Still plugging and plodding and groping away,

Through fogs and through shadows that hold one ee bay,
Well knowing how little it mtters if one

Keeps pounding along to the end of the run,

This is exactly what athletics are for in the life of formative youth, . And
apparently, from my experiences with these boys year after year I believe that
the play life through intercollegiate athletios pretty well fills an important
place in the student athlete's life. The friendships, the rivalries and the
good times experienced on these athletic trips will be played over many, many
times when these athletes in mature years sit around their firesides and take
an inventory of the geod life that they lived while in college,

But we do have basketball activity with our high school here in Lawrences

The admission price will be 60¢ for each night for adults, and 60¢ for students.

Last Friday night Lewrence won from Ottawa which makes Lawrence appear a little
stronger in the district tournament, So there will be a double header each night «
Friday and Saturday, Double header basketball games seem to prove a fine drawing
card. We are expecting the Lawrence basketball fans to turn out en masse to Bee
this splendid tournament,
