for both teams
with both teams being unbeaten.
The kickoff came at eignt o’
clock with Lakeview kicking off
to Ashland. Janareau picked up
the bail on his own 20-yard stripe
and ran it back to the Lakeview
15, only to lose it on a fumble.
Taking over the ball, the Honk
ers attempted to march down the
field by sheer weight, but the
lighter Grizzlies held them back.
* rom then on, play was back and
forth, but with the Grizzlies de
finitely outsmarting and outrun
ning the heavier visitors.
The play was marked by many
penalties. Only once during the
entire game were the visitors in
scoring territory and then they
ran the ball down the sidelines
to go over the goal line standing
up, but the referee called the ball
back, nullifying the score, on a
clipping penalty. It was the only
time the visitors came near the
scoring line. Ashland had two
touchdowns recalled, one for off
side play and one for holding.
Early in the second quarter,
seeing that the edge was definite
ly against the Honkers, Coach
Roberts, sent in the reserves, and
most of the rest of the game was
played by the second string.
Music was furnished by the
Lakeview band who had travel
ed the 147 miles to accompany
their team, the local band under
direction of Jack Francis was
also on hand for more music.
During the half time period the
Lakeview and Ashland twirlers
marched on the field.
This Friday the Grizzlies will
play their first game away from
home going to Klamath Falls.
The Klamath Falls team was
beaten in their first game of the
season with the Lakeview team.
Medford won their second game,
played Friday night, on the home
field with the team from Marsh
field battling it out. Final score
was 42-0.
