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.

Humbug drew a by In the draw for
places in the first two games and was

ed Indian Creek early in the after
noon. Tho five teams were all zone
champions, winners of the beautiful

tenant Craft who arranged the tour
nament. All Medford Is Invited.
Tho games today were easily the
best seen so far this season. Referees!
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
