The next game on the schedule, how
ever, is the Aggie game which will be
played in Topeka tomorrow afternoon.
This will be the hardest fought game
on the local schedule this season if the
dope on the game works out The
Washburn team has had a good rest
and most of the men will be in good
condition. There are two valuable men
on the sick list, however. Whitney
and McVey were neither out to prac-
tice last night and probably won't be
in the practice tonight. Whitney is
suffering from too much training and
is showing symptoms of a nervous
breakdown. McVey is sick with stom-
ach trouble. Both men will start the
game, however. Captain Robb has
never fully recovered from the injuries
which he received in the Haskell game
and may not be able to play the full
game, but will start. The remainder
of the men are in good condition.

in the eye and to acknowledge it frankly with finn

If we have wronged, should right; if have

Peculiar Attitude Toward Mistakes

MANS attitude toward his mistakes is various and
A'A peculiar: some do not them; will not
deplore them, but keep on; make the
mistakes and over again in principle, not in
FORM some blame others for their mistakes;
excuse their mistakes by saying that others do
the things though disease is less dangerous
when it becomes epidemic
Failure does not necessarily imply mistake. If
we have held our standard high fought good fight
for the right held part against heavy odds, and
have finally the citadel of Our hopes taken by
superior force, by overwhelming conditions, or
sapped and undermined by jealousy, envy, or
The world condemns us for our non success. What
does the. silly, babbling, unthinking world know
about it? What does it matter what the world
thinks, if we have done our best? Sometimes men
fail merely because they have the courage to forego
triumph at the cost of character, honor, truth and
justice Let never accept mistakes as final; let
organize victory of the broken ranks of failure
and despite all odds fight on, serenely confident of
the final triumph of right.
