The Etiquette Of Sports
There are certain rules for the
playing of every game. But, a-
part from the technique of each
sport, the etiquette—or the basic
principles of good sportsmanship
—are the same.
No favoritism can be displayed
in any sport. The game is based
on impersonal fairness to every
one, or it is not sport.
If you are not able to take
sports with grace and good temp
er, don’t go in for them. Cursing
out your faults, complaining, pro
testing, or excusing won’t get
anywhere—except “in wrong.”
The first rule of sportmanship is
never to display ill humor.
To always give your opponent
the benefit of the doubt is the
second rule. Although it may cost
you a particular game, nothing is
more important to your standing
as sportsman.
Avoid the show-off practice of
understating ability, so that if
you should play brilliantly it
would create admiring surprise.
A player should declare him
self unskilled only when he real
ly is and would be an annoyance
in a game.
In acquiring sportsmanship,
keep your mind on the game, not
on your feelings. If you win, j
don’t feel above everybody else.'
When you lose, don’t complain, j
Get up and good-naturedly and ;
courageously prepare for the next
encounter. This is the only way I
to play the game of life!

High School Cagers At
Home And Abroad
Basketball is really under way
m the High School as it never has
been before, say all who know.
The tribe teams were posted
Thursday, March 4, much to the
delight of everyone. Congratula
tions to those who made the team!
You certainly are doing some
grand playing. The tournament
games are really exciting. If you
don’t believe it, come down and
see for yourselves. Come on down
anyway and cheer your tribe to
victory.
The Montreat High School team
met the Black Mountain High
School Girls in the latters’ gym,
February 16, and were defeated
35-30. Each team played a clean,
exciting game. Then on February
23, the home team was defeated
34-27 by the Black Mountain Or
phanage at the Orphanage.
The home team played Sw'an-
nanoa Girls’ team March 1, and
brought home a victory of 31-14.
The game was off to a good start
from the second it began. When
the ball was thrown in to the
Swannanoa girls, our guards took
it, passed it over center line to
the forwards for the first goal of
ihe game. Upon orders from Miss
Burney the guards played “zone”.
The forwards of the opposition
could not break the “zone” and
therefore could not make many
goals.
The basketball tournament,
which began March 9, is in full
swing now, and the games are
very exciting. Every tribe has a
wonderful team and it is impos
sible to guess who will come out
as the winner.
Now that we are again having
competition between the tribes,
the tribe spirit has soared, and
everyone seems to be beaming
with pride and joy for their tribe
—and with a good reason, too,
for every tribe is making a re-

Why are the patients at the

as the girls enjoyed giving it.

EASTER—IN YOUR HEART
(Continued from page 2)
over, but we do not have peace on earth today. Fear, distrust,
hate, and strife are found among many peoples of the world.
Jesus was called the Prince of Peace, and He is not dead, but
living today, waiting to be received into the hearts of men.
Not only will He give peace to the individual, but His way of
living will make for world peace.
Then let us ask Christ to cleanse our sinful hearts so that
victory and joy, love and peace, faith and hope can come in
and renew our lives. “Like as Christ was raised up from the
dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk
in newness of life.” (Rom. 6:4) Then, when our lives have been
changed, will we have received the true message of Easter in
our hearts.
’Tis in your heart, beloved, that the Easter morning
breaks.
Your slumbering consciousness of Love with thrilling
joy awakes;
Your thought goes out a minister of good to heal and
bless
The suffering and desolate who need your tenderness.
’Tis in your heart, beloved, that the Easter lilies
bloom.
The sweet flowers of affection whose incense cheers
the gloom;
Go forth and spill their fragrance, whatever wind
may blow.
The lilites of Ascension thro’ all the years must grow.
’Tis from your heart, beloved, that the stone is rolled
away.
The Life for all men given pulses in your life today;
The banners of Love’s marching hosts are to the
breeze unfurled.
And the dawn-light of the Kingdom is streaming
down the world.
Ring out the bells, beloved, the joyous Easter bell.
Celestial harmony along their cadence rolls and
swells.
The blessed Christ is risen in the hearts that throb
and thrill
Responsive to Love’s law wherein we may all laws
fulfill.—Annie L. Muzzey
