ti I Medford! Washington Eugene or Baker for Tourney Title - -'Experts' Say J -t mm i' i ' Propaganda dept: They've broken the ice, you might iay, now that Leslie and Parrish junior high hoop-suiters are to be allowed the tasting of outside-Salem athletic competition in the annual Goldenball basket tourney in Portland, so we join many others in wondering why said ice isn't broken up into little pieces. Meaning that the time is ripe to enter the village junior athletes in a regular round-robin home- andhome league with any inter V e JERRY KRAFVE oraAa (m haftlmff off their own therein provided for future senior high teams need not be explained . here. The object of any athletic program designed nowadays for 'teen agers is health and fitness, both mentally and physically. Yet the phys-ed teachersAave quite a time selling the kids on the idea of phys ical education via intra-school activities, commonly and drudgingly called "gym" by the kids themselves. Sure, the Leslie and Parrish athletes today drool enthusiasm over their "civil war" meetings, but youH find hardly a one who doesn't at one time or another "wish we wuz in: that county league we could beat those guys." The conven tional yearning to spread out is there. Glamorized and inviting physi cal education goes with any venture of a varsity team into competi iton with outsiders. It even has its effect on those who fail to make the varsity teams and are left to their "gym" classes. Athletic Groicth Starts in Lesser Grades Wo've said it manv times here winning senior high teams is sown are still waddling through the mid-grades. . Superintendent Frank Bennett's back-to-action move in local jun ior high athletics a year ago when Leslie-Parrish competition was re vived was a double-barreled shot in the arm for senior high varsity sports. And from where we sit, the superintendent could volley a shot in the other arm by now opening the gates to regularly-scheduled out side competition for the Pioneers and Missionaries. Practicability of such a maneuver has been proven by other such schools in the state which annually list junior high varsity athletics on a par with those of the senior highs. The two topmost reasons for Superintendent Bennett's barrier lifting move are logical enough, lal right. (1) To acquaint the local juniors Wlui ouisiae cuwpeuuim v u icijr ia mc spue ui xuc, jr"" know; and (2) to unite closer athletic relationship between Leslie and Parrish kids, more or less common rivals just as soon as they enter the junior grades. Same kids will one day join the senior high teams, and when they do it's better that they gang up as pals rather than car-ried-ovegCivil war" rivals. Private ciicques are not good in varsity athletics. Witness what the SHS secret societies have done in the past for proof.
