All sports, especially those which involve bodily contact, teach a most important lesson of life. They dejnand courage and teach the participant self-control. A contestant in a sport must have a desire to work and live by the rules of the game. Sports should be a part of everyone ' s curriculum, not necessarily at the varsity level, but at a level suitable to his needs. The sport in which a person chooses to compete should be one that poses to him a challenge from which he will refuse to retreat. If this condition is respected, a valuable lesson of life will be learned.

EAGLES FLY BY CARDS 33 TO 6 Pasadena ' s Eagles, fresh from their first victory of the season, coasted into Jeppsen Stadium for their game with the Bellaire Cards of Houston. During the first half, the Cardinals clipped the wings of their favored adversaries. As the Eagles left the field at the half, the score was to 0. At the start of the second half, the Eagles looked like a football team. Taking the ball on the kick off, they immediately drove for a touchdown, with David Lemons going the last 31 yards. Ralph Davis recovered a fumble and the Eagles began their sec- ond drive for pay dirt. David Odem dived over from the 3-yard line for the score. For the third touch- down, the Eagles had to move the ball from only 23 yards out. The payoff was made when Danny Bar- field scored on a quarterback sneak from 2 yards out. In the last four minutes, the Eagles scored two times, once on a 58-yard pass from Barfield to Charles Ken- drick, and on a recovered fumble in the end zone by Jeral Rains. The game ended with a Bellaire touchdown, making the score 33 to 6 in favor of the Eagles. David Odem grabs a pass as Bellaire players close in.
