Hartford City is havig a seige of the same kind of luck that the Yellow Jackets, Huntington, Thorntown and a few others have had this season. Coach Blair Gullion’s quintet has won only one or two games this season, Huntington has won one, and Thorntown hasn't won more than one. Hartford City. Huntington and Thorntown are all familiar figures in regional and state tournaments, too, Thorntown being former state champs. There’s a better time acoming, maybe. William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana University, says a lot in the f<.'loning lines concerning Indiana high school athletics: Athletics at their best help against one of the worst dangers in Ameri.au life the belief that successful life can be easy. Life in the American college is made easy for and by too many men. The chief thing which such men get in college is the habit of idleness and a flock of destructive habits that go with idleness. Such men are on the swift way to failure, perhaps to worse. The athlete at his best learns something dinerent. Not comfortable ease. Not idleness. Not self-indulgence. Not jaunty contempt for all authority. Those never win any game. Instead of these, obedience, self-denial, (ban life, team play and always the inner cry. 1 must, 1 must, 1 MI ST, and I CAN. These at their best win games and make men."
