Tourney Tip:
Lose Gracefully
By LOU FABRO
Times Sports Editor

Now is the time for all good sports fans to be
just that-good sports fans.
school basketball tournament time. And, If there is
an ideal time to remind fans and athletes about good
craftsmanship and department, it's when high school
cage ~quintets set out on the winding path which can
lead to athletic glory.
BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, we would
like to stress that good sportsmanshlp should be
practiced always. However, added effort is needed
during the cage Journeys because feelings and loyalty
reach a peak at this time.
Since there will be only two eventual state champ
ons-Clas AA and Glass A-there will be 99l also
rams in Ohio the night of March 26, when the final
tourney game is played.
While there are only two state champions, other
teams and their fans will have some comfort. After
all, there are titles to be won in non-county, county,
sectional, district and regional tournaments.
And if your team was one of those beaten by the
eventual state champions, you can say well, no one
else could stop them either"
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, however, the innumer-
able thrills of the cage tournaments are accompanied
by a large number of disappointment suffered by
losing teams and their fans.
It is to these that we direct our remarks.
Contests are played to determine a winner and a
loser. Since everyone can't win these games, losers
and their followers must be able to accept defeat like
champions.
selves by staging ~unsightly demonstrations or max.
ing sour comments. They will cheer the winners and
remember sits only a game" Here, we'll borrow a
paragraph from an article written in the Toledo Blade
by Sports Editor Don Wolfe:
eff your team loses, by all means cheer the con-
querors, because they, under the tournament set-up,
are going to get it too, sooner or later. But if they're
not going to lose, they'll merely be the state champ
ions. Therefore, you'll be the first to congratulate
them"
Diocesan teams and their fans, during past years,
have done very well in the craftsmanship department.
Let's keep up the good record-win or lose.
SINCE WE'RE GIVING OUT fatherly advice, we
might point out an observation made by the Commit
tee on the Medical Aspects of Sports of the American
Medical Association.
The group urges athletes not to begin smoking
or to continue if the habit is started. Abstain, that is,
if you wish to play at peak performance.
Effects of smoking vary, but the Committe not
ed that it can cause a number of harmful effects.
Smoking can cause nervousness, stomach distress,
throat and lung irritation and can cut down a persons
'wind." This doesn't mean that all smokers will land
in a doctors office or a hospital.
However, this should be pointed out: oftentimes,
the difference between winning and lc11" i'll athle-
tics is half a stride, a fraction of a second or a few
inches. Smoking can-and does-make the difference.
OF COURSE, THERE WILL be somebody who
says he knows "Joe Blow" smokes and he's the best
guy on the team. The question then is: chow much
better would Joe Blow be if he didn't smoker"
