Thanksgiving game.
Harold Merrill appeared at foot
ball pratice again last week after an
absence of nearly a month and is
showing lots of pep after his vaca-
tion.
The alumni have caused a good
deal of commotion lately and it is
quite dangerous for a member of the
football squad to be seen down town
at late hours.
The alumni game which was to
have been played Saturday was called
off the early part of the week as
some q the alumni team would not
be present for the fracas.
! The seniors have decided to put
out a first class orchestra owing to
the extraordinary quality of the mu-
sic presented at the banquet last Sat-
urday evening. They undoubtedly
have some fine material.
Arthur Wallace was given a quiet
little reception Thursday evening
when caught out at late hours by
several of Coach Proctor's emissaries.
1t pays to be looking out these days;
the alumni are not so harmless as
they might seem.
Gravy Plymate and George Haines,
both formerly of the football squad,
have left Ashland on a tour of their
own through some of the northern
cities. When last heard of they
were in Albany and they claim to be
seeing all the big games up that way.
The football squad practiced cou-
pie of hours Saturday morning for
the amusement of Coach Proctor and
will be kept working steadily the
coming week, eight more practice
evenings being scheduled before the
big game with klamath, Thanksgiv-
ing
The basketball game between the
junior-freshmen girls and the senior
sophomore team will be played Mon

to be called promptly at p. M
The contest will undoubtedly be fast
and exciting and will be well worth
watching.
The students of the Ashland Poly
technic College, hitherto unknown in
athletic circles, have determined to
put out championship basketball
team this season. There are several
good men in the school and the stu
dents think that by proper support
and hard work they may be able to
put out team that will beat the
high school. We should worry,
The Medford- Grants Pass football
game scheduled to have been played
in Medford Saturday has been called
off owing to Grants Pass unexpected
showing in recent game with Ash
land. Medford also tried to cancel
the Ashland game there the 22nd
but found themselves in no condition
to be able to do so since the contract
gives the game to Ashland by forfeit
in such a case.
The high school anniversary play
will be pulled off the Tuesday fol-
lowing Thanksgiving if present plans
prevail. The program on that even
ing will consist of debate and other
features besides the plays. The
statement of the debate question has
not yet been made public, but the
) feature promises to be a good one
with such competent debaters as
Walter Carpenterfi Oneita Barnard,
Jay Withrow and Kenneth King TAX
ing part.
There are two more games of the
Ashland schedule yet to be played,
that with Medford next Saturday and
! the all-important game to decide the
. southern Oregon championship,
Thanksgiving. On account of the
| holiday a large attendance of busi-
. ness men is expected. The tickets to
this game will be in the form of tags
which are to be worn by all pur-
chasers in order to make big boost
for a record-breaking attendance in
what promises to be the fastest and
. most interesting game seen in Ash
land for a good while. Thursday
