TIQUE SDUDTSMANSHID HERE IS nothing that will so surely make or mar the reputation of a school as the conduct of the student body during interschool contests. VVhether the contest be one of debate, of music, or on the gridiron, the use of good etiquette is as essential as when entertaining guests in your home. The nature of the reception given our students while the guests of other schools will depend la1'gely on the brand of hospitality we extend to visiting teams. Loyolty to our school and respect for the loyalty of others for their schools should go hand in hand. The true sport steps into the other fellowls shoes and views the situation from the opposite angle before he voices an opinion. Iie never whines, whimpers, or growls, and he takes temporary defeat without blaming anyone but himself. He realizes that he is half whipped the minute he begins to feel sorry for himself or to spin an alibi with which to explain away his defects. In the emotional excitement of an intense game or close contest, he con- forms to the rules and regulations. He decides under trying circum- stances between f air and foul methods, and h ransforms his decisions into correct actions. He has not only the knowledge of right and wrong, but he possesses the trained power and habit of acting on such knowledge. This is the very foundation of true character. He who would be a true sportsman would do well to adopt as his creed the following ten commandments: Thou shalt not quit. Thou shalt not alibi. Thou shalt not gloat over winning. Thou shalt not be a poor loser. Thou shalt not take unfair advantage. Thou shalt not ask odds thou art unwilling to give. Thou shalt always be willing to give thine opponent the shade. Thou shalt not under-estimate an opponent, nor over-estimate thyself. s Remember the game is the thing, and that he who thinks other- wise is a mucker and not a true sportsman. Honor the game thou playest, for he who playeth the game straight and hard wins even when he loses.

BASKETBALL TEAM HIS season the University Varsity basketball team was un- lucky in most of its games, but winning is only a small part of victory. Coach Allison, handicapped by the lack of veteran material, did not produce a championship team, but he did produce a clean playing, hard fighting bunch of real sports. Other high schoolsrespect University High, mainly through contests with such teams as this, and we should feel justly proud of the fine sportsman- ship displayed by our team. DIQACTICE SEASUN UNIVERSITY vs. coNcoRn1A Opening the 1929 O. A. L. basketball practice season, the Cubs played the Concordia Preachers January 16 on our own court. In the first quarter the Uni rooters led their guests. After a few futile marches up and down the court, Eppstein broke the ice with a free throw. In the final quarter the game was evenly contested, but the Preach- ers, with their lead gained in the beginning of the tilt, held the Cubs to the final 28-18 decision. UNIVERSIT Y VS. FREMONT Probably the most exciting game of the practice season was the Bengal-Cub game, played January 18 on our own floor. The tilt was a nip and tuck affair up to the fourth quarter. VVith the score 17 all, and only two miinutes to go until the end of the game, Townsend sank a long shot from the middle of the court, breaking the tie and win- ning the game for Fremont 22-17. UNIVERSITY VS. ROOSE'VEI..'l' I11 this game, played on January 22, the veteran Roughriders, last yearis U.A.L. champs, were slow in getting started, and the Cubs held them on practically even terms i11 the first period. In the second and third quarters, Keith' Singleton, Roosevelt star, found his eye and rang the hoop for a total of ten points. Dana lNIurdock
