This, basically, is the theme of interscholastic athletics...the idea of friendly competition. The visiting team today, and in every interscholastic game, is a guest of the home team. They are expected to be so regarded and so treated. The officials are persons who, by agreement between the competing teams, are assigned to administer the rules of the game. Their experience and their integrity qualify them for their part in this friendly interscholastic contest. This attitude of sportsmanship must be reflected by all spectators, too, no matter what their personal feelings of loyalty may be to one or the other of the teams in today s contest. INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS ARE FOR SPORTSPERSONS BOTH ON THE FIELD AND IN THE STANDS -8-
