Fellows who worked that Itorgei- Xmarlllo game will come In for
no criticism here. I Iu; I no part in the selection of the officials
and mi matter how much I mitrht heller my henil off or other-
wise rant anil rave, the coaches will go right ahead and make
their own selections next ear It's none of my business who the
coaches select or whether they later regret their selections.
I do feel, however, that every person on boi'i sides of the fence
ought to gi 1 a copy of the tool ball code which has been devised by the
wl . men of the spoi l and apemd a quiet hour or so reading it over and
oVer. The football code Is not a part of the rule book. You'll find It
a simple declaration of the kind of sporUmanahlp the grand, old game
is based 011. The football code, like Old-Tim Religion, is good for
everybody, pi ay < ra, coaches, officials and fans alike.
When all the shouting mill tumult has died down and
wounded pride has been healed by the salve of time, the Ikirger-
\mnrillo game will stand as a great contest, a tribute to a band
of scrapping Holhlogs who would not cotícele a physically sh-
|M*rior foe one Inch, and a tribute to a guMuni crew of Handles
who shook oh the effects of tin- Ilorger'N unexpected display of
irienlncss just long enough to pull the gunte oul of the fire.
Does all of tills exchange of bitter words mean that the actual
winning or losing of that game wits thai important? If it does, then
we'd better call the whole thing off and go hack to tiddly-winks, a
game which seldom arouses folks to the rxtein they want to bash in
each other's beads
