Next Tuesday night, the Orlr ?.l les will dedi cate their newly lighted gridiron with a glgantl atrugglo between next season's vorsttv a u a d milj Bales and thta yeor'a graduating seniors. The encounter will climax several weeks of spring practice for Coach Skeet O'Connell's 1038 aggregation, and will give a pretty clear Insight of what to expect from the arlwilles come next fall. Ash land's action In moving It football out under the atnrs and glimmers makes It unanimous In the Southern Oregon conference; the boys will do all their blocking and. tackling at night next season. Qnnts Pass and Klamath Falls went for the lamps in 1038, and Medford fol lowed suit last year. When those three schools shattered attendance records wllth their night Rames and the money started to pile up In the box office, Ashland aaw the llRht. As a result, there will be little day time football displayed next autumn, which Is OK with all concerned. Juit one more step remains to be taken, and Ashland will have a football field to compare with that of Medrord's, the finest In the state, and that Is turfing. Cnach O'Connell said grass would liiimt certainly be planted Tor the l.is.l season. Kliumith Talis will play on turf next season, and probably by 1030 Grants Pass will lay down a carpet of lawn. When, and If, such occurs, what a font hall Actup there will he here In southern Oregon HghM and turf on all four ptrlrtlront. Itently big time stuff. will constat of regulation quarters of 13 minutes each, and be conduct ed like any official encounter. Jean Eberhart of Southern Oregon Normal and Clyde Young will do the officiat ing. Skeet said Ashland would have a pretty fair team next season. Five lettermen will return, all of whom will participate In the brawl Tues day, and several newenmers are de veloping nicely, he explnlnod. Charlie Warren at quarter, Harris at full, and Bob Gregory are the returning backs, and Joe Jessel, end, and Brady, guard, will be on hand In the forward wall. The mentor 1a espe cially pleased with the spring prac tice performance of Nosier and Lind say, tackles. The varsity team will be completed with Ardls Warren, halfback; silver, end; Wllllnms. cen ter: and E. Schilling, guard. Catfish Derby Management Invites All Candidates to Attend and Make Speeches As an added feature of unusual entertainment value, all candidates for public office will be Invited to apeak at the second annual national c&tflah derby at Emigrant lake near Ashland, Bunday, May 15, It was an nounced today by Frank Perl, derby association president. tths win be wonderful oppor- About this football game Tuesday night. O'Connell assures us it will be the real McCoy, and something of a grudge battle, ft seems the gradu ating seniors have been popping off around town to the tune of a win by 18 tallies, and that the varsity doesn't like it much. O'Connell says his outfit Is honestly In great condi tion followlns plenty of tough sprlnp practice scrlmmnge seMlons. and that fans will witness an honest-to-goodnesa plpskln clssh. The game Leonard Warren. SONS footballer last yenr and former Grizzly star, has been coaching the graduating ag gregation, and will come up with a lineup studded with stars. It In cludes Stewart and Jones, ends; Schilling and Ring, tackles: Bell and Forsythe, guard; Scheldereiter. cen ter; Weaver, quarter; McLean and Caton, halves; and McNalr, fullback. Caton Is the half-pint sprint star who last Friday night whrzzed over a slow and wet track here In lO.t In the 100-yard dnh. There Is also a possibility that Steve Fowler, now n Webfoot ot Eugene but formerly Grizzly fullback, will Journey down for the game. Appropriate ceremonies will take place as A thin nil get Its first glimpse of night football lights.' nnd also Its first, spring grlillrnn rlnsli. .Mayor T. S. Wi ley will make a speech, and Dr. R.

Although one of the wealthiest tems In the major leagues, Detroit has not followed the style of exten sive minor league holdings, like the St. Louis Cardlnala and New York Yankees, and conducts its search for development of young players In a far different manner. The Tigers, owned hy Milllonare Walter O. Brings, Sr., has only one minor league farm Beaumont of the Class A-l Texas league and Justin Fltrccrnld. Snnta Clara baseball coach and Detroit scout, told ua that the Tigers were not overly Interested In any yountrster that didn't display positive promise of developing Into major leaguer. "St. Louis. New York and other bis league clubs who own many minor league farm teams, will pick up almost any kid that looks good." Fitzgerald said. "TVey hove to be It to keep their fnrm clubs supplied with players. Detroit doesn't work like that. Unless a youngster shows rare promte. we. dont fool with him." tunlty for both the candidates and the spectators," Mr. Perl emphoslbzed. "It will be only live days before the primary election and the big sporta event will afford the candidates one of their final chances to address an audience. And at the catfish derby they will probably have the largest audience of the campaign.' Each candidate who speaks will pay a privilege fee of two bit to help defray derby expenses, Mr. Perl said. The talks wilt be limited to three minutes unless the candidates want to pay four bite. In which cose they may talk for five minutes, he related. "The Important part, however. Is that the candidates must tell a fish yarn." Mr. Perl stated.- "There will be no hoey about wbat they are going to do for the people if they are elected. The whole catfish derby celebration must be kept on an hon est basis. Fish Stories Wanted "The candidate who tells the best fish story, as Judged by spectator applause, will be charged an addi tional fee of four bits." Mr. Perl em phasized. "This additional charge ought to produce some excellent yarns." Hearing of the new derby fea ture, sportsmen were of the opinion that Candidate rtank Rector ought to come off with story-telling non- ors. Mr. Rector, It was said, has the edtre of the other candidates because he is what Gov. Charles H. Martin calls a "fishing nut." Nothing pleases Mr. Rector more than to be the first i fisherman out for the season as the various streams and lakes are opened to nngllng. And when It cornea to telling about his angling prowess, well, Mr. Rector Is In a cless by him self. Orenbemer Renowned It Is figured that when It comes to fish story telling Mr. Rector could be beaten, and beaten badly, by Deputy Sheriff Bill Orenbemer, but Bill Is not a candidate for office and so Is disqualified to enter the story telling contest. Candidates Bill Coleman and Jerry Jerome are considered good story tellers too, but their yarns run along different lines. It Is believed, how ever, that they can rise to the oc casion and change the subject of their tales to bring In the fishing angle. A loud speaker system will be used at the lake site so that all can hear the talks and everything else that goes on at the derby.
