BREAK-DOWN
OF A SPORT
1.•••••••••••=.
We frequently hear, from time to
time, such expressions as "He or she
is a good spOrt" or He nr she is a poor
sport"; the poor, signifying bad; the
good, genuhn. I contend, however that
lire person referred to, tither is or is
not, a snort. I further maintain that
sport if divested of its lawfully estab-
lished Rules and Regulations ceases
to be sport and is transformed into an
ignoble gamble, or a pestiferously par-
tizan squabble.
It is indeed permissible to speak of
one as an ardent sport, a spirited sport,
or, of another, as an indifferent or luke-
wain sport. Both classes may teeth-tate-
ly claim the name of sports, however,
if and only if they willingly subscribe
to and believe in the efficacy and wis-
dom of the regulations attached to the
Particular sport they favor.
I am releasing these sentiments now
becuase my attention has just been dir-
ected to certain excerpts clipped from
idighbourhood papers, all commenting
unfavourably on the decision made by
officials of the W.O.A.A. declaring the
Wingliant Softball Team district cram
lionsand awarding it the group cup.
Notwithstanding the charge of unfair-
ness hurled at the heads of those offic-
ials by angry and disconsolate scribes,
I venture to affirm, that, the officials,
adamantly true to sport colour, to Sport ,
precedent and to the stern voice of
duty, did pereisely the only thing their
I
conscience permitted, and the laws
governing Softball allowed.
Somewhat reluctantly, therefore I
call upon the writer of the aiticleS al-
luded to, to disabuse themselves of
the idea that THEY ate sports. Sports
accept -defeat as they accept 'victory.
This is chatty demonstrated at the end
of each game, When the losing team
never hesitated to nice themtelves for
At the morning service in the United
Church, Rev. J. A. Burden spoke on
the subject, "Doing as we please" based
on the text, Judges 17-6. In these days
there was no king in Israel, but every
man did that which was right in his
own eyes. A solo "Near to the Heart
of God" was sung by Mrs. Alex Mc-
Crackin,
At Knox .P resbyt erIan Church, Rev.
Leland C.' Jorgensen meditated on

rament of the Lord's Supper will be
observed on December 14th.
