on the local field for the second
meeting of the two teams this

6 to 6 tie.
In the 1st contest between Med
ford and Eureka, the California

tack featuring 33 passes by Mas-
sero, Eureka fullback reputed to
be one of the best high school
passers on the coast. The Med
ford team held the score to a
tie however with strong defen

gains on the offensive.
Win Over Ashland
Last Friday Eureka handed
the Ashland Grizzlies an 18 to
13 defeat in a hard fought bat
tle on a wet field which sent one
Eureka player, Prentice, out in
the final minutes with a broken
leg.- Again in that contest, the
Eureka passing star, Massero.
came through to put the Griz
zlies on the short end of a close
score.
Coach Lome Arnold, who will
be coaching his last game before
leaving next Monday for Yank
ton, S. D., where he will take
over the duties of physical edu
cation director at Yankton Col
lege, reported today that with
few exceptions the Medford
team Is in good condition for the
game this Friday. Gil Tumy,
right end, will not see action
due to an arm Injury suffered
In the Grants Pass game last
week. Jerry Clark, who took
over the left halfback position
when Steve Dlppel wai Injured,
Is a doubtful starter. Arnold
stated that Clark may see some
action, but that he received
rather severe face Injuries In the
game last week. Dippel, who
saw action In the Grants Pais
gam Just long enough to score
the winning touchdown,- may
play part of the game, but Is not
fully recovered from Injuries
suffered last week when he
slipped and fell In the dressing
rooms following the Grants Pass
game, aggravating a previous in
jury to his leg. Dale Nieder
meyer, on the bench last week
with Injuries recoived in tho

AS FUTURE HOI
Valley Has Record Harvest
This Fall Soldiers Make
- Friends With Residents.
By Russell Annabel
(United Press Correspondent)
Palmer, Alaska (U.R) Troops
helping to bring in the Matanu
ska valley's record harvest this
autumn have decided almost un
animously to return here after
the war and purchase farms.
Pvt. Raymond A. Weiss, Red
Lake Falls, Minn., working be
hind a potato digger in a river
bottom field close under the
soaring white snow peaks of the
Matanuska range, smiled when
he was asked if he intended to
come back to Matanuska after
demobilization. "I sure am," he
said emphatically. "I'm a farm
er myself, and I know a good
thing when I see it. The Aleu
tians aren't so hot, but this
Matanuska country is O.K."
Troops have been working
here since spring. They helped
put in the crops, helped culti
vate them, and now are partici
pating in the harvest They
nave had opportunity to become
acquainted with the best and
the worst sides to farming here,
and the majority of them are
enthusiastic about settling in
the valley. They tell you that
in their opinion prospects are
better here for a limited num
ber of small farmers than In
most places in the States.
"This is a new country and a
man can get in on the ground
floor," said Cpl. Chadwick
Leighton, Spokane, .Wash. "It
isn't worn out, or with all the
best land grabbed, like in a lot
of farming areas outside."
Leighton is a member of the
famed Castner's Cutthroat
Scouts, and when Interviewed
had just come down out of the
mountains. Wearing a buckskin
shirt, a battered campaign hat
and a 45-Colt in a quick-draw
holster, he looked more like a
sourdough than the sourdoughs
themselves.
Many of the troops working
here have made lifelong friends
among the valley farmers, and
several have become engaged to
farm girls. They tell you they
would rather spend a furlough
working here than make a trip
to the States. "Why not?" says
Pvt. Jim Buchanan, Los Ange
les, Cal. "The farmers pay us
$1.25 an hour, including our
board. Besides, there are
dances and parties, and plenty
of hunting and fishing. It's a
swell deal, and I aim to come
back and buy a quarter section
of land and start clearing it."
The mild Matanuska climate,
the abundance of game and fish
in the area, and the richness of
the soil are a revelation to many
soldiers formerly stationed in
the Aleutians, who were of the
opinion that the entire territory
was as bleak and Inhospitable as
Adak, Amchttka and Umnak.
Officials of the Farmers' Co-operative
association, considering
the 50,000 acres of uncleared
land in the valley and the ready
market for all farm produce,
are especially pleased by the
interest soldiers are showing in
Matanuska.
"They are the kind of men
we need here," said M. D. Snod
grass, veteran Matanuska farm
er and former superintendent of
the Government Agricultural
Experiment station here. "They
know how to work, they have
farm backgrounds, and they are
self-reliant Their" decision to
settle down here after the war
is the finest compliment the com
munity has had.
FATHEROFFIVE
LT. PRUIH WITH
P-38SQUADR0N
Washington. Oct' 27 (U.R)
The father of five children,
whose love for a 30-year-old red-
haired secretary turned to hate
when she jilted him, told police
bitterly, "1 tried to stuff her
down a sewer so that the rats
could eat her."
Thus, jealousy appeared today
to be the motive for the brutal
slaying of Mrs. Charlotte Robin
son, a secretary Recreation Serv
ices, Inc.
Police said that Frederic C.
Mergner, 45 -year -old bakery
worker, had confessed murder
ing Mrs. Robinson and told them
that he had been living with her
until a month ago.
