The spirit displayed on the part of the students has 'been good to see.
Their attendance at the games was encouraging; their confidence in the
team inspiring, and their cheering, when cheering was needed, all that
could be deeired. Under the guidance of two cheer leaders, Mr. Haffler
and Mr. Taylor, such as Kentucky has not seen for many a day, the rooting
machine rattled out its noisy product with the pep of a Winter Garden
show and the Irresistable "appeal" of a German
These and many other things are each as .to cause every "State"
man to thrill with pride in his Alma Mater.
'We believe that one factor, as much as any other, to which these good
results are due, was the difficult schedule. Graduate Manager Turner arranged a aeries of hard games. Doctor Tlgert and his raging Wildcats
worked harder so as to win a majority 'of their starts. They delivered
the goods, and as a result we see student enthusiasm, alumni enthusiasm
and town enthusiasm with all Its attendant good features. Let us have
more hard games. We would rather be defeated In a hardwell-- f ought contest than to win In an easy, uninteresting game.

These unfortunates will now be compelled to ply their trade in stricter
secrecy. Obscure and hidden vice Is never so graVe a danger as vice
which is openly tolerated or winked at by the law and the public. Evil
that constantly presents Its frightful mien to our very eyes is much more
a peril than that which hides its visage in the shadows. "Familiarity
breeds contempt."
Difficulty in plying their trade will necessarily drive scores of these
unfortunates of the underworld out of the city and into places where commercialized vice is tolerated.
There is one great benefit acquired by the passage of the anti-viclaw which permits no dispute. In this city are no less than three colleges, one University, a High School, and several business and music colleges. The removal of so great a temptation from the thousands of young
men, who each year come to Lexington in search of education, Is an
achievement of Immeasurable value.

We do believe that few State men are frequenters of the
"prohibited territory."
The University man who enters this district is
