s W Q THE TRIPLE D CLEAN I want that boy of mine to be Square to the last and final letter, From taint or cunning wholly free, I want him to love honor better Than victory and silver things Which contest in the struggle brings. Clean as a hound's tooth , that's the Once by our leader Roosevelt spoken, Who loved the sportsman's manly ways, And valued truth beyond a token, 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 chancesg 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 master, Whatever game he enters in Though he meet 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 you, You shall have more that prizes mean, If you have kept your record CLEAN. 09 0 Page Fifty-one : phrase fGuestJ
