?HILE we all wept tears over the vic
tory of Doanc, we want to say right
-j here, that it may have been a blessing
in disguise. It is always true that elation
and victory beget carelessness. We won
over Grinnell and afterwards there was not
the exercise and drill that had characterized
our team before. Boys, get down and work.
You're the best team we ever had. The
Hkspkrian congratulates you on your skill
but don't let up in your practice. If you
intend to carry off the pennant, be on the
ground every night, do the best you can
and we are sure you will be numbered at
the head.
As the preliminary debates are almost at

every student in the university, individually
and collectively, to attend the debates don't
go to one of them, or to two of them, but
go to all. Don't go alone but bring your
girl along: if you have no girl of your own,
bring somebody else's. The audiences must
prove the inspiration of the debaters: in the
interests of fairness as well as for the purpose
of helping each debater do the best he is
capable of doing. It is sincerely to be hoped
that each debate will be attended by large,
fair and enthusiastic audiences. Don't let
yourself stay away because the debates con
tinue for four successive nights and you have
lessons to get. Do what you can during the
daytime for your studies, then turn out for
these four nights and "enthuse" for the lin
gual gymnasts. Demonstrate your patriot
ism: the profs will forgive you, even though
they frown. The sternest professor of them
all does not admire a student who is a clam .
It is not the policy of the Hesperian to
say one word against athletics, because we
