PLUMBING HEATING Contractor at tkat tine still a eo dm gun One of the roost critical problems in athletics at the moment it seems to us the officiating of games and sport The problem arises not only with the amateur sports but more particularly with professional sport In a country where sports manship is supposedly ingrained and where it is traditional to say the least athletes and spectators alike are showing a lamentable lack of it towards officials and opponents- Rules are necessary limitations on the play Had we no rales it would be practically impossible for one team to play another starting equally The referee or umpire interprets the rules It is taken for granted that the rules are known to both teams when the arrangements to play axe made It is also understood that the official knows the rules and that once the game starts there is nothing that can be done about it He is in complete charge of the game and the players conduct- Why should senior athletes adults playing before thousands of spectators be tolerated in our sports when they and attempt to slow up their opponents by way of rough play Why should professional hockey players be allowed to beat one another with their sticks when no two or more civilians could get away with it Why should spectators be allowed to throw pop bottles and other junk at players or officials at athletic events and not be arrested for disturbing the peace They couldnt do it otherwhere Why should any adult be asked to put up with the verbal and physical abuse that they are constantly being subjected to while they

ml Easter is near at hand The robins are already singing again in our midst The raucous call of the crow is again sounding over the fields from the top of yonder pine tree Soon the evi dence of new

Heavens glory that He might come down to this scene of sin and woe He came to die for you and for me Many have called this the slaughter house type of reli gion but believe me for I speak the truth Christ Jesus came in to the world to save sinners and He accomplished that salvation by dying on Calvarys tree The Blood of Jesus Christ Gods Son cleanseth us from all sin Life for you and for me

team Anywhere else that kind of behavior wouldnt be tolerated for a minute If any civilian behaved that way in a public place or even privately he would be arrested If athletics have anything to contribute to good citizenship certainly it is in connection with individual emotional control Athletes adults who demonstrate a lack of that control should be excluded from the sport if necessary permanently Athletics have been used to train rising generations in the tasks and ways of life since the beginning of time Those persons in control of sports now are well within their rights as responsible citizens in the community or society to insist on a high level of behavior from athletes If athletes dont choose to behave that way exclude them altogether When elementary and secondary school athletes show the same kind of behavior as their adult athletic heroes in spite of vigorous coaching to the contrary the thing has gone far enough No educa tional institution has any right to promote some phase of program that leads to undesirable behavior and attitudes It follows then that students who undertake to imitate their betters should be excluded from sports Such institutions should control the sports Publicity glamor gate receipts championships should all be for feited before unsportsmanlike behavior is tolerated something isnt done and right soon we will have two or three generations of adults in our society who are mean cruel and unsporting players A great many young people think it is the thing to do They dont hesitate to tell you so They resent being checked or penalized for it They argue and doubt the fairmindedness of the official They have little or no respect for the opponent Coaches are not blameless in this connection They often havent read the rules are unaware of current changes But the one rule that dominates every rule book is good sportsmanship Officials leave themselves open to criticism often because they are not thoroughly familiar with the rules or because they want to get the job again or because they want to be thought a good fellow or because they allow themselves to take a job under restrictions placed upon them by the clubs employing them But probably the person most at fault is the spectator the spectator who howls for a fight between the players for the shedding of blood The alltime low is present day wrestling where the promoters of wrestling have stooped to conquer not glory nor the prize nor the wreath but the gate receipts It is amazing to think of so many educated civilized ordinarily wellbehaved citi zens of our big cities going to hockey games to see these fights without rules And when you think of managers of hockey clubs some of them especially prominent people going about punching one another on the nose wonder can only be exceeded by disgust This is being written on December the seventh a day forever famous now as that on which one nation struck at another from behind without warning We all resent that sort of thing to no end And yet we tolerate the same sort of thing In our athletics that we watch or coach or support every day We encourage It too often And whats to do about it Insofar as it comes within our power we can insist that our players be sportsmen or else they dont play Insofar as we can help to train officials for each sport and support them to the limit in their interpretation of the rules even if they make mistakes Insofar as it comes within our power to boycott professional and amateur leagues which permit crude unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of the players trainers own ers and managers especially managers Insofar as it comes within the limited range of each persons influence to support praise and reward the honest fair considerate sportsmanlike players It may take a little or even a lot of visceral dynamics to stand up before these professional promoters who are exploiting for money the fine athletic ability of young men and women But someone has to stand and damn them for what they are and are not Who Is better able to do it than the physical educators Every person interested in the physical wellbeing and the develop ment of true citizens for this our homeland is morally bound to support us A dirty player stands a good chance of becoming or being a dirty citizen here for a little while Let us linger at Calvary and with mil lions of others down through the ages gaze once more on The Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world a sacri fice for sin This is a place of pain where the Savior of the world suffered the Just for the unjust This is a place of pondering for the record tells us that sat down and watched Him there This is a place of provision where the sins of a cruel world were heaped on the Savior who bore them all away and opened up the path into the very pres ence of God for us This is a place of peace for where God met sinful man and programmed a way of deliver ance from all his transgressions
