The Wisconsin game was lost largely through a bit of "hard luck", and the loss of the game with Indiana Monday night cannot be ascribed nearly as much to the players themselves as to the crowd in attendance. There are certain members of this year's basket- ball five who, although they played an excellent game and showed a great deal of ability during the Southern trip and in the first Conference game, seem to have fallen into disfavor with'the stu- dents and are accordingly subject to considerable "razzing"' when on the floor. The spirit Monday in this regard was certainly deplorable and un- worthy of a Michigan audience. No man, no mat- ter how goud a Mlayer, can keep up his nerve and fight when ie hears from all sides comments det- rimental to him and knows thar the people in the stands are not behind him as they should be. What we like to call "Michigan spirit" does not countenance anything but wholehearted support of the team from start to finish. No crowd that is worthy of the name of Michigan has ary business lying down on its job of support at any time from the blowing of the first whistle to the firing of the last gun, and those who fail to boost when the score is going against their team or take out their disappointment on certain players have no right to be at the game.. BOXING CLASSES Boxing, as a sport, has only recently come into an active place in the list of Michigan athletics and, with the organization of the Boxing club this year, bids fair to remain and grow in importance. It is a sport which not only develops muscle in all parts of the body and has a toughening physical influ- ence, but which also gives agility and self-control. Classes in the sport are now being instructed by Coach Ted Sullivan. For a reasonable fee any man may obtain four lessons, and the course, though al- ready under way, is still open to entrants. The college pranks made so much of by the news- papers in a near-by metropolis have nothing on the frolics of the officials of Detroit when they decide it is necessary to maroon an assistant D. U. R. manager by getting him over on Belle Isle and then lifting the drawbridge. And the Lit shall sit down with the Engineer, saith the good book - the time, tonight ; the occa- sion, Michigan's first Senior Lit-Engineer smoker; the speakers, a president and two deans; the music, melodious; the success and spirit of the occasion, up to you, Mr. '21 and Mr. '21E. All out! Mr. Harding has decided not to have an. elab- orate inaugural blow-out, a decision which inclines one to wonder, then, how much of a convoy he will want when he takes his first fishing trip on the presidential yacht. Communications which express opinions are good- thins, but znonymous letters, such as are occa- sionally received by The Daily, are a pest. Let's stand behind our ideas. DETROIT UNITED LINES.

Educators charge them with insincerity because of their obvious lack of deep, conscimntious study. Many of us will not deny that we are leading purposeless lives, largely because we have found no one great purpose to which we have an overpow- ering desire to devote ourselves. We have come to this university chiefly because it is the thing to do and not so that we may be better prepared to serve manl:ind. While w are here, we strive to find our niche i life. In hunting for it we take a bit of economics, a few courses }in sociology, and some rhetoric, inter- spersed here and'there with a heterogenous group of odds and ends in literature, 1hilosophy, science or the arts. When we have finished our work we have a hazy idea of this and that and the other thing, without being any too sure of any of them. The foregoing of course applies chiefly to those of us who are students of the "Lit" School. The students in the professional schools and col- leges have a more thorough groundwork in the principles of their subjects. They know definite the results to be obtained by following out to its conclusion some definite mode of action. This de- sirable end has not been attained because the stu- dents of one school are inherently more capable than those of another, but rather it is because they have settled upon their aim in life before coming to the University, and are now doing their utmos to attain, it. Instead of juming from course to course they follow the prescribed curriculum with- out deviation Whether or not the student is to blame for not having found himself remains an open question Modern society itself has no hard and fast stand- ards of the approved and the disapproved. Wher one is' young and there is an unlimited choice of possibilities it is hard to decide upon the best. S long as we remain unsettled in our lifework, w are bound to be httrac'ted b the iiperfcial rather than the deep. That most of us can and do put hard, consistent work when we know what we ar after has been proved by the general ittitude of students in the professional schools. Granted that this superficiality does exist, the way to remedy it liessopen to every student. TV only trouble is that we are not awake to the fact our shallowres and lack of purpose; once we know ourselves and take as a remedy a food dose of self- disarist. determinition. arid OnnT-mindMnes. we will not only be better men and women, but w he sure to find our niche in life the sooner. Broader radinr and brrldr ways of tinkinr are the one P.reat need at Michigan. We must replace the ol distaste for all real brainwork by a venuine respect for the mAn who knows what is woing on in the world and has onnions based nn fact We mu et off the shoals of thinking.
