MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1932 PXGB FOURTEEN H, 1 ELKS SPELLERS FIGHT TO A bitter battle to the end, that nnual epic struggle, the Elk' spell ing bee, ended In a draw last night before a large gallery ol spelling farm followlnii the match, round ny rouna True to his trust a captain, Quo Newbury was the last to go down on his side, while Court Kail, leader of bis hand-picked crew, remained al most to the finish, encountering bad weather in the word "collectible," and coming down in a forced landing. The match was one of the moat orderly In many years and at the same time revealed the spellers to be In the pink of condition, spelling words which in past years had proved gtnibllng blocks. In their hast to epell rapidly, however, contestants tolled on worda they had known since grammar school days. Banks of the Newbury and Hall contingent were strengthened by the presence of sev eral lady Elks, who withstood numer ous barrages only to finally succumb. For a round or two there were no casualties until Raymond Retcr of the Newbury forces forgot there was an V on the end of "breathe," and with scholarly aplomb was mo tioned to his seat by Schoolmaster Delroy Oetchell. It was not long until others followed him. One of the stars of the Kail spellers, Mrs. Joe Pllegel, stumbled on "awkward," leav. ixis out the socond "w." John Niedermeyer had good Inten tions with the word "surgeon," but blurted out s-e-r-g-o-o-n. While Mrs. Hamilton Patton was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of Newbury, enthusiastic" sent her down, follow ed by Mrs. Carl Bowman, who was generous with "l's" in partial. At this point Captain Hall charged stalling tactics In the Newbury ranks between Ralph Kooaer and Olenn fimith, but with his usual efficiency. Schoolmaster Oetchell soon had peace restored. Joe Tliegel started out bravely on "aisle" but failed. Smith high school principal, started equally as courageously on "isle" and forgot to mention the "s." Bert Thierolff tailed on the same word. For years Louis Ulrlch had known the orthography of "corps," but when It Was given to him, he gave up with out a struggle. Mrs. Olenn Smith fell by the wayside on the same one, while Phil Lou ns berry, who used to be one of the champion bicycle rid ers of Medford, forgot the letters used In "pedal." Don Newbury, an other Hall supporter, became puzzled on "stationary," and Dr. Goldsberry on "contagious.1 C. T. Baker failed to remember nls spelling rules and took his seat when 'receive" came his way. Cole Holmes, who had come through with colors flying on several difficult tests, added an "e" to "chaperon." Walter Olm soliled tried hard of "ambassador," but In his anxiety missed. George Neilson did no better on "benefited," when he used too many "t's." C. O. Lemmon end Mrs. Walter Rowley had Ideas on "parallel" but did not voice them properly. Ralph Kooaer had spent the even ing before practicing on "eligible," but when he tried to spell it, down he went, followed by August K locker, one of Newbury's anchor men, who didn't do so well with "hypocrite." Xast year Klocker was one of the last men to go down. When It had begun to appear that Hamilton Patton would keep on go ing forever, along came "marvelous." Walter Rowley tried "srnly" and fail ed, while Joe Marshall thought be could spell "parallelepipedon." He progressed no further than "para." Austin Frazler was one of the last three in the Newbury ranks. He made his farowell bow on "paranoiac," Victor Tengwald and E. C. Ferguson stood their ground after their captain failed on "collectible," "Fergle" kept on spelling until a catchword, "Par affin," came his way. This left Qua Newbury and Ernest Rostel on the other side. Out came the word "foray" and Hostel spelled it f-o-r-a-j but did not know the schoolmaster was looking aft another method oi spelling the word as "forray." Either method was correct, the schoolmaster later stated, but Rostel went down, PSintns h nlW In stnmhat irrnv Newbury and Tengwald were ready I for the worst. It came with the iext 1 word, "amerceahle." Cnptaln New-1 bury missed and when It came to Tengwald he missed as well, causing the big match to end in a draw. Last year Tengwald came through the match unscathed. In view of last night's spelling, he defended his championship title well. Schoolmaster Oetchell stated there was more good spelling in the en counter than he had heard for many years, stating further all the words I out of an advanced apetllngbook were exhausted and the dictionary was found necessary to bring the match to a close. He was especially proud of the group In spelling the entire list of catchwords he had prepared, j Including such teasers as: rarefied.! naphtha, kimono, picnicking, huttai. i Ion, liquefy, sacrilegious, biscuit, I charivari, consensus, occurred, libel- i ous, limned, recommend, collectible I and paraffin. The last word, before ! It was missed by Ferguson, had been i spelled correctly once before during ! the evening. The schoolmaster declared the j spelling was on a par with sny cham-j ptonshlp school class and was espec-; tally pleased with the manner In ' which Captains Newbury and Hall j conducted themselves, remembering some of the matches In years gone hy, especially one when Hall spelled "spinach" as "splnage, and Newbury Kpelled "garage" with a "j." Following the spelling bee, refresh inents were served and dancing was enjoyed, bringing to an end an even lng filled with genuine entertainment and Incidentally the last day of Ralph Kooaers ralgn as exalted ruler, fin lshlng one of the most successful years In the history of the lodge. He it being followed by Joe Fllegel as exalted ruler.
