MedfOrd-AShland
Cup Series Tied

Two surprises were sprung on the
fans at MedfoTd last Friday evening
when the Ashland high school girls
basketball team defeated the Med
ford girls and the Ashland boys lost
to the Medford boys.
Three hundred rooters went down
from Ashland, and almost one thou
sand people, the largest crowd that
has ever attended a basketball game
in southern Oregon, attended the
game. A feature of the evening was
the roofing by the Ashland and Med
ford sections. The Ashland band ac-
companied the special trainload of
Ashlanders. The Medford students
enlivened the between halves with
songs and novel stunts.
Although weakened by the absence
of Captain Grubb, the Ashland girls
played wonderful ball and won out
over the heavier Medfordites by a
score of 10 to 8. The Misses Skeen
and Chappell, Ashland's midget for
wards, played the best game of their
careers and appeared to be much
faster than the home team. The
work of the Ashland guards, Gear
hart, Eske and Lowe, was of the
highest order. Bomar at center
played a speedy game, but became ex-
hausted and was replaced by Hodg-
son, who surprised the fans with her
showing.
The boys game was a distinct dis
appointment to the Ashland rooters
and a surprise to the Medford fans
who anticipated defeat for their
team. The locals seemed unable to
get started and. to put it plainly

have put up this season. Medford

was on. Whether the Ashlanders

Saturdays Game.

The biggest crowd that has ever
seen a basketball game in Ashland
filled the high school gymnasium on
Saturday evening and watched the
second games Of the Ashland-Med-
ford series The games resulted in
an exact reversal of results of the
night before, the Medford girls COM
ing out victorious over the home
girls and the Ashland boys trimming
the Medford boys.
A large delegation of rooters at
tended from Medford and together
with the monster Ashland roofing
section kept up an uproar which
made it possible to hear the referees
whistle at times. Between halves the
Ashland high schoolers, led by Henry
Enders, entertained the crowd with
singing and cheers.
The girls game was the fastest
and most exciting ever sen here, the
score being in favor of one team one
minute and the other the next. The
Medford girls worked together better
than on the preceding evening, but
the goal throwing of Ashland's di-
minutive forwards kept the home
team even. The game ended with
the score tied at s to s and 1t was
necessary to play until a decisive re-
suit had beer reached. According to
the rules the game must continue

The mass meeting of citizens called
Of the power plant was not as large
as il should have been, but the logical
conclusion must be that the sentiment
as expressed was fairly representative
of how the entire citizenship feels
about this important matter. The
Mayor and council have asked for the
advice of the people and the people
have spoken. Whether or not they
will follow this advice is up to them.
We are pleased to think that the meet
ing did fairly represent the sentiment
Of all the citizens, for it means that
our people care more for the City Beau
tifut and for building a Bigger and
Better Brookings than they do about
saving a few dollars. 1t means that
our people have confidence in their
city and are looking beyond the dollar
mark into the future. The Register
believes with the majority that the
power plant should be moved. The
site is too valuable for park purposes
or for a high school to be occupied by
a power plant. Most important of all,
1t does not enter into the scheme of
in carrying out the idea of a
City Beautiful. Located as it is in
close proximity to all of our public
buildings it cannot be else than an
ayesore and it will be more distateful

has confidence in the judgment of

THE WAR

The principal American interest in
the war was the dispatch of Presi-
dent Wilson's note to Germany regard
ing the sinking of the Lusitania. The
presidents note was firm but peace
able, demanding that Germany cease
the activities that endanger American
lives and property.
Italy seems at last to be ready to
enter the war and is expected to de-
clare her intentions this week.
Heavy fighting has occurred in the
western front and the Allies claim sue,

The Russians have been defeated in
the east and their whole Galician cam
paign is reported to have collapsed.

The Register would like to see a
vote taken on the proposition of NOV
ing the city power plant to another
location. We would suggest that the
Commercial Club take the matter up.
By fixing upon a certain day and APP
pointing a committee of three in each
ward to take the poll it could be pulled
off very easily. The newspapers of
the city would be glad to give it the
necessary publicity and the Register
will donate the ballots upon which the
voting can be done. This would do
away with the expense of calling and
holding a special election by the city
authorities.
