The University of Oregon walloped
o. A. C.. twise last week in the first
two of the four games for the state
championship. The scores were 21 to
20 and IA to 10. Phillips and Dewey

formers for the farmer team. Phil
lips scored ten points in the first
game and threw o. A. C.'s only field
baskets in the second. The two Ash
landers were the only members of

until one side had an advantage Il
two points. Twelve minutes of play
were necessary to decide the result.
Nellie Corum for Medford threw
goal from the foul line, giving the
visitors a one-point advantage, and
followed it up soon afterward with
goal from the field. Final score IL
to s.
The Medford team started the
boys game with an altered lineup,
Thomas replacing Pelouse at forward
and Beacon playing in place of Cow
gill at guard. Ashland lined up as
usual with Grisez and Fraley at for
wards, 2lymate at Center and Lilly
and Delsman at guards. Poor luck
at basket shooting seemed to pursue
the home lads as on the previous
evening, while Williamson seemed
able to shoot even better than before.
Ashland kept ahead after the first
few minutes, although the Medford
boys were right at the heels of the
home guard all the time. The first
half ended with the score 10 to 8
in Ashland's favor. The game ended
with Ashland still on the long end
of II to IA score. The home team
hsowed flashes of their true fern oc-
casionally, but did not play the game
of which they are capable. Thomas
and Williamson showed up best for
the visitors, Plymate and Lilly for
the home team. Grisez received a
jab in the ribs which rendered him
hors de combat for brief period, but
soon recovered his wind and played
the game out. In a desperate effort
to win during the last few minutes
Coach Moore sent in Pelouse for the
visitors, but Coach Klum forestalled
any disastrous effects for the home
lads by sending in Spencer against
him, Spencer successfully keeping
him out of the danger zone.
The series now stands even and
intense interest is evidenced over the
games Friday and Saturday of this
week. On Friday the local teams
will Journey to Medford and make a
gallant effort to cinch the series.
On Saturday the last games will be
played in Ashland. Should the series
end in tie another game will in all
probability be arranged to decide who
shall hold the cup for the coming
year. The local lads want a decisive
result-for the series and some kind
of settlement is assured as the Med
ford boys are precluded from claim
ing the cup on a point basis should
the series end in a tie, as they have
been wallcped by Roseburg, who were
defeated by Ashland. Ashland has
won the cup for two years and VIC
tory this year will mean permanent
possession. Come out Saturday night
and root for victory.
