SPORTSMANSHIP Each thing we have heard, seen, or done, is somehow allied with something else. Probably the closest connection with sports and athlet- ics is sportsmanship, the state of mind in which a game is played. Everyone has his own opinion on what qualities make a sportsman. In each sport certain qualities make the champion. What is an all-round good sportsman? He may be a Jack-of-all-trades and master of none in respect to his athletic ventures, and yet have certain qualities which make him an ideal in the sports world. Kipling expresses the ideals of sportsmen in his poem If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If j-ou can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two imposters ’just the same; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when th-c=re is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them ' Hold onJ ' Sports in themselves are really the best lesson. Participation in sports will convince you of this truth more readily than anything Rudyard Kipling or I could say. Sports are physical sermons in stones . Our lives are modelled by the character with which we build our cas- tles, or dr am our dreams. A person who has earned the reputation of a true sportsman has reached a higher peek than the others , who have stayed and lagged behind, will ever attai n. --May Nordquist, H9 A MOTTO FOR SPORT A good motto for sports is Play it fair and square . In order to play a game right you must have your whole mind on the game, that is, not have it wandering off to something else. You must be accurate and you will excel. — Angela Civello, -LS THE EFFECT OF GOOD HEALTHFUL SPORTS Your blood comes fastj You ' re hot. ' You ' re tirad. ' Yet you will not be put out of the game. Your team must win. Although you can scarcely stand, you are determined to play to the end. The game is over. ' You havo just had a cold shower and you foal as if you were sitting on top of the world. Your team has just won the vol- leyball game which was played with a very good opposing team. The score was 15-13; 9-15; 15-6. Now jour team is eligible to play in the inter- school championship meet. You learn to breathe correctly. Your body becomes healthy and strong. You become nimble and alert with the fun of it all. These c re only a few of the good affects of sports . --Eileen Froines, H9

LONS SPORTS In the world right now, many people are out of work. At the same time, some men work ten and twelve hours a day. Scientists tell us that if every man worked two hours a day all the necessary work of the world could be done. If this working schedule does go into effect, v;e shall have to find activities for our new leisure time. As we can ' t always play In a team, we must cultivate lone spoi ts. There are jigsaw puzzles and crossword puzzles, but they grow tire- some, so we must look up some active lone sports. Among these is hand- ball, which is a pleasure, and is also good exercise. Hiking is a healthful sport, especially for one who likes nature. Archcry, which re- quires skill and practice, keeps one out in the fresh air. Swimming may serve as a lone sport, although it is not usually done alone. These are a few of the sports which can be played alone. --Florence Ipsen, L8 HONOR ON THE PLAYING FIELD Many of the greatest lessons of life come from the games we play in our youth. We should play a game for its own sake. If a game is not in- teresting in itself, let it alone. We should be good losers and play the game fairly. Here is a good motto; Play the game for the game and nothing but the game. --Della Goddard, L9 TRAINING You have to train for any sport or game. Although ability plays an important part, training is necessary. When in training, you must have plenty of sleep and wholesome food. Although you are a good player in a game or sport, a man who is not quite so good as you but who will train is sure to be just as good and even better. Many fighters, wrestlers, football players, baseball players, and swimmers who did not train have often enough lost their championship and even injured themselves by mak- ing their muscles do more -work than ' they were used to. When you sec an athlete, remember that he has trained for a long time before he was ready to get in the race or event, --Sheldon Iversen, L8 SPORTSMANSHIP Sportsmanship is the most important part of athletics. No one can be a good athlete unless he is a good sportsman. If you get angry when someone shows himself your superior, you are not any kind of sportsman. To be a good sportsman you must not start a fight in the middle of a game or argue over points. It is far better to play fair and lose than to cheat and win. Most good sportsmen will have nothing to do with P-Toons that win by cheating. You can be a good sportsman in football baseball, soccer, basketball, running races, or any other game, as well in life. You will be admired much more by others about you if you are a good sportsman than if you are not. --Richard Fehr, H8
