Ring out, my soul, ring out today, Sing out the joy of life, Ring out, ring out to greet the day, To soothe my inner strife. In the sky fluttering tips of the nights, White grown, are vanishing away. And the East brings dim and rosy lights. The dawn of another day. Oh why should my soul and I, Live apart from the God of all? For money can not forgiveness buy, When the Savior issues His call. Let me join Him hand in hand, My soul with joy enthrall, Let me be among that band, Who gives this world their all. Ring out, my soul, ring out today Ring out the joy of life, Ring out, ring out to greet the day, To soothe my inner strife. —Roy Burcham.

The code of sportsmanship which has been adopted for athletics by many of the schools and colleges is: Keep the rules. Keep your temper. Keep faith with your comrade. Keep yourself fit. Keep a stout heart in defeat. Keep your pride under in victory. Keep a sound soul, a clean mind, and a healthy body. The following suggestions are offered for the consideration of those who want to co-operate in making basketball take and keep its proper place with our other American sports in the development of true sportsmanship : 1. Learn the rules of the game so that either as player or spectator you will be intelligent. 2. Accept decisions of officials without question during the game. 3. Permit no irritating or abusive remarks on the side-lines to players or officials. 4. Recognize and applaud on exhibition of fine play or good sportsmanship by a visiting team. 5. Insist on the courteous treatment of the visiting team and show its members every possible consideration. 6. Remember that the spectator as well as the athlete represents the school or community and that a good name is of more value than any victory. 7. Acquaint the community with the ideals of sportsmanship for which you stand, and impress upon the community its responsibility for self-control and fair play at all contests. 8. Insist on fair, courteous and truthful accounts of athletic contests in local papers. When in doubt, give your opponents the benefit. Never alibi. 9. Be familiar with the rules of eligibility. Support their strict enforcement. 10. Encourage full discussion of fair play and sportsmanship. Make the code and play the game. “When the great scorer comes To write against your name, He writes not that you won or lost But how you played the game.” —Adapted from National Rules Committee.
