Delaware at Catholic University (base Only Fair Thing to His Team and to His Opponents, Dr. Kennedy Says. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. T a luncheon, given by the Sportsmanship Brotherhood, Dr. Charles W. Kennedy, chairman of the Princeton board of ath- letic control, spoke on the spirit of sportsmanship, saying that all com- mpittees and boards, all the coaches, stadia and playing fields of any coun- try represented only wasted effort and investment, only frustrated faith, unless their use brought home to the heart of youth the age-old gospel of a high and generous chivalry in sport. A later portion of Dr. Kennedy's speech seems to me well worth direct quotation. He said: “I have no sympathy whatever with the notion that boy or man should ap- proach any game in a dilettante atti- tude of casual indifference to excel- lence of play or to the outcome of the game. I have no sympathy whatever with the competitor who wants to play &t a game instead of playing the game. Unless some of us are hopelessly at| sea in these matters, a sportsman is one who in any competition gives his best and intends to give his best; who desires to win and who by every honor- able means, so far as in him lies, intends to win. Any other attitude of mind than this would be at odds with the very spirit of sportsmanship itself, for it would be unfair to one’s teammates, who are entitled to count upon one’s co-operative best, and un- fair to one's opponent, who is en- titled to one’s competitive best.” Romeyne Bewy of Cornell once'ex- ressed much the same sentiment in rief form. Berry wrote: “The chief end of sport is fun. It is wise, and good form, to cultivate a pose of casualness off the field. But ‘when the whistle blows for contest or practice there is no place for casual- ness on a varsity squad.” It appears to me that this is true. ‘The amateur slogan of playing a game for the game's sake means to play, not for material reward, but for mental and physical enjoyment—for fun. Can any one say that any great amount of spiritual calm, mental relaxation and physical glow is induced by continual defeat? doubt it. It is practically always more inspiring and more fun to win than to lose, and it is just as sportsmanlike, if you are playing for the games sake. It is not sportsmanlike, naturally, to play an opponent to in- ferior that he has no chance, for ma- terial stakes. Sportsmanship perhaps is intangible, & thing of the spirit, but it always has seemed to be fairly simple. It has nothing to do with meakness or grand- stand generosity. The man who palpa- bly and ostentatiously tosses a point to an opponent, to express contempt of an official or win applause from the stands, is not a sportsman; he's a show- off. Nor does a sportsman have to be meek to be blessed. The man who wouldn't fight for a principle or a square deal wouldn’t be much of a fellow. But the sportsman is careful to see that others get the _— 2 HARRY MILBURN, Former Central High hurler, of whom pot a great deal was expected at the outset of the season, was credited with three of the five victories scored by the Old Liners in their campaign, which was ended yesterday. same square deal. A sportsman is not required .with foolish generosity to give an opponent an advantage, but he is required never to take a questionable advantage. The coach who teaches a boy that it is all right to deal from the bottom of the deck, if he can get away with it, has no place in amateur sport. And it is the boys of the Nation, those connecting links in the chain which binds the past and future, who not only will set up new records, in every branch of sports, but upon whom new records in sportsmanship depend. The future of the community, the State, the country and the world is theirs, to do with as they will. They will sit in the arbitration councils of tomorrow—or fight tomorrow’s wars. ‘We, who have seen war, know that the greatest, safest, finest legacy we can leave youth is a spirit of sports- manship. Our job is to make boys sportsmen from the start. Sportsmanship, in its general phase, is easily defined. It is mostly being gentle in strength; being courageous in weakness; loving your game; giving your best; being fair toward your ad- versarl';!. and being on the level with urself, Copyright, 1929, by North American News- paper Allianice.) STANFORD IS CHOICE IN COLLEGIATE MEET By the Associated Press. Stanford will .be the favored team in the intercollegiate track and field cham- pionships at Philadelphia, May 31 and June 1, but the East counts on getting the lion’s share of individual honors by way of easing the pain of far Western conquest, which fast has developed into a habit. Jimmy Daley of Holy Cross or Karl Wildermuth of Georgetown may cut into the Spring honors now that Charley Borah of Southern California is on the casualty list. Borah, in fact, I slated only to run the 200. Phil Ed- wards, New York University's dusky fiyer, will try for double honors in the 440 and 880-yard runs. Jimmy Reid of Harvard, in the mile, and Montgomery of Penn in the 2-mile run, are potential champions. Reid won the 2-mile crown last Spring and may forsake this for the mile, unless he tries the iron-man stunt and seeks both titles. On form so far, Maynard of Darth- S o> NN N (% <) mouth in the high jump, Sturdy of Yale in the pole vault and Black of Maine in the hammer throw, will be favorites. But the far West will be hard to beat in the weights, with Roth- ert and Kernz of Stanford tossing the shot and discus, while Churchill and Curtice of California heave the javelin. Anderson of Cornell looms as an East- ern hope in the weights. COLLEGE BASE BALL. Maryland, 8; Washington College, 6. Villanova, 7; Harvard, 6. Princeton, 4; Penn State, 1.

It was the fifth win for the Old Liners in 15 starts. Harry Milburn, pinch-pitching for Maryland, registered his third triumph in the game. He relieved Boublitz after the Chestertown team in five innings had overcome a five-run lead Maryland gained in the first round and for four rounds held the opposition to two hits. Georgetown's golfers yesterday swamped Dartmouth in the intercol- legiate tourney at the Westchester- Biltmore Country Club near New York, taking eight of nine matches played. Wilson was the only Hilltopper to be defeated and he carried Smith to the nineteenth hole before losing. McCarthy and Begor scored signal victories for Georgetown in the singles. George Washington's tennis team took the measure of the Virginia Military In- stitute netmen in five of six matches contested yesterday at Lexington. The lone V. M. I. win was achieved by Jenkins and Stegman over Considine and Phillips in the doubles. Considine, though, won easily in the singles, de- game of the 1929 foot ball season, De- cember 7. Approval was received for the game this afternoon from Coach John J. Mc- Ewan of Oregon, and contracts will be mailed immediately to close the deal, Bachman said. COACH’S GREEN SHIRT BRINGS TEAM “LUCK” ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 17. — St. John’s stickmen tuned up today for their concluding contest tomorrow against Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Coach Dinty Moore got his lucky shirt back from the laundry today and is ready for the fray. Moore has a tan suit, & light green shirt and a bright tie that he has worn through most of his victories this year. Moore claims to have no more super- stition than other men. But when St. John's beat Maryland he decided that his costume had contributed to the re- sult. After the game Moore carefully hung up his suit and sent his green shirt to the Chinaman’s. On the Northern trip he wore the lucky outfit for the Yale game and the Johnnies came through with an 8-to-2 victory. Moore wasn’t worried about Harvard or Dart- mouth and risked a blue shirt. At last week's game with Randolph- Macon Moore came out in a gray suit. Athletic Director Tody Riggs had a hard time explaining to Gus Welch that Moore intended no insult by leaving the lucky suit for the Hopkins windup. Moore thinks that if St. John's crashes through against Hopkins to- morrow he will be able to hold his prized garments over for another sea- o PETERSON, CUE EXPERT, TO PLAY AT PRESS CLUB Charles C.
