SIGNED FOR PLAY
IN KATBALL LOOP
With the definite signing of nine
klttenball teams for entrance In the
fast league, the campaign to light
the high school football field was
progressing nicely today. Many more
outfits are expected to pledge their
entrance In the secondary, or In
dustrial, circuit and officials work
ing on the project were confident the
required number of clubs would be
lined up within tho next few days.
Teams which have- already pledged
their entrance fee of $15 are Ofttce
Boys. Jennings Tire, 20-30 club. Cath
olic young men, Hughes fit Under
wood high school. Moose lodge. Tim
ber Products and Lamport's. Those
teams, to compose the fast league,
will play regardless of whether the
field is' lighted or not.
Russ Acheson. athletic coach of
Medford Junior high' school, who la
lining up the teams, stated that the
15 entrance fees would be used to
light the field, and that at least 30
clubs would be necessary before in
stallation of the glimmers was as
sured. Tho secondary, or Industrial league.
Acheson said, would consist of teams
yet to pledge their entrance, among
which to be contacted wero the Oates
Auto, postofflec, Copco, Standard Oil.
Mall Tribune, Shell Oil, Western
States, Lions club. Elks club, Rotary
club. Groceteria, Montgomery Ward
National Guard and others.
It was pointed out that kitten
boll had become. In a short span of
years, the most popular of sports for
the working man; a sport that pro
vides mild cxcrci5e and does not re
quire a great amount of skill. A be
ginner may enjoy the game as much
as a veteran.
"We are urging people to support
this program because It will flnaix
the lighting of our fine athletic field."
Acheson stated. "With a lighting
system Installed, a wider range of
activities will bo presented on the
field, such as evening track meets,
pageants, night football in addition
to klttenball. '

Belcastro earned his right to a
main billing by fouling and roughing
Alvln Brltt into oblivion. Against
Trout, he will discover that a grappler

characteristics to a marked degree.

Oren Collins ot the Alaska game
commtaslon'a Arctic patrol, who
would like to back a few Eskimos
against marathon runnera and

"Eskimos are Inferior to white

Collins aald. "I could beat them

tn loose snow without appearing
tired, though they are clothed In

He told of holding his handa
