when they defeated the Medford hiirh
school before the ImgcM crowd that
ever saw n football amc in this sec
tion, by the scoie of lJ to 0, The
score does not begin to tell the dif
ference in ability between the two
teams.
In team work, line plunging, genera)
pluming und fighting spirit the visitors
bowed their class. Their victories
this year have been the fruit of con
scientious training, coing to bed earlv
and no cigarette smoking. Their chief
aim was to couipior .Medford, and to
do it they sacriticed social obliga
tion and habit'. The Ashland attack
had foice behind it, and seldom failed
to make their yardage.
The MedVord team possessed
plenty of (lulling spirit, but could not
concentrate it. They went about to
defeat their rivajs, using the Mime
tactics that Inst them the first game.
In Hie second half Captain Plynmlc
started a kicking game, and outplay
ed the visitors. Then all of n sudden
he returned again to the old style,
praying that Kiids Howard or Pelotae
would get away for a long run on a
forward pass. 4The Ashland team,
however, watched these two players
too closely for sensatiounl results. All
of Ashland scorcH were made in the
first half.
A feature of the game was tin- dis
play of school spirit bv both .sides.
