"PXGE TEN NrEDFOttD MATL TRIBUNE. WXWOTCD. OftTCClOT, RATTTT?T)AT, .TANTAKY 20. 1012. Medford Football Team Which Wrested Championship Honors From All of Southern Oregon This Season When tho high ecIiooI opened In the fnll of 1911 tlio footlmll prospect preMonted n very gloomy appearance. Only four of tho regulars of the year before lind returned nnd altogether only six men roulil bo found who hnd over been In a game. Nevertheless, I with a determination to work, tho hoys elected Froat, of tho mnnunl training department, as coach, and boenn n rigid system of training which was not Interrupted till the end of tho season. Thnt their efforts wero not In vnln was very evident when. In the first gnnic, they won from Grants Pass with a scoro of 39 to 0. The third gamo also wan with Grants I'nss and though tho northern team was In much better condition, tho score was 2G to 0 In Med ford's favor. In tho series wth Ashland each team took ono gamo with a ncoro of 5 to 0. Mcdford's claim to tho championship of southern Oregon becomes Indisputable, however, when It is considered that Med ford made n much greater total scoro against Grants Pass than did Ashland, and In view of tho fact that Medford mado double the yardage of Ashland In tho two games with each other. Tho drawing card of tho season was tho game with Eugene, a gamo which marks tho Introduction of Medford high school to tho larger schools of tho Willamette valley. Though Eu geno took tho gamo with a scoro of C to 0, it was lost by such a fluko as might have occurred with either team. As Eugene played Port land to a standstill in a 3 to 0 game and defeated Salem and other heavy teams of tho north, Medford's rating In this game Is worthy of more than passing consideration. On Thanksgiving day tho boys took a day off and enjoyed a good natured rough and tumble contest with the old stars of tho valley, defeating them with a score of 8 to 6. Tho success of tho season has been duo not only to tho faithful, deter mined practicing of both regulars and second team men, but especially to the efficient work of Coach Frost. His Ideas wero up to date, the boys liked him and worked for him, and more than all ho "possessed that Quality of a truo coach whereby he was enabled to take all kinds of In-! structloa from tho usual corps of voluntary advisors In the same man ner that a duck receives rain and for tho most part In the same framo of mind IBBBBiBBmbTE f .BBk ttflK vJbIIbV!BH Wv'BBBBr BH vyacjE..

The holidays are over, the Christmas shopping is done, the presents have been given and received and at the dawn of a new year every one is hap py. Probably your teeth bothered you during the holidays but you neg lected having them attended to at that time on account of having too good a time, or perhaps you were too busy waiting on holiday trade. Now may be they have ceased to give you trouble and you think well, you will let them go until they bother you. Don't do it, again I say heed the sign in Km time. If you have felt that your tooth were going to bother you that is the sign to visit a dentist before it is too lato. Whon you visit a dontist you want tho best as your teeth are of vital importance to you and if you lose thom you lose your best friends.
