SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1943 MAROON AND GOLD PAGE THREE m With BILL PRITCHARD SOCIETY COLUMN Diplomas Awarded at Delightful Party In participating in intramural snorts, we siiould all remember that we must use sportsman ship in these contests just as we would use it in intercolle giate sports. In fact, we would like to see intramural sports manship on the same level as that maintained by Elon var sity clubs in North State com petition in past years. Webster says that sportsman ship is skill in a sport, but to us today the word has come to mean more than that; it means fair play and cleanness in a ball game. We could use a bit of this in our intramural games. We venture to say that most of the misunderstandings occurring on the courts could be peaceably avoided if everyone would consider that all plays, fouls, etc,, called by the referee are done not for the personal side of it but for the game itself. Some of these “spats” that we witness sometimes between the referee and the different players and teams are a sample of this; and still another one are the rumors heard after a game by a losing team’s players, insinuating that someone played “dirty” or that the game was not called fair. If we try to use sportsmanship, the games will be much cleaner and more enjoyable for everyone. How about it? At ore.sent, Alpha Pi is leading the league with a record of six wins and one defeat.
