EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
.,(»VA STATE STI DINT Continued I "I take the opportunity to extend my conI gratulations to Capt. Walquist by closing his [ fine football career so brilliantly." I This note represents, not only the spirit of ^ ^ the president, but of the entire student body d and the alumni. The spirit pictured there is one which sent the Fighting Illini, tail-enders e | of the conference, into the Buckeye camp to return winner over supposedly the best team in the Big Ten. The Illinois rooter, who sat alone among a throng of Iowa fans, and rose to sing a solo when the band played his Alma Mater, is an example of the same spirit. The slump of spirit from which Iowa State emerged during the past gridiron season is to be commended, but is it not plain that we do not come within several paces of the mark set by Illinois? The Illini have demonstrated that it is not the shouting crowd which really supports the team, it is the crowd which fights for the team as fiercely out of the grandstand as it does within. To stick to the team, win or lose, is to support the school; to shout when the team wins and curse when it loses is to help the school along to ill repute.
