Y. M. c. A. NOTES

Inc SUNDAY afternoon meeting loi
men and boys was held at o'clock
in the gymnasium and was presided
over by Frank G. harrington, with
prayer by w. D. Hutchens. After the
singing of several hymns Paul +.
Fraser, captain of the Colby football
championship team for 1914, was in
troduced as the speaker of the after
noon.
Mr.. Fraser spoke on the subject OF
Clean Sport" His first statement
was: IF there is anything / believe
in it's clean sport" He made the an
alogy of the game Of football to the
game Of anything in life; it demands
that a man play hard and play clean.
Football demands the consideration OF
the team first, and in that respect
calls for the element of self sacrifice
Football likewise demands hard work:
the long sensational end run is made
possible by 10 other men.
From Mr.. Fraser's personal expe-
rience he has been able to determine
three kinds of unclean players: the
slugger, the dirty player and the
quitttr. The slugger must learn t.
master himself before he can master
his opponent and be of any use to his
team. The dirty player, who has been
coached to play dirty, is the most pa
thetic. He must learn the folly of this
kind of play and realize that victo-
ries come from clean play. Concern
ing the gutter Mr.. Fraser stated thai
in his experience on the gridlron the
thing which has stirred his energies
the most, more than the cheering ami
more than any other thing, has been
when he has heard the phrase Get
Fraser come from the other side o.
the line He said that when he heara
that he knew that there was quit
ter q man who no one need to race
anywhere.
The speaker referred to Bob Fish
er. the eminent Harvard guard, VINO
after a big pool had been formed con
corning his lasting through a GER
tain game. refused to play dirty TO-
his own protection.
He called attention that an uncieaa
PLAYER is moderated on big team
and pointed out that every man Wns
Walter Camp selected for this year :
All-America was a man who piayes'
clean.
In closing Mr.. Fraser expressed the
arm conviction, evolved from loul
wears, Varsity football. that hard play
and clean play will win the game.
