frequent ly intercepted the opposing centers had an in teresting battle throughout the game muthart was frequently out jumped by leathers but had more goals than his opponent the white combi nation played their usual strong game at forward and in the second half showed their real speed by scoring 14 of the 18 points weatherford delivered in a force ful manner the college man's battle the two key-notes which dr weatherford sounded throughout his entire discussion were purity in mind body and habits and an inde fatigable ambition to do right every man dr weatherford said is always engaged in a great fight for he can never expect to gain anything or attain any position in life without effort a man must fight to pass his examinations and to keep in college besides more strongly to keep his own character from stain in order to hold his own a man must keep fighting con tinually and at the same time re serve sufficient nervous energy to tide him over the hard places this is a strenuous age the ideals by which matter were for merly measured have been so con siderably raised in the last score of years that it keeps a man fighting to hold his position this is not a time of mediocrity wealth is measured in much larger terms than formerly the ideals of education have been raised and the moral and social standing of men have been elevated for these reasons much more is expected of a man and after graduating from college don't pat yourself on the back and sit happily down thinking you are widely educated but keep on study ing and reading and your motto no 28
