SPORTS s To win the game is great, To play the game is greater, To love the game is greatest? Not every-one may Wing someone is sure to lose. The ambility to respect an honourable o-pponent and accept defeat generously is one of the greatest les- sons of life. Sportsmanship means not only to ac- cept defeat generously or to acknowl- edge victory graciously. A good sport is the person who is at all times re- liable, dependaible, honest, cheerful a-nd, above all, co-operative. If We maintain throughout life the same ideals of sporftsmanszhip, fair play, courage and endurance which are most impor-tanit in games, we will be suc- cessful in the game of life. M. MCCRIMMON.

He himself was the foremost organist of his day, and wrote many diiioicult works Cfor violin and clavichord as well as for organb which even today tax the most capable performers, Bach is olf special infterest to pianists, because he was the inventor of the modern system of equal temperament for tuning Keyboard instruments. The Well Tempered Clavichordv was writ- 'ten to demonstra-te the superiority off this system. Also, it was Bach who first inltroduced the use of the thumb in playing the clavichord. When one considers the splendor of his polysphiony, and the intricacy' of his technique, it is not surprising that mu- sicians are welcoming this opportunity of paying tribute to a man who left one of the m-ost precious legacies the world has ever received.
