Aiken Stresses
Importance Of
Athletic Teams
Talks And Music Given
At Banquet Staged
Bv Lions Club
After hearing and viewing the
antics of two special tailtwisters and
exchanges of verbal bouquets by
coaches and players at the annual
banquet given by the Nyssa Lions
club for the high school athletic
lettermen Tuesday night, the men
and youths turned to consideration
of tlie serious problem of developing
character, which was discussed by
Jim Aiken, head football coach of
the University of Oregon.
Speaking in the home economics
room of the high school, Coach
Aiken said "Y ou have a fine spirit
here. A good team lequires a lot of
hard work by a good many people.
Coaches have precarious jobs; some
times their success depends on sit
uations” .
Aiken, who has coached five un
defeated teams in 30 years of coach
ing in high school and college, told
about the qualities in boys that
coaches like.
4 ,
"T h e most Important is that a
boy is a fighter; one who can get
through when the going is tough” ,
Aiken said. "Another quality Is that
a boy mus' have backbone, will
power and training. I want a fellow
who has the backbone to do without
smoki.ig and drinking. I have no
rule against smoking, but I reserve
the right to drop a smoker from my
team.
"One of the most important
things is the spirit.
I've never
known of a good team that did not
have the right spirit. You show a
good spirit in Nyssa, you like each
other. You should think that way
about your community and your
state, because we have a great
country.
“ I t is nice to win, but our boys
are taught how to lose and be grace
ful in defeat. The big lesson taught
Is to never quit. In athletics in this
oountry the boys learn to make de
cisions. They may not always be
right, but they are theirs".
Citing an Incident about a wo
man telling the wife of the famous
coach, “ Pop” Warner, that grass
would never grow in her front yard
as long as she allowed boys to play
in the yard so much, Aiken said Mrs.
Warner replied " I am not trying to
raise grass; I am trying to rear
boys".
"W e should have a vision for
helping the other fellow", said the
coach, who filled his talk with hum-
orus incidents occurring during his
