Mail Tribune 100, Feb. 14, 1916 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Feb. 14, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted Feb. 14, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News Feb. 14, 1916 FRANKLIN HIGH TO PLAY MEDFORD ON WEDNESDAY The Franklin high school will play Medford on Wednesday, the 16th, and Friday, the 18th, at the Natatorium, the local school receiving a telegram of acceptance last Saturday evening. The Franklin team is the baby of the Portland Interscholastic league, playing its first games this season. Ordinarily they should be a weak team, but such is not the case, as they have been drilled by Coach Dewey, who has achieved a record in the northwest, both as a coach and an athlete. Dewey came to Oregon Agricultural college several yeas ago from Purdue. At that time Shrimp Reynolds, the 118 pound O. A. C. quarterback, was the sensation of the northwest. He had been playing in that position for three years when Dewey arrived and was the idol of the college. Dewey, in the first practice, attracted attention and supplanted Reynolds as the quarterback, becoming one of the best quarters in the west. He won his O at basketball and was named on the all start Northwestern basket ball team. He was offered the position of coach at Franklin and although his team in foot ball was very light, played excellent ball against the Lincoln and Washington teams. They beat Portland academy at basketball Saturday by the overwhelming score of 44 to 21. Medford has had a shakeup since the Roseburg games and the center position is open. Brandon may be the regular man. In the past the male spectators have been allowed to smoke, which has annoyed the lady fans. This will not be tolerated any more this season and those who break this rule will be given their admission money and told to leave. In the interest of clean sports and with the endeavor to clean up athletics, the management will keep a close watch for betting. It has been reported that many are doing it openly at the games. When caught they will be told to leave the hall and the bets confiscated by the police and charges preferred against them. The reserved seats are on sale at the usual place, the prices being the same.
