SPORTSMANSHIP What is sportsmanship may well be asked of the two recent basketball games played between Beaver and Milford high schools. The antagnostic spirit displayed by both schools is evidence evi-dence of a great lack of true sportsmanship. The merits of the grievances on either side does not lessen the fact that such occurrences oc-currences are most regrettable and should be curbed in our schools. The definition of a good sportsman is one who in sports is fair and generous; one who has recourse to nothing illegitimate; illegiti-mate; a good loser and a graceful winner. Athletics in public schools are for the purpose of fostering and instucting good sportsmanship in the youths. When the schools fail in this, such athletics should be eliminated. . . r
