LAst-minute touchdowns in football games this year should prove
to students the value of last-minute studying. Though all the grades
haven’t been tabulated, early reports turned in to the Registrar’s Of
fice indicate that a large number of students are not passing the work
required in their courses. During the football season most professors
make allowances for corps trips and week-end games that detract the
atudents' attention from their studies; but until January SO. no such
excuses will be accepted for unprepared assignments.

to emerge victorious from every engagement. It is’ impossible fot
both teams to win a game and those who supported the losing team
have not been hesitant in vindicating any pvrsoti or thing that happen*
to be within reach. As for searching out the real cause of failure,
little thought has been applied in that direction.
■ At 1 ’ ' ^ ^ - A !•
Those who play the game with their moi/ths have succeeded in blam- <
ing coaches and players alike without stopping long enough to analyse
the situation a* it really exists. After all, is a victory the only thing
that counts? It is great, all right enuogh. but is it the only thing
that is really worth while? If that were the rase, t|M first tendencies
would be towards poor sportsmanship since winning, at my cost, would
be the goal. However, we must stop to realize that, in the cast of
football and other athletic teams, the team that has tb< best material,
the least number of injuries, and the best coach is fav ired to win for
these reasons. Not any one of these things would be enough in itself
to ranee a victory or defeat. Like a machine, a football team must be
built of good parts and then carefully cared for if the maximum ef
ficiency is expected. A team may meet these requirements and still fail
to turn in victories. Why? Because of breaks, perhaps, but moi*
often than not because the opposing team operates more smoothly and
capably. ' J »
An outstanding illustration of the wishy-washinrs* of speculators
and supporters came to light as a result of the Baylor-S M U tilt in
Dallas this year. Rumors, from fairly reliable sources, have it that
Baylor backers were determiaed to oust Morley Jennings as the Bear
coach if Baylor lost the game. Fortanately, for t'oach Jennings, Baylor
won the game in the last few seconds of play. That night the Bear
mentor was royally entertainod and praised at a banquet in his honor;
all thoughts of criticism wore forgotten with the sweet tastes of
victory. Is it sportsmanlike to always demand a.wftuier? Aren’t we
big enough and open-minded enough to appreciate a well fought and
fairly played gamef Shouldn’t we recognize real prowess where it
-exists and give the opposing team, when vietbrious, credit for playing
hard and fast? When beaten, let’s admit to ourselves and those around
us that there eras a better team than our own. Believe it or not, most
contests are not lost because of the inefficiency of one team but be
cause of the super-efficiency of the winning team.
