SPORTSMANSHIP HAT are your ideas of sportsmanship? A sportsman must be 'a good loser as well as a good winner. In a recent game of scoring points in basket ball, three boys were tie. One of them dropped out and left the field to be scored out by the other two. Was that not good sportsmanship? The loving cup was won by the one who had the most votes. The people must have considered him a good athlete or they would not have helped him to win. The other contestants have not shown any hard feelings. They must have been good losers. Good sportsmanship is always admired. Even in the speaking contest. All the speakers were glad when the winners were announced, even if their own names were not called. They knew that the judges were fair and they congratulated the winners. Let us all try to be as good sports as the ones whom I have mentioned.
