The game's the thing—not the winning at any cost. The real enjoyment comes itself, not in the betting odds or the cash transaction ' after it is over. Too often the "sobber," the "crabber," the man who yells for a new coach when the team passes an unsuccessful season, is the man who has dropped some money on the game. It is far from true sportsmanship. It doesn't show the right spirit even the fair sporting spirit. Real enjoyment comes only from clean sport and no college can have a winner all the time. There are only one or two of the most notorious who even approach it and notorious is the right word for them. the contest in There are cycles in college athletics the same as those that Babson describes in the business world. There are peaks and depressions. M. A. C. peaked in 1913^14, and '15. Our pre diction, based on the promise of this year's All-Fresh team, is that M. A.

Their sole purpose of object was to give an opportunity those engaged in industrial pursuits to obtain some knowledge of the practical sciences related to agriculture and the mechanic arts.

Obviously, not manual but intellectual instructi' n was the paramount object." the boys of In the title of the bill which Mr. Morrill introduced December 18, 1873, he called these institutions "national colleges for the advance ment of general and scientific and industrial education."

My dear Major Wrightson : Altho I am pretty busy nowadays I cannot refrain from telling you a funny little incident which happened last week. I am sure it will amuse you and only go to show that the army training which I begged so hard for you to give the M. A. C. girls back in 'iy and '20 was not all in vain. In fact it was of a far reach ing character—as you shall see. For some time past, those associated with that there was me and myself have realized only one firm in Chicago, or for that matter represent us as the Middlewest, who could salesmen. They are one of firms the oldest on State Street and since they take on only very reliable and high class merchandise they the respected are known United States. They deal large way for there fore highly advantageous that they act as our selling representatives. throughout in a very it was that very reason and and Now the one man in this firm who would, have to pass our "line"' is a jolly, old, hard- headed business man and if he takes a fancy to your goods he'll carry them—if he doesn't he won't. So, it being my business to place our art objects with him, I tackled the propo sition. Now if a young woman will gather up all her nerve and leave the rouge off her into face, I dare say she would be admitted the biggest business office in the world (they set you down for some sort of a freak)- so I was let in for an interview without difficulty. After an hour and a half of fast talk, I had to call all my reserve presence of mind to keep steady on my chair—he was willing to accept our whole line on our own commission terms and also offered to allow one of his sales agents to place the line with an old and established firm in New York in case we.had not connected with any New York house. too good since we had not even That was dared hope to make any connections in New York this season. A little skeptical, I went a few days later to one of his friends and in friendly conver sation found that this jolly, old gentleman had only become interested in the proposition be cause I wore my gold medal which you so generously presented me with on the occasion of our this final shooting match. He friend that as I threw back my coat he noticed the target fastened in the collar of my blouse and that he decided then and there that any girl who could control her nerve enough to shoot straight enough to win a gold medal wouldn't be presenting a foolish proposition. the So he heard me clear through and by told that he time I was done he was convinced It seems that sharp could handle our "line". shooting is his particular hobby and that he has a dozen medals or so and that his own daughter or his own sons never showed any interest in the sport.

I know some' clever the class was started that he didn't see why the Major had to shoot—he always supposed that the rolling pin was quite for most women—but you see that sufficient that I never did anything that I frankly liked to do more than I did shooting and you may be doubly sure that I prize that medal even more highly from now on.
