The laurela too often, it seems, are reserved for outstanding athletic achievements, particularly basketball, la this etate. It la all the mors gratifying, therefore, to note an example of unusual merit ng scholastic and artistic lines. JAN. 1st. ISSUE. m u.ium; mokk than a itiam. Coach Ivey of the Bedford high school basketball team Is doing far more valuable work than simply producing a combination of plalyers superior to the representatives of other Hoo ier school . His team has been highly successful tfcl season and un-, til last week had not been defeated. Naturally, the fans of th Rtooa city-have had visions of a alate championship, a dream of several yeats which has heretofore fallen just short of realization. During the game In which Bedford bowed to Franklin three of the former's best player did not participate. All were reported a having broken training regulations earlier in the week. The coach would not abandon his disciplinary program even though It meant the loss of the contest. »U course will be respected throughout the state and should meet with th plaudit of th Bodford student themselves. It should also teach the three offenders a timely lesson they will not soon forget. Th success of the team may have upset the Judgment of the player and caused them to forget that strict discipline Is mors important than the winning of game or their presence on tbe team. The star player occasionally makes th mistake of believing that his services are Indispensable. lit suffer a real injury when coach and fans aid in producing that opinion by failure to pensllte any violation of the rule of training or sportsmanship. The Bedford trio should profit by the lessoei and realize that’ loyalty to their school, coach and team Is vastly more important than their own whims, and that their services, however valuable they may be la helping to win games, count for Mill when weighed In th bslsnce against the rosily worthwhile factors tn high school athletic . Bedford Is by no mean the only high school which has been confronted by this problem. Unfortunately. coaches and school official have not always had the character to subordinate the winning of game to the maintenance of character and sportsmanship. It is no secret that player have been permitted to play when their scholastic work was woefully unsatisfactory. They have become high school heroes and concluded that the world was theirs. VJn-fltted for serious study, they have experience's 4 awakening In college, where they remain only a few weeks or month . With no educational background, they become economic drones- Pane IU
