TEN COMMANDMENTS OF SPORT 1. Thou shalt not quit. 2. Thou shalt not alibi. 3. Thou shalt not gloat over winning. 4. Thou shalt not sulk over losing. 5. Thou shalt not take unfair advantage. 6. Thou shalt not ask odds thou are not willing to give. 7. Thou shalt always be willing to give thine opponent the shade. 8. Thou shalt not underestimate an opponent, or overestimate thyself. 9. Remember that the game is the thing, and he who thinks otherwise is a mocker and no true sportsman. 10. Honor the game thou playest for he who playeth the game straight and hard, wins even when he loses. When it comes to naming their football teams, most American colleges prefer animals.
