f 9 Clean I want that boy of mine to be Square to the last and final letterg From taint or cunning wholly free. I want him to love honor better Than victory and silver things Which contest in a struggle brings. Clean as a hound's tooth! that's the phrase Once by our leader Roosevelt spoken, Who loved the sportsman's manly ways, And valued truth beyond a tokeng Better to lose with conscience clean Than win by methods false and mean. I want him to observe the rules, Be fair in desperate circumstancesg To know that cunning's used by fools Who fear to take the harder chances! That with the victory of deceit The victor quits the field a cheat. I want him to play hard to win, But not make victory his masterg Whatever game he enters in, Though he must triumph or disaster. I want him coming home a man As clean as when the game began. Oh, boy of mine, let sportsmanship Never for any gain desert youg If on yourself you keep your grip There is no failure that can hurt youg You shall have more than prizes mean, If you have kept your record clean. -Edgar A. Guest
