For the grit and determination with
which Carolina's team- fought from
start to finish of the V. P. I. game,
we owe them our entire loyalty and
gratitude. The man who gets grouchy
and sour when we are defeated doas
not have the spirit of sportsmanship.
The same can be said of the man who
decides to treat the whole matter with
coldness and indifference. Is it not
the first requsite of true sportsmanship
to know how to take a defeat ; in . the
right spirit? ,
What is, after all, the real aim and
object of our. athletics? As usually
stated, . it is to provide proper exercise
for physical development, to encourage
"manly" sport, and to develop certain
desirable qualities of mind and charac
ter. , A victorious score is hardly ever
mentioned as being among the chief
ends of college athletics or as being
necessary to the attainment of those
ends. But whether we generally admit
it or not, we have made it one of the
chief objects, if not the very first.
When we lose the games that we at
tach the most importance to, we .say
that the season is unsuccessful. We
require, winning scores to keep our
college spirit up to the point of loyalty
to our representatives on the teams;
'and when the game goes against us,
we too often fail to realize that the
defeat is far more keenly felt by them
than by anyone else.
The only loyalty that counts for
much is loyalty. to the, man that loses.
The winner can get along without
much encouragement. If we are to
get the finest lesson that intercollegi
ate contests afford, . we will learn to
stand together as a body in support of
the teams we send out, whatever their
success, may , be. We have an unus
ually hard schedule this year. The
team has, worked hard,, Iras had some
very fatiguing trips to make, and has
lost, a majority of its games. All" the
more reason, why we -should give all
the encouragement that a loyal student
body,is capable of giving to its ,tearn.
For us to get discouraged in the face
of defeat is -not only deadening to; the
team, but it may result in a rather in
convenient habit of falling, down, be
fore, any difficulty or failure that vve
meet with. ., If we can trust the evi
dence of those who have lived long
beyond their college days,1 there are
failures, and disappointments to be en
countered even after.une leaves college.
And the Vnbit of giving up, it is said,
is not a Aa'uable assistance in sur-
.(l Tub ' rinht after the University's -game
with Kentucky, the Mue . Grass boys
formed a joyous procession and paraded
the street-, of Lexington in celebration of
their victory. On Monday following, the
staid and peaet;-loving City Fathers came
together and passed an ordinance prohib
iting thenceforth all college yells on the
Streets of Lexington. . Quife a protest is
being raised, by the students of Kentucky
University, judging by their publication,
against this infringement of their privileges.
'; In an old catalog of the University
1848-'49 one finds this statement:
? "Every stdent is required on his ; arri
val at the commencement of each Session,
to deliver to the Bursar (Professor Mitch
ell) the moneys and drafts for money
which he' has brought with him. ,IFis
the duty of the Bursar to attend to the
lett lenient of the demands for board etc.,
to 'pay into the hands of the Student
$uch sums as are required for other neces
sary expenses, and to render a statement
of the same to the Parent or Guardian at
the close of the Session. ' '
This seems to indicate a rather close
Oversight of the students of those days,
but by far the greater part of our sympa
thy is with the Bursar.
As to the parents, no doubt there are
some who would favor that system now.
; Lehigh's President on Sports.
! , , From College World.
i President Drinker, of Lehigh Universi
ty, addressed his students the other day
n.the subject of intercollegiate contests.
He is an ardent supporter of manly exer
se and games, but he is judicious j&nd
(jautious in a way which makes, for the
best eventual good. He said in part:
I 4 ' It is my earnest wish that the athletic
side of our university life shall beencour
dged and actively supported. You .will
find, as you learn to know them, that our
alumni who look here for men to enter
employment after graduation wantnot
only, . men. : who have been scholars, but,
linen with self-reliance, self-control and
physique, able physically to stand the
strain of modern business life, and able
mentally to exercise those qualities of
poise, patience and good judgment which
come largely from good training and the
acquired knowledge of how to use to the
best advantage all a man's faculties. There
is no question ' but that from this eco
nomic and business standpoint every man
physically fit to do so, should, through
his four years of college life, actively take
part heartily and steadily in some college
athletic activity. Nothing will help a man
more on his study side- nothing that he
can do will give him pleasanter memories
in the future of his college career than
to look back to his athletic experiences.
If you cannot make one of the 'varsity
teams, don't think your duty to yourself
and your alma mater is all done by sit
ting on the bleachers and cheering, though
that is a highly important college func
tion to give' our teams the con&tant and
steady support of the college."

A Good Position
Can be had by ambitious young men
and ladies ih the field of "Wireless"
or Railway Telegraphy. Siuce the
eight-hour law became effective, and
since the "Wireless" companies are
establishing stations thtoughout the
counrry, there is a great shortage of
telegraphers. Positions pay beginners
from $70 to $90 per month, with good
chance of advancement. The National
Telegraph Institute operates six offi
cial institutes in America; under su
pervision of railroad and wireless offi
cials and places all graduates in posi
tions. It will pay you to write them
for full details at Memphis, Tenn., or
