The woond half ended ir.Ak
inff a five minute overtime period;
ne-coisary to play off the tie. Two,
minutes rt waa given the players,
fitter which the play started auin. t
Werteirren. Astoria a star left for-
tvord dropped one through the ring
from a position past the center o the
floor, lieeney cho and the ball
rolled around the rim and toppled
off. The same thin? happened to
SiiiKk-r and BuuRhman. A foul wis
eallrd on SinpW-r for holding and the
rt-fMVo allowed Astoria two niiot.
Weetegren converted both. Shortly
afterwurd Westegren shot success
fully again from the c-nt?r of the
floor. Kiojfler shot and the sphere
hovered on the rim and feil again,

- Astoria had made six points and
M-dford had failrd to score in the
lost -five minutes of pLiy. Medford
actually made ZZ points during the
rvgular two halves of the gamo, but
two of the borketa did not count. One
thrown by Chart ain was ruled out,
the referee blowing his whistle and
calling: a held ball white the bull was
in mid-air. The other, thrown by
Haughman. was ruled out when a
foul was called on an Astoria man

OtM foUi OUt Of tWO.
Tho l?ame was one of the tightest
corneals ever seen by local fans and
the Medford system of attack did not
work smoothly on the floor which
was nearly as wide as it was long.
The Individual ability of players to
guard closely and to evade guarding
vsup paramount while teamwork was
at a discount because of the short
floor.
The Medford guard, who seldom
attempt to stop a man until after he
has passed the center line a consider
able distance, were placed at a dis
advantage by Astoria's forwards who
tthotless than half a dozen times
from a position Inside of the foul line.
' Although the fifty or more Med
ford fans who were present, rooting
for the team, were sadly disappoint
ed, they took the defeat in good spirit
and the majority of them will stay
10 we the rest of the tournament.
. .The fans were pleased with the;
action of the team regardless of the;
defeat. The important part was how.
Mttdford's tOK-sers had played the
prime and everyone was satisfied with;
their sportsmanship and clean tac
tics. '
Only four fouls were called on
Medford. three on Singlor and one
on Iteeney, for which five shots were
allowed. WeateRren of Astoria con
verted, four.
Eleven fouls were called on Asto
ria and Anderson. Astoria Kuard, was
ruled off the floor for having com
mitted four personal fouls. Klminki,
Arftoria forward, had three fouln
atmtnst him whortly after the second
who played. Each rave all he had
and each played fairly and squarely.
It is predicted by Medford fans
who have seen several of the tour
nament games that Astoria and Sa

pionship. Uneup:

nastall. If advertising can bring it
about, 1923 and tho years that follow
are destined to witness an Invasion of
new people such as California has not
known since the epochal days of lu
golden youth. '
In this direction the following edi
torial from the San Francisco Exam
iner of March 9 Is Illuminating:
The Power of Enthusiasm
Tbo power of enthusiasm Is beyond
measuring. That is the chief force re
quired for tho campaign of Callfornl
ans. Vnlncorporated, which "The Ex
aminer" has bwn seeking to direct
during the past week.
Tho Incorporated Callfornlans. with
an advertising fund and a great organ
ization, are doing a great work, which
Is winning amazing results.
What It Is doing Calilornians, l"n:n
corpornted, can supplement and assist
Each one of us Is a Callfomlan. It
goes without saying each one of us Is
enthusiastic. And being a Callfbor
r.ian. of course, has nothing to do with
the accident of tho place ot birth.
No matter what the place of origin,
six months In California makes a Call-foi-nlan.
As Mr. Carroll would havo;
said, that's logic
What each ono of us can do, as n
committee of one, in this vast army of
Callfornians, Unincorporated, is sim
ply to take it upon ourselt' to connect,
by mall, with folks we know in the
cast or middlo west.
Use that connection to tell, with ill
the enthusiasm we possess, all
know about 'why this particular sec
tion of California Is about the best
Iart of the world, the veritable master
piece of creating Nature.
And If we are short on the hard
facts, if nil we possess in our own
emotional convictions about It. born of
living here for a shorter or longer
time, let us use some of the great
quantity of facts "The Examiner" has
been printing during the past week,
and will be publishing for some time
to come. J
Theto Is no dearth of facts, plain,
simple, straightforward, honest acts
All we heed do Is couple the facts
with the enthusiasm we feel about
their significance. And spill that en
thusiasm among folks who do not yet
know tho happinesses that art- pecu
liar to life til California, and espccially
in this part of California. j
So doing, wo become nctive mem

It may be a new roof, or some convenient built-in

Possibly a glittering, "dance alluring," hard wood

An addition to the bedroom or a sleeping porch
