G O S H O H I A N 'i-itifjfrfjgg g l Sportsmanship When we hear someone speak of a game of basketball, baseball, foot- ball, or perhaps a track meet, being won or lost--what do we think of? Is it the amount of points the winning team scored over their opponents? Is it how loudly the spectators cheered for the winning side? Or, is it the attitude the teams showed toward one anotherg the method in which each approached his opposing man-Abriefly, his sportsmanship. It is not the number of points or games scored that should mean the most to us, but how we accomplished whatever honors we received. It should mean more to us that we lost a game playing squarely than to carry off the honors with a head bowed in the shame of the memory of the time we made an intentional foul play. To win graciously is indeed an honor but to lose with square play gallantly is by far a greater display of true sportsmanship. When we speah of siortsmanship we usually think of some sort of athletic gwnesp but do we not need the ability to play squarely in all other things in life as well? One of the greatest lessons we can ever learn is that when we are fighting one of the greatest contests of our lives, and, to all outward appearances, we've lost, in our hearts we know we've won one more point for our one great battle of square play--sportsmanship. --Nellie V1 Christy The Journalistio Club The F.
