Robel. eliminating much of the physical development that a rural boy or girl gets. Physical growth is taken care of by recreational programs that build health along with character. The growth of higher moral and intellectual powers depends on the interaction of nerves and muscles. Football is looked upon as the crowning sport in the academic world, because it brings all-around development. This year the boys brought to our school the Suburban Football Championship for the fifth time in seven years. Being mem- bers of a championship squad is not the only reward for these boys. They have made friends that will be remembered for life. They found that the keynote in football is the ability to do something without the help of others. They learned to take severe criticism and hard knocks in order to reach their goals. Behind the team there has been a master mind, the coach. Mr. Saubert has faced many pre-season difliculties with the team, but he took the material avail- able and whipped it into a team that won a championship. lt has been the work of Coach Saubert to organize plays, drill them into the players: but far more important is the team spirit that he has drilled into the boys. We praise Coach Saubert and his able assistants, Mr. Wolf and Mr. Panella, for producing such a team. The days are over when moral issues are thought so minor that a coach is selected merely on his ability to turn out Winning teams. Preeminent among his qualities is the desire and ability to serve as a moral leader of boys. Athletics in high schools provide a fruitful field for cultivation of a large number of funda- mental virtues. Coach Saubert is outstanding for his ability to develop clean, fair players.

i I I .. A . a ...L 515, MARQUETTE VS, WAUKESHA A1 Kranzush takes the lead in the half-mile. The definition of sportsmanship is given as the practise of fairness and generosity of spirit, shown especially in sports. How very important this is in schools and in life! The position a school holds among others depends to a large degree upon its type of sportsmanship. Whether or not a school can meet adverse conditions and defeat as well as gain supremacy and victory over competitors, in the same fair and honorable way that sportsmanship requires, spells its attainment. Cur school is not lacking this quality, as is shown in the sportsmanlike way in which we took our penalty for playing an ineligible forward on our basket- ball team, Our team showed determination and a genuine school spirit in the way in which they defeated the champions, Shorewood, although not credited for this. Serious obstacles, through the winter, threatened the outlook of the team. A fellow sure to make a valuable addition to our quintet, against the rules, played with another city team a few days after having been declared a member of Waukesha High team. Another not being able to keep certain important train- ing rules was lost to the team. Other cases were similar. The carrying out of Waukesha's ideals meant a sacrifice, but after all, do not the famous words, When the one great scorer comes to write against your name, he writes not whether you won or lost, but how you played the game, mean more than a championship not fairly and squarely won? The modern survivor of the ancient Greek Marathon race is the cross-country run. The course in high school is usually two miles in length, and is run on country and city highways instead of on a Cinder track. The race requires a Page One Hundred Sixteen
