COACH'S GREEN SHIRT
BRINGS TEAM "LUCK"

ANNAPOLIS, Mo, May II. - st.
Johns stickmen tuned up today for
their concluding contest tomorrow
against Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.
Coach Dinty Moore got his lucky shirt
back from the laundry today and is
ready for the fray. Moore has a tan
suit, a light green shirt and bright
tie that he has worn through most of
his victories this year.
Moore claims to have no more super
stition than other men. But when st.
Johns beat Maryland he decided that
his costume had contributed to the re-
suit
After the game Moore carefully hung
UP his suit and sent his green shirt
to the Chinaman's. On the Northern
trip he wore the lucky outfit for the
Yale game and the Johnnies came
through with an 8-to-2 victory. Moore
wasn't worried about Harvard or Dart
mouth and risked blue shirt.
At last weeks game with Randolph
Macon Moore came out in gray suit.
Athletic Director Tody Riggs had a
hard time explaining to Gus WEIGH that
Moore intended no insult by leaving
the lucky suit for the Hopkins windup.
Moore thinks that If st. Johns
crashes through against Hopkins to-
morrow he will be able to hold his
priced garments over for another sea-
son.

same square deal A sportsman is not
required with foolish generosity to give
an opponent an advantage, but he is
required never to take a questionable
advantage.
The coach who teaches a boy that
it is all right to deal from the bottom
of the deck, if he can get away with
it, has no place in amateur sport.
And it is the boys of the Nation, those
connecting links in the chain which
binds the past and future, who not
only will set up new records, in every
branch of sports, but upon whom new
records in sportsmanship depend.
The future of the community, the
State, the country and the world is
theirs, to do with as they will. They
will sit in the arbitration councils of
tomorrow-or fight tomorrow's wars.
We, who have seen war, know that
the greatest, safest, finest legacy we
can leave youth is a spirit of sports
manship. Our job is to make boys
sportsmen from the start.
craftsmanship, in its general phase,
Is easily defined. It is mostly being
gentle in strength; being courageous
in weakness: loving your game; giving
your best; being fair toward your ad-
versaries, and being on the level with
yourself.
