Place Your Orders for Seed Now
By Rory O’Moore
Weird the flamea that rise fantastic
And my fancy, ever plastic.
Leaps and thrills with every brilliant, fitful start;
Pleasant dreams, long dead, reviving,
Or new dreams of joy contriving,
Till I feel the old scenes tugging at my heart.

Again I see the dusk descending
As the summer moon transcending.
O’er the hill, reflects its beauty in the stream.
We explored that stream together
And there still remains a tether
Binding ju3t us three together in my dream.

Fi. E. JOHNSON
“ WHAT IS TRUE SPORTSM ANSHIP?"
The high schools of Coos county are in the midst of the athletic season, and
it is a very opportune time for the students of these schools to consider the ques
tion, “ What is True Sportsmanship?” As far as the players are concerned we
believe that the members of the several teams have become far removed from
the old plane, upon which the slogan to "Win by fair means if you can, and by
foul means if you must,” was blazoned in large and glaring letters.
Whether the spectators who watch the games, and the rooters who endeav
or to add “ pep to the game with their concerted cheering, have advanced as
rapidly in the matter of sportsmanship as the players themselves, is very doubt
ful. Anyone who attended the game on January 12 at Bandon and the one here
Friday night must have felt that there was lacking the true spirit of sportsman
ship among the members of these two schools.
The true sportsman wants to participate in, or witness, a contest in which
skill, ability and fair (day, alone, pick the winners. In the Interests of fair play
there are certain courtesies that the spectator owes the player. For the onlook
er, who is supposed to be entirely outside the game, to unfairly and purposely
become a factor which nmy he responsible for victory going to the team which
would otherwise have been defeated, is about as unsportsmanlike action as could
be taken.
When the rules of basket hall say that a foul on one team shall give the
other team a free try for a basket from the foul line, it means that the player
trying for the basket is entitled to he free from interference. To try to rattle
the player, from the sidelines, and thereby spoil his aim, is an attempt to break
this rule and is decidedly unsportsmanlike. Many other similar cases might be
mentioned.
It is doubtful if the boys and girls of these schools have ever given this
matter serious thought; but it is time that they should. Player» are quick to
appreciate the attitude of the spectator, when the attitude is that of the true
