EDITORIAL

and everybody Is busy rushing
around to do the last minute
things and all of the things they
have forgotten to do. The Christ
mas spirit is very contagious. and
when you see a gayly lighted
Christmas tree, store windows fill
ed with suggestions for gifts, and
hear the story of Christmas in the
churches you are filled with the de-
sire to give to others and to wish
everyone good. Most every family
has a certain procedure in which
they participate in each year; the
time and way they give their pre-
sents; the food they eat on Christ
mas Eve and Christmas Day; and
hundreds OF other little things some
Of which you would never think of.
Christmas Is a time for happiness
and is probably the only time of the
year when the greatest amount Of
unselfishness Is shown by the ma
jority Of people.
The staff Of the Main Street wish
you all a Merry Christmas and q
Happy New Year.
SPORTS
Well, that's not so good, dropping
two games in a row, played two
nights in a row. The Benson game,
played on the local floor was q
much more interesting game to
watch than the Glenwood game.
It's funny thing, Sank Centre out
played Glenwood in every section
the dominant factor the final score,
according to the statistics. The
game opened with a bang, lulled
around for three quarters, closed
with another high burst of speed
when Sank Centre came uncom-
fortably close to winning. Bellinger
made the first score of the game
for Sank Centre but Glenwood
came back Immediately and pulled
ahead and stayed there. Sank Cen
ire cannot keep up an even speed
throughout a game-they play in
spurts. Only in the Glenwood game
these spurts did not result in the
much needed talleys. But it's no
wonder that the local squad cannot
match the speed and stamina dis
played by all 81. their opponents
There are a few common sense
every day training rules that even
we sports writer's know that q
basketball player must abide by If
he wants to keep UP with the times.
Certainly the way some Of the
ovnlIxy hvao 1r
training is irksome. Now maybe
the player cannot stick to strict
training but he could abstain just a
mite more than he does. He says
that 1t doesn't hurt him any to
smoke, get very little sleep, and
even drink. But it does! Any aver
age basketball fan can easily see
that. The boy who breaks training
often, will, after only a few min
utes of fast play, be winded, his
hands will feel like big diversified
hams, he will handle the ball slug
gishly, he cannot drlbble, pass nor
hit the basket as often as he is Or
dinarily able to. If you high school
athletes MUST break training
please confine it to the week-ends
when it will not effect your playing
so much. Sank Centre wants to see
some games won, maybe the dis
trict championship brought back
from the mighty Alex team. This
above is common sense.
AS a matter Of custom and as
this will be the last chance I get,
and as want to do it, wish you
all Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year. Also I want to thank
those who have paid any attention
to this section and to thank those
who have encouraged and admon-
ished me on my venture into sports
writing.
