FCENTLY an All American football player said that in playing profes- sional football one missed the cheer of the college men, those boosters and supporters who are behind the player be- cause he is one of their number, fighting for them as a brother knight who brings back victory and glory to the group of which all are loyal members. At a game all loyal supporters of the team sit in the assigned bleachers. Be- cause of a temporary disappointment oc- casionally one slips over to the other side and sits with the opponents. Everyone knows how such an act is regarded. There is nothing much finer in the world than LOYALTY. Loyalty shows what one stands for. It indicates one's character. Badges and pins are emblems of recognition. They indicate one's be- liefs and ideals. The Flag of our coun- try is the symbol of our belief in the ideals of the United States of America, the badge of our brotherhood. Back of the Hag is our country with all its institutions. It often happens that those entrusted with the administration of state affairs are dishonest and imcompetent. But the country is bigger than they. Its ideals live in the hearts of the people. Always there are more loyal citizens than disloyal, ready, when roused to action, to do their duty. The country needs your training, your good citizenship, and your loyalty. If ever you think your country does not measure up to your expectations, your good common sense should tell you not to desert it but to do your part to help it win against its opponents. When you see mistakes in the game, continue to root for your team. In the same way get behind your country, who is playing hard for you against her enemies and yours. After every game there is time to discuss and correct mistakes. Exert yourself for a better team that will play a better game for you and your fellows. There are sane and legitimate ways to correct abuses and mistakes in the work in which our country engages. But while the game is on, help your fellows. Sit in your own bleachers, Stand by your Flag.
