crowd saw tho contest. -,
JTha miraculous victory of Ashland
over the U. of O. Frosh team a week
ajco, put a slight element of doubt
into the affair, but It only took a min
ute of ply to demonstrate the help
lessness of the visitor, who this year
ljave the least effective teum In yeurs.
Today a lurge majority, of the Med
ford fPfiis are wondering how the
Prosit muimgcd (o lose. It is the out
'fttqmllnu niystery of the year.
1 Throughout the entire game, Ash
land threw but three field goals, their
Other seven points being garnered by
nvlng fouls,

threw'one field goal each.
Chaprb&ll "h the chief nolntmnker
for Aahlluid.;, Ho threw .two new bas
kets and' two, fouls.. Hobson threw the
other basket for the visitors.
The teamwork of tho locals was the
best of atty.Rnihai this season, anl
after the hervousness ot the first few
minutes had passed, they settled down
and showed consistent good work, at
times staging dazzling passing and
co-ordination, Knlps particularly
played a star game thruout, while
Alien at all. times was a tower of
strength.' '
The score nt the end of tho first
half was 14 to 7 In favor of Medford.
In the second half the locals opened
up find' swamped their rivals by a
aeries of lightning plays, in this per
iod!, Allen, Chastaln and Knlps gave a
great exhibition of fast thinking and
Slaying, and (n the last minute Coach
alllsim ran In his second team, while
Ashland resorted to long shooting in
a dosporate effort to bring up their
score... ' .
' tfhe Medford rooting and singing
was directed by Miko Jacobs, a likely
looking aspirant for all-stute yell
