ASHLAND QUINTET PELICANS, 45 TO 33 Ashland, Jan, 13. Showing the class which carried them to the state basketball champion' ship last March, Ashland High school's quintet outfought and out scored Klamath Falls Fell- cans here Friday night to score a 45-33 victory. Except for a close first period in which the lead changed hands four times, Ashland had definite command of the game and Klamath never had a chance. Outclassed after that first quarter, Klamath was the vic tim of Ashland speed and de ception - as the Grizzlies out smarted their southern Oregon conference, foe time after time. Jay Samuelson and Jimmie Jandreau, carrying the brunt of the Grizzly attack, broke through a loose Pelican defense for easy lay-In shots. Had Ash land's shooting eye been as good as their offense ana aieeirse, Klamath would have taken an Unmerciful lacing. Although Samuelson and Jandreau were the spark plugs of Ashland's attack, equal credit belongs to John Reedy, Dommie Provost and "Puss" O'Harra who helped to set up the many plays which baffled Klamath Falls. The Pelicans scored the first basket before the game was a minute old but Ashland came right back to tie It up. The lead see-sawed with Klamath on the top side of a narrow 13-12 bar- gin at the end of the first quar ter. In the second stanza Ash land's power began to click and the Grizzlies were enjoying a 20-14. bulge when the teams went to the dressing rooms at the half way mark. It was the third quarter In which Klamath really hit their downfall with Ashland collect ing 13 points before Klamath could score. End of the period favored Ashland 34 to 23. Klam ath collected 10 points In the last quarter while Ashland was amassing 11. In the preliminary game Ash land Junior High whipped Grants Pass frosh 32 to 18 in a southern Oregon Junior high conference tilt.

Llllard had planed to put the winner of last night's Pete Bolesastro-Gust Johnson match In With the Mask but the bout ended In a draw. Both want the match so Llllard is is at a loss as to what to do. Belcastro displayed a lot of his former speed in gaining the draw with Johnson and holds the up per hand, LUlarJ said. Jack Klser, coast light heavy weight wrestling champion, will be back on the card and Milt Olson and Terrible Tony Ross are scheduled to appear on the program, according to the pro moter.

Sberrill, Chief of the Central Procurement Agency, says: MTo turn to tie "West Coast industry to help apply in this very critical situation a largo oUupe of the urgently needed hoard ind dimension lumber required for boxing and crating to ship munition! and food supplies overseas," IMMEDIATE ACTION must be taken by every available man and woman NOW. Do this: 1. Contact your local U. S.N Employment office, Sixth and Fir Streets, In Medford, and ask for assignment to .the logging camp or mill of your choice, or apply for Immediate employment direct. 2. Contact by telephone or In person all the mills or camps In your vicinity to find out the kind of help needod and whether or not you can help meet thii emergency. TTOS IS A TOUGH TIME OF YEAR FOR LOGGING- but remember, lt't a tough time of year for the boyt at the front toot Don't let 'em down! MORE SHELLS-MORE BOXES-MORE LUMBER NEEDED NOW! This is no time to let up . . . nor to dream of the postwar world. Our boys are fighting and dying in the bitterest struggle of all time. They need more ammunition. They need more lumber for boxes and crates to ship that amrnu ' nition to the fighting front NOW is the time to face the plain, unvarnished facts -and ACT. Lumber needs total over 9 billion board feet for the first three months of 1913. At the present rate of production, only 7i billion feet will be manufactured. Hiere is the worst bottleneck? It's in manpower! Lack of manpower in sawmills and logging camps. In many cases unskilled help can be used. It is up to every man and woman in this critical wood-producing area to get into the fight.

O There are, of course, many "hard to get" items in men's clothing and accessories. We have been fortunate in our market connections and been able thus far to supply most of the needs of our southern Oregon patron We feel, here at Uta's, that EVERYONE should have an equal opportunity to secure the scarce items needed and that is why ALL merchandise at this store is ON THE COUNTERS and ON THE RACKS. There's no merchandise under the counters or set aside for so-called "privileged" customers. We don't consider such a policy fair and we're not going to indulge in it at Utz's. So, if items are scarce and we have them It will be a case of "first come, first served". Our old customers and new will agree with us that this Is the best and fairest policy.
