There is an old proverb that states
that it is not the result of the game that
counts, but the way the game is played#
Last Tuesday evening our basketball team
lost to the Y.M.C.A, team of Freeland by
the overwhelming score of 70-13, TIM s in
itself was not a disgrace; but the fact
that in the writeup of the game in one
of the local papers, the boys substituted
the names of some of their classmates in
the boxscore this was the disgraceful
part of the entire matter.
There are two sides to this story.
First, the team that played was a patch
ed-up lineup, bacause only six men (four
J - V's ) showed up for the game, Second,
these boys did not want to take all the
blame for the ignominious defeat.
To these reasons there are two i*©- *.
plies, FIRST- To the varsity; if you
don’t have enough interest in the team to
show up for your regularly scheduled games,
you shouldn’t bother to play at all,
.SECOND— To the J - V's who played the
game;'if you did your best, don’t be
ashamed of yourselves. If you can't take
defeat as well as victory, let the fel
lowi whose names you used plajr the game.
They couldn't have done much worse.
Finally our long- awaited ping-pong
tournament has gotten under way. In fact,
when you read this, paper, it will probably
be over and the new Ping-Pong King will
be known.
Half of the contestants have already
played up to the quarter-finals in which
Miles Bonner and Sidney K-lemow partici
pated, Sidney Kiemow, the winner, is
anxiously awaiting the semi-finals, and
I don't blame him because ho has already
had his name inscribed on the trophy
twice.
Half of the contestants have not yet
reached the quarter-finals, but if you
will allow me to predict who will compete
with Sidney Kiemow in the semi-finals, I
would say that Charles Bruch will be the
lucky one, Anyhow, here's luck to Kiemow
and his unknown competitor.
