Tongh game ot tag in your Jife. Wo watched a little of boys tennis tournament Tues day. Now those kids may not . hit a tennis hall as hard as Mil Tildea, but they take the game Just as seriously. After all the nice things we aid about Lair Gregory, the Ore- gonlan's sports expert, the other day, there's one point on which we think he's open . to criticism. Ores; sees only the high spots; professional baseball, Coast con ference football, and all that.' In oar opinion, the important side of sports Isnt the top rank, but the bottom; the kids who are just learning to play base. baO, football, tennis or what not, on vacant lots aad school playgroands..Tbe--blg fellows are important to us, only as a necessary part of the system; as an inspriaUon for the kids. Be lieve ft or not. - That's why we weep no tears at the reported decadence of the na tional game. It. it can be re vived, so mneh the better; but if it Is falling off because the youngsters are playing tennis and golf Just "bo they are playing something it's all right with us. . .. V Baseball is a great game, but it takes a lot of organisa tion, and the number ot partici pants dwindles rapidly when. ; boys pass the grammar school j age. Tennis and golf can be ' ' played an long as one has en able legs and fair heart action. But football we don't class If with baseball In this discussion, of benefits, because there's no sub stitute for football. It builds qualities that aren't developed by any other game. Personal con tact Is the keynote. Even boxing and wrestling don't hold a candle to It. Why not? Because i in boxing and wrestling, the person al contact is the purpose; la foot ball It's Incidental. Football Is a game In which yom try to get somewhere, tak ing bumps and brnlsea as they come and paying as little at tention to them as possible. It's very much like the game of life. So although football does re anire organization and It's .over jWhea school days are ended, we would shed bitter tears ot anguish it it should ever follow, baseball into decline.
