Der of the American Magazine Eighth fer Old Centre" by "Bo'' McMilln, fully illustrates the fact that spirit is everything. The secret of the victory of Centre, a college in the Blue Grass region in Kentucky over that of Harvard lies in tha; spirit. MT. McMillin says:
 ''This spirit, of which the Chief talks, is the big Keynote. It's 8 spirit that makes every man on the field outdo anything he ever realized he had in him. For example, I can't punt ball over 30 yards in practice to save my life. And yet in more than one game I have lined out 50 yard punts. I've seen some of the boys tear down the field to make a tackle at a faster pace than they could ever set on a cinder track, and I have watched them, in play afts! play, spill linemen who outweighod them by many pounds.
 You'd notice the same spirit On the sdelines. When we're in the thick of the fight the substitutes are wearing the benches out in thelr excitement, and begging Uncle Charlie Moran in looks, if not in words-to send them into the fracas Every man loves the game And reckon that most records are smashed, in work or play, because someone loved what he was doing.
 q have heard speakers say that playing football fits you for success in business life afterwards I don't agree with that. It all depends ~oI the kind of football you play. The man who gives his best to the game, and doesn't try for the limelight, and ing a lesson that will be a help to him anywhere in the world. But a dirty football player, it strikes me, is going to be a dirty player in any game of life he tackles. AS in every thing else, you get out of football just what you put into it. I've found out that the things I have learned on the football field have helped me to solve dozen tough things I have come up against.
 The spirit seems to be, not to think of the glory which will come to oneself. but to our fellowmen and our school. You may not know it but if you put your whole heart an6 soul into working for your school team and fellowmen, you can dc many times more than if you are ou for yourself. This great spirit migh be divided into four essential things
 First comes love of teammates Love them with your whole heart, a. your fellowmen, rot only because yor are obliged to. but because you jus do love them. Why, when you have learned to love and respect every one on the team. you can't help want ing to fight and win for them.
 Second is love of coach. The Cen tre team not only love but adore their coach They work for him, and the harder they work the more they learn and the more they want tc show him how they feel like winning and working for him.
 Love of games comes third. Any one who has ever played in a game such as football or basektball must know that he has to love the game before he can truly give himself ant his support to it. Oh, love it and yol can't help but put all your heart int doing your best
 Last, but not least, is love 0. school Do you suppose Centre could have won if it hadn't been for tha' indomitable spirit of loving it's work school, and everyone in it? I thinl probably what makes school big great and strong, is the love and co operation each one gives it. Its stu dents always refer to it With the warmest feelings and would do any thing for it.
 Juneau High School needs moro of this kind of spirit. Too man. come and go with the aim of galnin5 knowledge. just to help themselve in the world. They surely don know how much they miss when the. can't even stop to love their ONT schoolmates. teachers, school ani team, and work for them, too. An. one who gives out love and help gen erously will receive that much t
