Base Ball is in favor: the team is showing
'up reasonably well and the schedule of games
promises some good contests here al homo and
a -chance to prove our metal abroad. Tims
far the games played have been more in the
"way of practice than aught else. Those of the
future will boreal contests on merit. The
"working mass of the students is behind the
team; it has a loyal support and is worthy of of a peculiar penchant.
As a general rule it is team-work that wins
debates. With three '-'meets'' in the way -of
debating coming on, it is well that this fact be
borne in mind. Men working from different
points of view are at cross-purposes and their
arguments serve but to neutrali'eone another.
The best argument is that which is "knit thor
oughly together with the parts forming one
symmetrically arranged and logical whole, all
the parts being interdependent. It is a single
fabric with nobroakin'thewarp and no flaw in
the woof. It has no seams, no miss-matched
colors, no loose drawn threads. To produce
such an argument the individuals of each
team must consult, agree on a basis of opera
tions, arrange the various portions of the field
to be covered, avoid repetition and secure
harmony of reference, thought and procedure.
Hot headed wrangling and narrow egotism
will not do. The spirit of concession and
compromise must rule where good counsel
fails. After all it is not a personal -matter.,
the great thing is to win for the university.
And to win, team-work must be done. It is
an essential: we may fail without it. Last
year we failed with it, but it is much more
satisfactory to accept defeat knowing that mo
private pique has boon responsible for the de
feat than to be charged with having sacrificed
the. quality of the debate to the gratification
fit.
