Klamath Cagers Come Over the Hill Seeking Revenge on Tigers PAOE TEN PAIR OF DEFEATS E COURT Fast, Hard Battle Antici pated by Locals Prelim Between Medford-Ashland Juniors Starts at 7:15 The Klamatb Fall! high school basketball team, rangy and danger oua, arrived In Medford this after noon still smouldering from two defeats at the hands of the Medford Tlgera on the Pelican's own floor, and ready to explode on the Medford floor tonight. Accompanying (he team was s large delegation of Klamath rooters and the high school band. The Klamath squad has come for ward rapidly since the Invasion by Medford, and the locals are antici pating a fast, bard battle. Coach Bowerman has given his men a stiff workout every night this week, and has pronounced them In ex cellent condition for the fray. Asked what his team's chances are of making It three straight against the Pelicans, the coach replied: "I've given up predicting basketball." The preliminary struggle, which Is scheduled to start at 7:15 an hour before the main encounter, is expected to be equally exciting, as the fast Improving Medford Juniors tangle with the Ashland Juniors who slready hold one victory over the locals. Harold Baughman, high scoring Ashland forward out of the earlier gams because of Illness, will be In the starting lineup and Is ex pected to be the spearhesd of the Llthlan attack.

FANDOM RANDOM Br DICK APPI.KOATB The lsst glimmering hope that the Medford high school bssketbsll team would nose out Ashland high down the home stretch and represent this district at the ststs tournament In Salem, guttered and died entirely last night as the Llthlans ground the Orsnts Psss Cavemen Into the floor with a 38-8 beating. Ashland, with only one loss In the regular league season, thus becomes the second team In the state to be able to announce their Impending Journey to the stste capltol for the play-off for slate honors, for the third straight year. The Salem high school Is, of course, the first, they being the host team and always entered regardless of how successful or disastrous their season may be. As Coach Bowerman so aptly put It, It Is Just as well that the Llthlans got the nod for the Salem Journay. "We're not championship contenders, end we know it," Bowerman aald, "and we'll be all for Aahland when they get up north. In the meantime we hava one more game coming up with them, and we're going to do our best to knock their ears down. It won't do them any harm If we do win, and It will make them that much more dangerous when they start playing In the tournament. Of course ws want Ashlsnd to win. I.' they take the stats tournament It will mafca us feel better because we lost to the chsmplons Instead of to the also-rans.' Ths state tournament committee from Wlllemette university, sponsors of ths annual play-off series, aro supposed to pay all , the expenses of ths visiting teams, lodging, meals snd transportation,' out of 'the gate receipts. With teams from all over the state entered, each team hopef Jl of grabbing the state wreath, Salem la Jsmmed with students snd loyal townspeople there for the series, anu the tournament Is seldom a financial drag on the Willamette purse. Schools attending generally nave to pungle up some coin of their own, however. While the major ex penses sre tsken care of, each sohool haa Incidental expenses such aa send ing the players to an occasional muv lnee to get their minds off Important games, and such Items, but ths sugr.t loss Is negligible compared to the satisfaction the students get from placing In the top frame. Klamath tails, Isolated as she Is from other rifles by mountain barriers and ley roads through most of the athletic seasons, Is trying hard to find a "traditional rival," such as Medford has In Ashland. Traditional rivalry Is good for schools, boosting the gate attendance, and making gomes a little more exciting from the rivalry point of view. At var ious Intervals Klamath has set tled upon Bend, Ashland and Medford. For the past several years the heat between the Med ford and Klamath schools has coma dangerously close to Ignit ing the fires of civil war, the beef In the newspapers following the last football gama being a good eva tuple. , For several seasons now Klamath merchants have offered awards to Klamath players participating In a football game In which Medford Is downed. All that ts great stuff, and gives the players something extra to shoot at. No other team that p1as against the Tlgera Is quite so loyal In sending car-load after car-load of rooters to the games as Is Klamath. Two years ago 80 prlvat cars, each decorated with red and white ban ners. Invaded the city and put on a little Informal serpentining, adding greatly to the local Interest In the game. Now today they send their band over here. If Ashland, old as the rivalry Is, Isn't careful, Klamath and Medford are apt to get together and start some new traditions We found the following on our desk this morning, with no explana tions attached, and pass It on to you for what It's worth; "Orade School Wagner Creek 1 1 .
