FOOTBALL ASPIRANTS "No mollycoddling" seema to be the motto of Coach Ray Henderson of the Medford Junior high school. Wednesday night Henderson called for recruits for spring football train ing, and the call was answered by over 30 stalwart aspirants. Regular football equipment was isstied and then a few minutes of csllsthenlca was Indulged In. before the coach gave 1 1 men signals. A defensive team waa chivied together In a few minutes, and the fun started. It waa a primitive sort of fun, with a regular hard scrimmage going before the afternoon had be gun to wane. Off tackle thrusts, end-around plays, kick-off practice and the other man-kllltng stunts of re si football were the order of the day. The play ers seemed to enjoy It, however, and the few skinned noses and black eyes sustained counted ltttle in the scale. Henderson has a huskv bunch out this spring, and says that he will undoubtedly have a good squad next year better than the one Inst year. Several lettermen will be hack, and some of the new men may push the veterans hnrd for a position on the first string. Your watch repairing will receive my personal attention. Johnson the Jeweler.

Sam Van Dyke and Lewis Campbell j handled the games like professionals I and the result was swift action and plenty of it. The Bradford-Indian I Creek game had to go to an extra period when the little Indian Creek- I ers overcame a tremendous lesd and tossed the tying basket In the last few seconds of play. They had spent themselves In the final effort and in the extra period, Bradford found It easy to pile up seven points for a 32 to 25 win. Acosta, hardly larger than a sand flea was alj over the floor for Indian Creek, turning In 8 points for his team. Campbell and Crltes for Bradford turned In 12 points each. In the first quarter it looked as if Headquarters Detachment would re venge an early season defeat by tak ing Oregon Caves, but the pace was too fast for the locals. Johnson, Mlchnlowskl and Hognn began get ting tho range and Headquarters was buried under a 42 to 24 count. Ho gan, plnytng under the handicap of a bad thigh, turned In a good game for the locals. In the second draw for places, Humbug nearly caught a tarter In Bradford. Slow In the first quarter, Bradford stepped up the pace until It was nip and tuck for the last two periods, the Mountaineers finally nos ing out 34 to 31.vCUro and Stelngra ber, shortest and tallest men on the team, were the stars. For Bradford, Crltes was high scorer with 13 points. Probably the best game of the day was the semi-final for consolation runner-up between Indian Creek and Headquarters. Starting as a leisurely social gathering of players who liked each other, the game developed into a bitter struggle which ended 33 to 32. Ertel waa high for Indian Creek with 13 points but bantam Acosta again showed that speed and accur acy are better than mere sire. Ho gan. who should haxe been resting his bum arm, led his teammates with 14 points. Indian Crk. (25) (33) Bradford Dugan (4) P. (12) Campbell Acosta (B ......F..
