Fino Contest Goes to Willammette
Valley Team on a Fluke Eugene
Eleven Superior on Punts, Medford
- on Team Work Score, B-0.
(By Grid Iron.)
In the ltot football gamo of the
season Medford was defeated by Kti-
genc. Score, G to 0,
' Eugene's score came in the firt
nnnrior on a fluko after Medfo'd
hail hold tho heavier team for two
'downs, on the forty-yard line. Ku-
geno punted. White made a pi tick v
' attempt to catch the ball at full
speed, but it bounded away from bin;
and squarely into the bnnds of the
fleet left end, Discaux, who bad a
clear field and but ten yards in front
of him to the sonl line. Goal was
kicked.
Dospito this discouraging start
Jlcdford outplayed Eugene in tho
fiit .pmrter. The local lino held
like steel and tfmo and ngnin the Eu
gene backs were caught behind the
lino with the bnll. The second ouat-
ter wnfc the same, Medford hnuns
the bw;t of il in everything but the
exchange of punts. The third qunr
ter was even up, and it was not until
tho finnl period that Eugene became
threatening. In tho last few min
utes they worked their first success
ful forward pass and two end run-.,
but when they approached the Med
ford goal the line stiffened and threw
tho blue and white back forji loss.
Medford played real footbail
throughout and so did Eugene. Twice
no local boys hurled their heavier
opponents back for loss when the ball
was within the shadow of the goa'
The defense of both teams was ex
ceptionally strong and there wns an
entire nbsonce of any rough or ques
tionable playing. It is to be hoped
that the Eugene game will become an
annual one, as no more gentlemanly
lot of players has been seen on the
local field.
For Medford, Isaac was the tower
of strength. He was in rvery ploy
nnd on tho defense distinguished
himsolf. It is doubtful if there is a
belter qunrterback on a high school
team in the state. Ware played his
coiifci&tenlly strong game and wns one
of the mainstays on tho defence. The
ends, Bcveridge nnd McDonald, broke
up everything thnt came their wnv
vnnd spoiled many an attempted for
ward pass by Eugene. To each in
dividual mombor of the line great
credit is due. Thoy fought hard nil
lho time, and when tho supremo de-
innnd came responded nobly.
, Halph Burgess showed great form
lihrougliout, tho gamo and mussed
'things up for Eugene regularly.
4 For Eugene, Wagers, Gray, Viclc
crs and Disoaux were stars. Wagon.
'is surprisingly fleet and Gray is a
great lino plungor.
Summed up, Eugene had it on Med
ford in tho punting nnd on individual
work iu the back fiold. Medford had
Jho best team work and defense. It
Mas a great gamo and credit is due
lo winners nnd losers for Bporthiunn
liko playing.

MEDEORD
SOLVING THE PROBLEM.
EVERY fruit grower s well s every farmer in the
Rogue river valley. should realize the advantage of
irrigation.
It makes no difference how successful tho non
irrigated orchard is, or how prosperous the dry farm has
been, irrigation increases the success of the one and the
prosperitvwf the other.
Irrigation is a form of crop insurance against failure.
Properly applied, it not only
del's tho return certain. It overcomes the seasons defi
ciencies and multiplies the soil's productiveness.
Most of the more successful orchards in tho valley,
those that yield year in and year out, which have good
crops in an off year like the present, are irrigated or
chards. Those that are not would make a more favorable
showing if they were.
There are few soils more fertile, few climates more
advantageous for fruit aud produce production than that
enjoyed in tho Rogue river valley. But to realize these
possibilities irrigation is an essential.
It is perhaps unfortunate that irrigation is not abso
lutely necessary here, that good crops and money making
yields can often be secured without irrigation, and are
thus secured. It makes the soil cultivator slow to admit
the necessity and value of water, lie can aud does make
money without irrigation, but he would make more
with it.
Tho Rogue river valley must depend upon intensive
cultivation. The tiller of the soil must get the most out
of it. lie miisFiiiakc ten acres yield as much as ten times
the quantity of scratched land elsewhere. To do this, he
must have water.
Farmers and fruit growers are slow to grasp the sit
uation. Cooperation seems to be a minus quantity with
them. They do nothing to
who have water flowing past their doors ret use to use it,
not only injuring themselves thereby, but the valley also.
Growcis in each section should unite. "While the
young orchards are coming into bearing some kind of a
crop can be raised to make the place self sustaining. It
is in the choice of such a crop and in the marketing of the
output that cooperation is essential.
In order to market any such subsidiary crop, it is
essential to be able to ship in quantity. Community co
operation supplies this desired quantity, no matter what
the crop is, whether of vegetables, potatoes, beans, straw
berries or other fruit.
For over a year The Mail Tribune has been clamoring
for a public market for the benefit of both producers and
Consumers. As a result, the city council will establish
such an institution. But the farmers themselves have
taken no part in the agitation, and have been powerless
to take effective part, because they did not cooperate and
were not organized. They have to sell their crops in a
catch-as-catch-cau fashion for the same reason.
Farmers and fruit growers, like every one else, must
work out their own salvation. To reap the most from
their soil opportunities, they must irrigate, and to harvest
their products most successfully they must cooperate.
Upon the way they solve these problems depends not only
their own success but the future of the valley.
If there is a magic word to unlock the door of pros
perity to the producer, it is "irrigate," and if there is
another to enable him to reap the result of his industry,
it is "cooperate."
ibid yet how few of our producers pay any attention
to either. And yet until these facts are grasped, the bal
ance of trade will be against us, and it will cost us more
to live than We make.
