The se'ond half opened with a rush, the locals endeavoring to regain the lead. Ashland, however, liy a series of clever drihbles and horseshoe shots hy Millard Oruhb succeeded in in creasing the dead by threo baskets. For a time .both teams slackened speed. hi the last few minutes of plav the Ihienjvof the Med ford team was shift ed and the locals scored two baskets and a couple of fouls which Ashlnnd promptly matched. The whistle blew with Ashland five ooinls iu the lead. The star for Ashland was Millard Cirnhh, who covered Ids opponent ef fectively iu defense nnd was a whirl wind on offense, scoring practically all the baskets for the visitors. Williamson nnd Oimstuad starred for the locals, the former playiny; a strong defensive game in addition to anuexiiuf most of Medford's points, Olmstcud, who heretofore has not been thought to have the stuff for big yumes, redeemed himself with a vengeance, mixing it with men great ly his superior in weight. The game wns in manv spots rough, both teams sending their opponents lo the floor at numerous times. Jones of Med ford was particularly unfor tunate, uing to the lloor after almost every scrimmage. liv a comparison of scores, Med fonl seems to have the edge on Ash land liih school, the Armory team having defeated them to 24.

The silent ; sentinels are nothing If not picturesque., and the changing Inscriptions on their ban ners give them a new"interest daily. The inscriptions are taken largely from the president's writings and speeches and servo to remind hi in of his "passion for liberty." If his smiles and bows are any indication Mr. Wilson Is pleased lth the at tention. The president it may he noted In passing is not a Rtlckler for con ventionality or precedent. Hardly a week passes that lie does not shock some hoary conventionality and set up Borne new precedent.
