WINNEIQS Have a place in your heart for a sportsman, For a man who can lose and then smile. Give a cheer for a team that is losing, Let them know that you think theyire worth while. Feel that victoryis only a detail And may come to a force thatis unfair. Know yourself that the team that is winning 'Is the one that is playing four-square. If the man with the sportsman,s ideals Is the one you consider the best, Then you, too, are a sportsman who's winning, Though your score may be under the rest. In the game of Life scores do not matter. In this contest the f ittest survive- Not the winners who finish by fouling But the ones who lead sportsmanls lives. -BTAURICE FTPPSTEIN
