Although the first game was a
scoreless one, it was decidedly in
Medford'6 favor and the opposing
team was made up of the players
from two schools.
On, n Frozen Field.
The game yesterday was not ns
spectacular as some that have been
plnjed this season, as it was played
on n frozen field covered with snow.
and at no time during the game did
the snow cense to pelt down, being'
driven by n strong south wind. At
tunes it was difficult to distinguish '
the players, and they hnd hard work ,
to sec the plays when the snow was j
driving in their faces.

A meeting of the claimants of wa
ter rights along Little Buttu creek
nnd the stnto engineer's office, rep
resented by Assistant State Engineer
Cowgill, was hold at Eagle Point Sat
urday for the purpoM of adjudicat
ing the water rights of that stream
under the state law.
It is the idea of the law to estab
lish the rights of all water-users
along the streams in Oregon, so that
further litigation in regard to water
for cither irrigation or power pur
poses will be eliminated as far as
possible'. -
Under the law, nil water not ap
propriated becomes the property of
the stntc, and nil appropriated water
must be used for a beneficial pur
pose that is, one cannot acquire n
water right nnd hold it without put
ting it to some use. j
The enforcement of the law may

some of the riparian owners, but ,

not only to them'but to the public at j

A final hearing will bo held ut .

fully decided nt the Eagle PPoint j
meeting will bo brought up for con
sideration and adjudication before t
the whole case is submitted to the
state engineer.
