Fighting Spirit
Alone Can Win

There is a sign out on the gate
of the high school athletic field be-
yond which only the chosen pene-
trate, the chosen in this case being
the husky lads attired in football
togs. Secret practice" is the order
of the day, not because of the fear
of spies from the enemy's camp, but
because absolute concentration upon
the problem of building up a foot
ball machine is imperative if Ash
land is to beat wexford and that con-
centration cannot be gained with a
crowd of well-meaning spectators de-
tracing the attention of the players
from their study of the intricacies
of football
On one or two nights out of the
week, however spectators are allow
ed and the students improve upon
this opportunity by staging roofing
practice for the rank and file of the
student body is determined to do its
part by out-rooting Medford while
the team is attempting to outplay
the red and black.
1t is all about the big game which
is now just ten days away On Sat
urday, November is, Medford and
Ashland will clash on the local grid
iron in their annual struggle, the
struggle before which all other
games become a secondary consid-
Grafton and toward which the taper
ing off process of both teams is di-
rected.
Ask any high school student "Who
won last year" and you will prob
ably not be favored with a direct
answer but more likely a grimly
determined, "Wait till we get at
EN-"
But all the determination in the
world will not remove the implac
able fact that the Ashland team is
sadly shot to pieces at present with
small hopes of reaching the apex
Of their possible strength by Novem-
Der is, and that Nedford has the
heaviest, most well-balanced team of
years, with plunging halfbacks who
are demons and a forward passing
machine which has never been forced
to open up in any game this year.
Ashland has chance to win, and
not a small chance at that, but from
strictest comparisons of the two
teams, there is about a two-toueh
down superiority which Ashland will
have to overcome by pure grit and
the fighting spirit which has won for
Ashland year after year in the past.
Figure the scores. At Grants Pass
Medford won 19 to 0, Ashland 6 to
o. At Klamath Falls by the mere
difference of two feet in kicking
goal the locals edged out 10 6
victory. Medford, when their team
was an untried bunch of green men,
held the Klamath Falls bunch to a
tie and scored 13 points. At Ash
land the locals won from klamath
13 to T. Medford defeated klamath
27 to 0 at Medford, and those who
saw the game remarked the fact that |
Medford scored apparently at will
and played a defensive game. The
Grants Pass game at Medford can
not be considered as there is nothing
with which to compare it, Ashland
having no return game prior to the
Medford game.
The one fact which stands out pre-
eminently is that Medford is getting
better in each game by leaps and
bounds while Ashland is gaining less
slowly
If Captain Leslie Cunningham is
able to get into the Medford game,
the Ashland defensive will be i'm
