most to defeat and you’ll find that “Grant” is a very common
answer.
This issues a challenge not only to our respective teams, but also
to Grant students. Being a winner is not as difficult as beihg a good
winner.
Sportsmanship is a term that irks some people, but it is what
sport is all about.
Winning and being good sports seem to go hand in hand, but in
the past many Grant fans have been far from courteous.
Three seasons ago the people of Roseburg watched us nose
out their football team in the state semi-final, and we were
terrible winners.

Onia Bates attends
Denver track meet
Senior sprinter Onia Bates
was the only Portland high
school student to qualify for the
National Jaycee track meet at
the University of Denver last
month.
Bates qualified to represent
Oregon by winning both the 100
and 220 yard dashes in times of
9.9 and 21.7 seconds in the Jay
cee meet at Wilson.
. After breezing to record times
of 9.5 in the 100 and 21.2 in the
220 earlier this summer, Bates
was a strong contender at Den
ver, but he strained leg muscles
and was forced out of action after
running a 10.1 in the 100 pre
liminary.
