Foreword • • We present our theme, good sportsmanship, in the hope that we will always play the game of life as good sports. “For when the Great Recorder comes. To write against your name. It matters n ot whether you won or lost. But how you played the game.” THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF SPORTS: 1. Thou shalt not quit. 2. Thou shalt not alibi. 3. Thou shall not gloat over winning. 4. Thou shalt not sulk over losing. 5. Thou shalt not take unfair advanta.ge. 6. Thou shalt not ask odds thou art unwilling to give. 7. Thou shalt always be willing to give thine opponent the shade. 8. Thou shalt not underestimate an opponent, nor over- estimate thyself. 9. Remember that the game is the thing, and he who thinks otherwise is a mucker and no true sportsman. 10. Honor the game thou playest, for he who playeth the game straight and hard, wins even when he loses.
