The Games the Thing
After all. if you have left either a
winning or losing field without
your opponents respect for the main
things that make up sport-we'n say
courage, clean play, hard play. de-
cency-the harvest is hardly worth
while. It's tough to be good loser,
but a good loser looks better in de-
feat than an overbearing, unsports-
manlike victor does in his moment
of triumph.
Once again l believe too many
football followers expect too much
from too many teams.
ALI the teams don't happen to
have Harmons, or Kimbroughs, or
Cornelps material, or the backfelds
of Ohio State and Northwestern.
The mental attitudes of football
carry tremendous importance-as
well as physical condition-and they
can change abruptly from week to
week. October defeats can always
be wiped out by November victories.
One Of the many examples where
a great change can even occur be-
tween the halls was the recent Mar
uette-Wisconsin game. Wisconsin
was trailing. to IL at the hall, but
came back to gain decisive 1919
victory.
