An Incentive to Clean Sport
During the last few days Bismarck
has been host to some of the finest
Jewels in North Dakotas crown, the
members of the high school basket
ball teams here to compete in the
state tournament and the boys and
. girls who came along to cheer them
on.
II Because all sections are represented
Y at these tournaments the gathering
:. was most representative of the youth
of our state and one of which North
7 Dakota, or any other state in the
union, might well be proud.
To the winners 60 the joys of a
championship. To the runners-up
and other participants comes the
satisfaction Of having done their best
and the experience of participation
in the states premier high school
athletic event. It is situation where
everyone who comes with an open
mind gains something. No one loses.
Back home, in the rest of the state,
there are hundreds of high school
teams, each of which watches the
: results Of the state tournament with
3, interest. At the beginning some of
b them had hopes Of participation, but
& the fates which rule the affairs Of
sport decided against them and they
were left by the wayside during the
b march to the grand finale.
d And so the teams which played
= here were representatives, not only
= of their home cities but of entire dis
e tricts of the state. They were rep
II resentative of the thousands of fine
" boys and girls who appear each year
:, in athletic competitions in this state.
i They offered proof Of the fine ply
Y steal development, speed and stamina
!: of the youth Of our state. They proved
: that youth today is just as clear
y eyed. frank and forward looking as
y the boys and girls of yesterday ever
!, were.
: In times where it takes real cour-
I. age to keep the fighting spirit at
: working pitch, when one wonders
what the future holds. not only for
the individual but for the nation,
one gets new encouragement by at

q And SO, because it likes to enter

n Bismarck hopes that they will be with
. us again next year and for many
n years In the future.
