A'IA'lh'I-A'lA'IA'A'lA'IA'AK'A'IA'l.K'AYlKlA'A'A'A'A Clean Sportsmanship In choosing the ideal of clean sportsmanship as a theme for this Annual, the staff had in mind two meanings of the term. The first meaning is the one commonly given the ex- pression,that is, as it is applied to sports or athletics. The second is its broader significance as applied to all life. To illustrate the first point, we may take Polytechnic's 191.6 football team. The boys exemplified the highest type of clean sportsmanship. Every game played was a clean game.Not once during the entire season was the group pen- alized for unsportsmanlike conduct. That is a record to be proud of. Not only in football, but in baseball, basketball, ' --and track as well, has Poly had teams of the highest type ROSWELL BEVERSTOCK in this respect. Whether winning or losing, they have played their hardest and have played the game squarely. The students as a whole, as well as the athletes themselves, are imbued with this idea of clean sportsmanship. The motto of the Associated Student Body Organization, Victory with Honor, shows the attitude of the students toward fair play. Polytech- nic has always been known for producing hard-hitting, square-playing athletes and Editor-in-Chief for having a student body which loves fair play. The ideals which athletes and stu- dents have in school will be their ideals in later life. Educators realize that high school days are one of the important character forming periods of our lives. With this in mind, associations have been formed in the schools of New York and New Jersey with the purpose of emphasizing fair play in sports and of developing ideals which will in- spire throughout life. These associations, which together make up the Sportsmanship Brotherhoods, have able men behind them. Notably Mr. Mathew Woll, the vice- president of the American Federation of Labor, is president of the combined group. The purpose of the brotherhood is to foster and spread the spirit of fair play and the ideals of good sportsmanship throughout the world. The association has as its slogan Not that you win or lose-but how you play the game that countsi Its code is one which we may all well follow. The code of honor of a Sportsman is: 1 To keep the rules 2. To keep faith with his comrades and play the game for his side 3 To keep himself fit 4 To keep his temper 5 To keep from hitting a man when he is down 6 To keep his pride under in victory 7 To keep a stout heart and accept defeat with good grace and to keep a sound soul and a clean mind in a healthy body.
