TRAINING IN sPoRTSMANsHIP

People who do not believe much il
college and school athletics may thank
that the time spent in football and
baseball is largely wasted. But these
athletics get something beside what
ever physical benefit comes from
their experience.
One great gain is the training they
get in dealing with opponents. To
the raw and undeveloped boy, an
opposing team is a kind of enemy,
which is viewed with hostility and
perhaps treated roughly.
The. college and school athlete
learns to bear himself like a gentle
man in meeting opponents. Instead
of regarding them as hostile invaders,
and making them feel like enemies on
his grounds, he meets them with the
utmost courtesy, and makes them feel
comfortable and at home. In the con-
tact on the field, he is just as anxious
to give the square deal as &C get it.
When a boy attains spirit Of this
kind, he acquires a form of chivalry
that arouses admiration, and must
win him friends when he gets out into
the conflicts of life.--Springfield Re-
publican,

me in words how much he is my
friend, but when he does it in kindly
acts-well, that's what makes life
worth while.
Theo. Walker struck a keynote at
the banquet last night. He implied
that a town without Chamber of

could have said both deaf and mute.

come out in long interviews declaring
satisfaction with the results of the
recent elections, if this is so, it leaves
the road open to a merry Christmas
and very happy New Year.
