running, boxing, swimming, etc. We feel that if our methods have
resulted in facilities having been afforded for all our men to play
games and take part in every form of athletics, and if our methods
have enabled some of our most proficient to rise to International
standard, then we have not worked in vain.
Our definition of a Sportsman is one who—
(i) Plays the Game
for the game's sake.
(2)
Plays for his ,Side
and not for himself.
(3) Is a good winner and a good loser, i.e., modest in victory
and generous in defeat:
(4) Accepts all decisions in a proper spirit.
(5) Is chivalrous towards a defeated opponent.
(6) Is unselfish and always ready to help others to become
proficient.
Service games and sports are modelled on the above. If we keep
those six points always before us we shall not go far wrong.
