E. C. "Jerry" Jerome, who
represented Hillah Temple at
festivities in San Francisco be
fore and following the annual
East-West shrine football game,
entertainly told members of the
Medford Shrine luncheon club
about his trip, as a feature of
the club's Friday noon program
at Hotel Medford. He described
the banquet at the Oakland
Athens club before the game, at
which time beautiful engraved
wrist watches were presented
to members of both squads, and
the brilliant Shrine ball held
after the game.
"The eastern coaches as well
as the majority of bay city sport
fans, anticipated an East vic
tory, Jerome told the Shriners
"The visit of the husky football
players to the Shriners hospital
for crippled children in San
Francisco was a touching one.
The little crippled children gave
their yells for the two teams
and the all-stars left the hospital
with tears in their eyes and a
solemn resolution to play their
finest brand of football.
It was a grand game, Jerome
said, marked with sparkling
playing and dazzling pass work
The West line was especially
outstanding. The loss of Med
fold's own Bob Smith, who was
scheduled to lead the West's
passing offense, was a blow to
the hopes of the West, but the
coast boys overcame this loss
with as brilliant playing as has
ever been seen in Kczar sta
dium. Between halves, 2500 Shrin
ers in colorful array paraded
for the fans despite the heavy
rain, Jerome said. The Hiilah
Temple drum corps, a Klamath
Falls unit, was featured in the
pre-game festivities.
Between $50,000 and $55,000
was netted for benefit of the
crippled children's hospitals. At
this game, scouts for profes
sional teams were on hand to
eye the performance of the cast
and west all-stars.
Mr. Jerome also told of his
interesting interview with Im
perial Potentate Walter D. Cline,
who pointed out the fact that
membership in the Mystic
Shrine is exceptionally high and
that southern Oregon's Hillah
Temple is near the top of the
list in percentage of the mem
bership holding life member
ships in the Shriners' hospitals.
Recorder R. E. Detrick of
Ashland told the Shrine club
members that finances of the
local temple are now in best
condition in years. Hal McNair,
temple trustee, also of Ashland,
was a guest at Friday's meeting
