THE FOOTBALL
WE ni-o ul ways sorry tt Imvo tilt' football season end. It is
ii irmit time of the your.' Kivry week-eiitl lias n thrill
fur the fouthall f hji, anil mast, of us nowittlii.ys are foot hall
funs. Moreover, under iiinilein 'oiiililions, sciircely ;i Saturday
piisses without nt leiiut.june bits tjiiiiie. If it isn't a local affair,
it may he in the Ktitte, nnd if n It in the state, there are caiiies
in the Kast, the Middle West, llie-Soiilli, it'nd eoiinlless way
stations to elioose from. All nf Wvhieli atld iitaterinlly to the
interest and trayety of life.
However, all pood things Juive
Imll season is over for the sensoM.
cept for a few srames tomorrow, ait' of eourse the New Year's
and West l'oiiit-Stanl'ord contests. These may he successful as
spectacles, but us sportinn events, somehow post-season traiues
lack the real thrill of the curlier contests. There is mi element
of the anti-climax about them,
terest and rivalry that really
cessful.
So the season of cheers, rut-barks and roiupleled forward
pusses is really over now, reiifU'dlesK of how we try to pretend
it isn't. And the trlorious season of Kali is over, too, althoutil:
the leather Man may succeed in his efforts to spare us a typi
cal winter.
It's too bad. lint Hint is Life. We iniisl lake the bitter
with the sweet and become rcciinuilcd to the fact that uothiii";
can stop the nevcr-endiiij,' cycle of . I he .seasons.
MEDFORD WILL
THAT 'l'liiiiiksriviiif Day triinie with Ashland was a bard one
to lose. The breaks were bad,- nr. d, lo us at least, some of
the decisions were worse. Itut after t II breaks and decisions,
are all in the ";aiiie, aibl this is 110 tinfe to, thresh, over "what
might liavc been." All in all, Ashland had the better team,
and is clearly entitled to the chainpioiisbi p. The only .sensible
thill!,' to do now is to extern! connratnlalioiiM and forget about it.
ynless we are greatly mistaken, there, wilt 'be a different
tale to tell next year. As predicted in this column, the Med
ford team was a far stronger Aggregation yesterday than in the
first contest! A team that could improve like that in a few weeks,
and fight as it fought under discouraging circumstances, liiis
every reason to be proud of its achievement.
Kor after all it is that sort of spirit that, builds up a foot
ball team. As far as viclori-js arc concerned, the season just
closed has been ii disappointing one. Hut as far as building a
foundation for the future is concerned, we believe 1920 will
shovaj that 1!)20 was a success.
FOLLOW HOOVER'S LEAD
Tlll'a example set by 1'resideiit Hoover of eo-ordinatin;; the
biff industries, railroatls, builtlers and other enterprises
into a pro); ni in of expansion to offset any evil effects of the
stock market debacle, is an excellent one for all communities
to follow. The flow of local money to Wall Street lias been
checked and the money should be 'used for local development
ami expansion.
Kor the past two, years there has been little activity iu Salem
hi comparison with the five previous years. ' Capital has flowed
into speculation that should haviv been ulil.i.etl for comiiiuuitv
upliiiiltlin;.'. Some of our industries that mean payroll ami
population need some of (lie surplus money that has been ;oiu
abroad. Anil new industries are cipially essential to community
e-rowlh.
Salem's expansion depends very largely upon the vision and
enterprise of Salem's citizens. Experience has proven that we
cannot look for much outside assistance. It is therefore in
cumbent upon the community to follow the lend of Mr. Hoover
and net busy. Salem Capital-Journal.
