Thursday, March 13, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA PAGE THREE WHAT OTHERS THINK To the Daily Iowan: An article on "Poor Sportsmanship" appeared in Sunday morning's Iowan. That article was written by one of the leading athletes in the university, and shows the attitude of our athletic teams toward the spirit that has been shown at some of our recent basketball games. The University of Iowa has always prided itself on its good sportsmanship. But before we talk too much about our good sportsmanship, we will have to watch our actions a little more carefully in that respect. During the four years that I have been at the university, on several occasion it has happened that a referee has had to stop a game until the groans and hisses of the crowed died down enough to make it possible to continue. This practice is becoming more noticeable, and it is winning for us a reputation for any thing but good sportsmanship among the other universities of the conference. Our athletes say that they always meet with courteous treatment at the different schools to which they go. Surely these schools have a right to expect the same sort of treatment from us. In the speed and excitement of a basketball games it is not always easy to confine our remarks within the bounds of strict politeness, when we see a decision which seems to us unjust. But we owe it to our own team as well as to our visitors to treat both players and officials with at least a decent amount of respect. And everyone knows that it takes a whole lot more sportsmanship to make a good loser that it takes to make a good winner. Probably in the majority of cases the trouble is due to thoughtlessness rather than to any unfriendly feeling. It is even possible that some people think that to show disrespect for the opposing team, and disapproval of the adverse decisions of the referee, shows advertisement TEACHERS WANTED For all departments of school work.
