Wednesday, July 15, St.
Columban lost 1.0 to Inger-
soll in the second round
. league cup last ,Wednesday.
The game started out very
quickly for" St. Columban as
they scored a goal with only
two minutes being played;
but the referee, after consult-
ing with his linesman. disal-
lowed the goal saying a St.
Columban player was in an
offside position. The call
seemed to take a bit of starch
out of St. Columban as
Ingersoll seemed to take
control, and midway through
the first half scored to take a
1-0 lead.
St. .Columban started to
pick up the pace a bit and
had it not been for some good
goal tending and a bit of luck
could easily have tied the
game as Ernie Szabo was
sent in all alone only to have
the Ingersoll goalie rush out

The secoild—half saw St.
Columban again receive nu-
merous searing chances but
they couldn't finish off the
playi and the game ended
1-0 for Ingersoll.
Sunday July 19, the loss to
Ingersoll seemed tolinger'on
into Sunday as. St. Columban
put. together the worst 90
minutes• of soccer they've
played this year as they lost
to the lowly West Lorne team

An important lesson was
taught me a while ago by my
brother's coach.
My brother recently won an
award for competitiveness in
badminton at the S. D1H. S.
Athletic Banquet. When his
coach, Jim Nigh. presented
the award, he said David had
an "attitude-change" Which
made him.-eligible for the
award. After the presentat:
ions. Jim explained' David
had been too hard on him-
self. getting angry each time
he missed a shot. Jim took
David aside and' suggested
that instead of getting angry
at himself. he should congra-
tulate his opponent on a
"good shot" and prepare for
the next volley. With this
approach. the player doesn't
Waste his energy on anger.
This seemingly simple
piece of advice made terrific
sense to me. and I try to keep
it in mind. whatever 'I ni
doing.

for two main reasons, an
unfair call or frustration with
his own abilities. The article
quoted his father as sayirig
John sets high standards for
himself. This could be his
major problem. John said he
respects Bjorn Borg. and he
gives his all during matches
with Borg. During final
games against Borg in the
last two years at Wimbledon,
McEnroe didn't raise his
normal fuss, because he
needed all his energy. This
year it paid ot..-Hc beat Borg.
His talent allows him to

and Gerulaitis. even when he
is-romplainingtand carrying

his toughest competition, he
must conserve his energy.
McEnroe told the author. of
the article he feels he, can see
a ball better than the offic-
ials. Therefore he gets engry
when a call is wrong. and
raises a fuss. The crowds
become angry at him: and
tension mounts. It can't be a
very favourable atnios.phere
to play in.
There is a bit of a vicious
twist to this, What I have
discussed to this point could
he described as sportsman•
ship. In the game of tennis,
there is a strong emphasis 'on
sportsmanship.-The All. Eng-
iand tennis club has snubbed
McEnroe for his behaviou r.
In response to their treat•
ment he snubbed them b%
not attending , the cloSing
banquet. The\ again snub-

ship. The club maintains he
is bringing the game into
- disrepute.
With the All-England club
and-the Men's International
Professional Club angry at
him, it is a wonder
McEnroe is allowed to play.
The fans supposedly detest
him. However. the internat-
ional Tennis Federation, in-
sists that McEnroe not be
disqualified because they are
afraid of reduced gate re-
cciptes and hassle from tele-
vision broadcasters. "No one
would think of expelling him
since he is a main attraction"
reported a London Free
Press article. quoting Earl
Buchholz.
Although the top authorit-
ies in tennis maintain he is
"poor . spirt". and the
crowds get angry at him. he
is a main attraction. It is'
ironic when one realind the
crowd actually loop hint
because they fiat( him. The
public in general loves a poor
sport. because they love to
hate.
Another example of this is
the wrestling matches. Sev-
eral of those• gigantic beasts
make a living from being
hated by crowds. They have
finished half their perform-
ance before they enter the'
ring. They' threaten; pout
'and make Obscene gestures
while the crowd jeers and
loves .it.
Another ironic twist to this
story is that in personal life..
McEnroe is reported to be a
warm dad considerate per-
son. Not the whiner who is
hated in public.
Sportsmanship is taught to
us an as essential part of any
sport from the time we can
walk. It has been proven that
by being a good sport. and
not becoming angry, one's
game can improve. It is
important for us to maintain
our cools, and participate as
gond sportspeopie.
Yet we see these profess.
ionals. the top in the world,
being pictured as spoiled
brats. allot maintaining a
sportmanlike image, and be-
ing paid handsomely, for it.
When a negative image will
bring more publicity than a
positive image. that is the
one we are presented with.
Coaches like Jim Nigh
continue to give good advice
about sportsmanship, play.
ers like my brother heed the
advice to become better, but
negitive images of McEnroe
receive more publicity than
positive images of Borg,
Make sense?
And so little is said when
McEnroe turns down
$600,000 to play in a tourna-
ment in South Africa because
, he feels it would be read as
tacit approval for the coute
