Ashland High School Wins
9Th Southern Ore. Championship

The Ashland high school basket
ball team won the seventh consecu-
tive southern Oregon championship
which has come to Ashland by defeat
ing Medford high school both Friday
and Saturday nights, making it a
clean sweep Of the four games of the
series. Ever since basketball has
been played in the valley Ashland
mas won the high honors. All four
games were close, the differences in
score ranging from two to seven
points, but with Ashland always on
the long end, The class of ball played
would rank wei with the college
game, and was equal to the best ever
seen in this part of the state. More
interest was taken in the series be-
tween the ancient rivals than ever
before. At a conservative estimate
$500 people must have Deen the ap-
proXimate attendance for the series.
This is larger attendance than
turned out in the entire season for
the games Of Portland's best team,
the Mu'tnomah Club.
No mint of lack of sportsmanship
marred the series. The games we're
rough but clean. The best team won.
but only after a hard battle, and the
losers went down doing their best.
Friday Games.
Ashland cinched the valley cham
pionship by winning the third consec-
utive game Friday night at Medford
by score of 16 to IS. Superior bas-
ket shooting did the business. com.
bined with heavy guarding and
speedy floor work.
Medford scored the first basket
Ashland soon tying when Grisez shot
beautiful basket from the center
of the floor and going ahead when
the Ashland star repeated the per-
formance a minute later. Medford
tied the score almost Immediate.
and from then on to the end of the
game Medford would tie the score
and an Ashlander would put his team
ahead. The locals seemed to be able
to get a basket whenever it was nee
essary and contented themselves with
playing safe most of the game. The
Medford team showed big improve
ment, but, as it always has, lacked
the fight and punch which brings vic
tory. Grisez shot three more of the
phenomenaily long baskets which at
the first of the year won him the
name Of being lucky, but after repe-
tltion IN every game this season has
won him the name of the best basket
shot ever developed in southern Ore
gon. The big surprise of the game
and the series was Climax" Dels-
man, who up to Friday night had

Miss Edna Munsey, star OF "The
Only Girl" musica. comedy which

Herndon, the manager OF the show,
and his wife, were met at the train
Friday evening at Ashland by A. S.
Ames and taken up through Ashland
park and over the highway to Med
ford. The train was late and Miss
Munsey was greatly disappointed in
getting but few minutes in Ashland
park, which she enthusiaastica ly
proclaimed to be "just adorable"
The ride over the highway and
glimpses of orchard work was great
ly enjoyed by the party.

shot but one basket I'm his two years
on the first team. Climax electrified
the crowd and sent the Ashland fans
into paroNyams of joy by shooting
two beautiful baskets from the center
of the floor Harris suffered an off
night and was superseded by Buck
in the last few minutes, Buck play
ing a consistent game ond scoring
once. Fraley worked like a demon,
but his heavier guard held him down
closely and one basket and two fouls
converted was the sum of his con.
tribution. TO Gravy" Plymate must
go the greatest credit for Fridays
win, and in fact for Ashland's vic
tories throughout the series. Ply
mate was IN the right place at the
right minute all the time blocking
plays, commencing his, teammates
injecting fight and starting almost
every play which scored 1t will be
a long time before Ash and high de-
yelops another man Of the quality Of
Gravy"
The game was clean although quite
rough. Referee Cooper had the play
ers well in hand all Of the time.
The Medford students staged a
very effective stunt between halves,
Indiantsongs and costumes adding to
the united efforts of their entire stu
dent body And right here we must
pay a compliment to the Nelford stu
dent cheering section. Whatever hint
of unsportsmanlike conduct occurred
in any game of the series came from
outsiders, the Medford students care
fully refraining from any hint of lack
of sportsmanship. And in fact the
students of both Ashland and Med
ford, while always behind their own
team to the very limit, were true
sports.
As was promised in one of the
Nedford papers, there was a serpen-
tine after the game, but instead of
red and black pennants waving, the
entire Ashland contingent took the
floor and rocked the building with
yells while the Medfordites filed out
silent.
Girls Game.
The, Medford girls again demon.
strated their ability and won the
third game and the series from the
Ashland girls by a score of 9 to Z.
The Ashland girls were game to the
core and played a wonderfully fast
passing game but the heavy Med
ford guards proved too much for
them. Gertrude Moore scored all of
Ashlands seven points.
