Ashland High Files Protests and Title Tilt Tuesday Still Uncertain PAGE FOUR MAJOR LEAGUE PLAYERS START TRAINING EARLY E BASIS FOR MOVE Seek Forfeiture Second Con testState Board Meets Monday Leeding to Ref eree, if Game Played Uncertainty still mark the holding of the second game of the series to determine the Southern Oregon dis trict basketball championship, next Tusedajr night, In the senior htfb gym, between the Medford and Ash land high school teams. Eight Medford high school youths all basketball plnyors Journeyed to Ashland Thursday, and painted a barn with the school letters. Asniana nign through Superintendent C. A. Briscoe filed a protest Saturday with the state board of athletic control. The board will meet Monday morning at Portland to render a decision, and un til then nothing definite will be known. The office of the school superlnten dent gave the names of the painters, as Robert Hlnman, Stanley Kunzman, William Lumen. Don Steuart, Wayne Harris. Russell Brown. Robert smith and Hoke Curtis. They were caught rad-handed, with the red paint, and sent back to Ashland by Principal c a. smith, with orders to apologize, and remove the paint. Apologies were made to Principal B. C. Forsythe. The school letters were painted on the roof of a barn belonging to a man by the name of Phillips. The structure was not located on Asmana scnooi property. In the clean-up. the barn shingles were turned over, to make time, and now the barn owner asks for further repairs. Another angle developed Saturday morning, when It was found that the letters "A. H. S. ' had been painted on the Medford high school. Cosch Darwin K. Burgher said yes terday that Harry Leeding of Port land, an official of the Portland nign school league, and a Journal sports writer had been agreed upon as rer eree, by both schools, If the gsme Is nlaved. "The state athletlo rules apeelfloally provide, that a school has the right of protest, In cases of vandalism." said Supt. K. H. Hedrlck. yesterday. "It has been a rule for four years, and all Involved knew about It. Prinolpal Smith has repeatedly warned the stu dent body, against any steps that might endanger the athletlo relat ions. In spite of this the boys went to Ashland, and stuck their heads Into the noose. There is nothing that Med ford can do about It." If the protest Is allowed by the state board. Medford forfeits the same, and Ashland automatically be. comes the district champion, and goes to the state meet. Ashland won the first game of the title series, 22 to IB. and the Tuesday night game would have decided the issue, or paved the way for a third game on a neutral floor. The game was originally sched uled for Friday night, but postponed until Tuesday, because of the Inabil ity to agree upon a referee. . Medford and Ashland fans. Interest ed In the game, from only an athletic angle, felt that while Ashland aa within Its technical rights. In pro testing, it should not be allowed to Interfere with the playing of the game, disturb the athletlo relations between the schools, or that a district championship be decided on a "fluke." The Medford team has been erratic all season, playing brilliantly at times, and mediocre In other games. They lost twice to Klamath Falls, which beat Ashland three times. Nei ther team has been up to the South ern Oregon district standard of pro- Tlous years. In Hoxle, Ashland has a potential star, who speclsllzea In long shots. Wayne Harris listed as one of the barn painters has been the most consistent player on the Medrord Mam. This year U the third time. In ten years that Ashlsnd haa had an Inside chance to go to the Salem meet. The rest of the time. Medford high held the supremacy. The present dif ficulty is the first time In five years that the relations between the two traditional rivals haa been atralned.
