More HOnOrS Are Gained
By Local Football Team

ed with klamath leading the period
by wide margin.
The fourth quarter brought back
both teams playing like so many
tigers. Many time each side was
held for downs and forced to punt.
Finally Spencer received a kick, shook
off several tacklers and reeled off 80
yards before being halted. Two for
ward passes and wide end run put
the ball on Klamath's 25-yard line,
but the three following onslaughts by
the Ashland backs were stopped by
the klamath Falls line without an
inch of gain. A place kick was at
tempted and Delsman's trusty toe
sent the pigskin square between the
uprights for three more points. Two
downs after the kickoff, time was
called. Final score, Ashland Is,
Klamath Falls 0.
1t was the brilliant defensive work
of little Gus Page, left half for
klamath Falls. that most inspired
the rooters with sincere hope for
victory, for time and time again this
game little fighter saved many yards
Quarterback Noel were also promi-
nent fighters.
For Ashland it would be hard to
pick out a man whose work outshown
his teammates. The backfield and
line alike fought to the last ditch and
luck seemed on their side. The de-
fensive playing of Tackles Wagner
and Young was nothing short of mar
velous.
No athletic team was ever given
more loyal support than was klamath
Falls eleven by their fellow students.
Every girl in school was out in a
white dress, red sweater and rooter's
cap, and formed a most inspiring
spectacle. The united yells and song
of over 200 klamath students at
tracted attention on all sides and too
much credit cannot be given Yell
Leader Sevits. All business houses
closed for two hours and a crowd of
over six hundred loyal rooters were
on hand. A big street parade preced-
ed the game. The admission charge
was 30 cents

paign against Booth. Mr.. Booth then
replied briefly. Disorder marked the

Gun Goes Off;
Man Loses Hand

Nick Cantoni, a section man, was
injured Sunday while hunting about
half mile north of Billings ranch.
The gun went off in a manner he was
unable to explain while his hand was
holding the muzzle. The ball passed
through his hand and shattered the
wrist bones. He still had grit enough
to walk to Billings place and asked
that a doctor be called. They tele-
phoned for DR.. Gregg, who promptly
went to his aid. The arm was so bad
ly injured that it had to be taken off
just below the elbow.

shoe store is most attractive, as a
result of Mr.. Briggs efforts in ar
ranging It. The white panel work of
the back of the window box is COW

splendent autumn leaves, making an
effect of perfectly blended color, such
as only nature can produce. In the

shoes are arranged most artistically,
each shoe resting on a big autumn

In the most brilliant and spectacu-
lar gridiron contest ever staged in
southern Oregon the Ashland high
football warriors, plunging and fight
ing to the last ditch, defeated the
gamest team that ever represented
Klamath high Is to in Modoc Park,
Saturday.
Although the score may seem lit
tie top heavy it does not detract a
single feature from the do or die
spirit and playing done by the Klam-
ath huskies, neither does it show that
the visitors had them outclassed in
any department of the game.
At 1880 Delsman kicked to Captain
Noel, who returned the ball ten yards
before hitting the ground with dull
thud, caused by Left End Mayfield.
Three times klamath attempted the
famous Minnesota shift play and
three times it went for naught. Noel
punted to Spencer, who by brilliant
open field running ran the ball back
to Klamath's 25-yard line. The over
anxious klamath team was Slightly

smashes by Delsman and a short end
run, Spencer again taking the pigskin
put the visitors six points to the
good. Delsman missed goal. From
this time on the Klamath warriors
hit their stride and only by an almost
superhuman effort were the visitors
able to hold their own. On one occa-
sion this quarter klamath had the
ball on Ashland's 10-yard line, but
the visitors held for downs and Ply
mate punted out of danger, Holmes
dropping Quarterback Noel in his
tracks. The second period ended with
the ball in Ashland's territory, both
teams playing desperately.
The second period commenced with
Ashland gathering in a costly tumble
by the Klamath backs. Ashland was
held for downs and Plymate punted
40 yards to Noel, who returned the
kick 20 yards, dashing his way
through a bevy of would-be tacklers
before finally being stopped. A fake
forward pass netted klamath II

Booth Answers West
In Joint Debate
(By Associated Press.)

Portland, Oct. "a large crowd
which packed local theatre from pit
to topmost gallery tonight heard
Governor Oswald West, democrat, att
tack Robert A. Booth, republican
nominee for United States senator,
when he accused him of having acz
quired timber lands by unlawful
means and of general unfitness, saw
Mr.. Booth listen as the governor
spoke and then heard him reply.
The debate had been arranged as
the result of two challenges to the
governor by Mr.. Booth. Governor
West had been campaigning in be-
half of Senator George E. Chamber
lain, democrat who is running for
reelection against Mr.. Booth and
William Hanley, progressive nomi-
nee. In speeches en- tour he had re-
peatedly charged that Mr.. Booth ac-
quired a part of his extensive timber
holdings by fraud.
Mr.. Booth opened tonight's debate,
denying Governor Vests charges.
The governor then spoke, reaffirm-
ing them, and Mr. Booth closed in
rebuttal.
Public interest in the event was
unusually high.
AS early as o'clock in the after
noon people began crowding into the
theatre BY o'clock when the de-
bate bagan, not only was the theatre
packed to suffocation. but hundreds
outside were unable to gain admit
tance
Mr.. Booth took the platform at
SOS and for fully half minute the
applause prevented him from speak
ing. II am not here for applause" "
he finally said, as the noise subsidized; {;
"all ask, and all l hope and all |
am entitled to is fair hearing. First
want to call your attention to the
type of man who is accusing me. Let
me review some of the bounding he
and others of his kind have conduct
ed against other citizens of your state
besides myself, whose names have
nevertheless, in these later years,
been cleared of the shadows that they
thought to cast upon them"
Mr.. Booth then said that the first
question that had been brought
against his company's title to the
lands it had acquired was through
the activities of Francis j. Heney and
w. j. Burns, and that Oswald West
had been one of the agents hired by
Burns to investigate the records of
possible jurors and to pack the jury
box" against the men who were in
dicted in the land cases. Mr. Booth
read samples of some of the reports
Mr.. West had turned in to Burns, in
which It was told how they might be
expected to vote on jury in the land
case.
"In his reports" said Mr.. Booth,
"Mr. West called men good of whom
Mr.. Burns said in other reports:
These men would convict Christ.
This is the type of man who has
accused me and who was a party to
this persistent bounding OF the men
of whom you know"
