BETTING ON AMATEUR GAMES
Last night’s basketball game between the Seward
High school and the Signal Corps teams is a fair example
of what results when large wagers are made on teams
composed of amateur players. Much ill feeling is created
regardless of which team wins. The thoughts of a large
amount of money on the game weigh too heavily on the
young and somewhat inexperienced players and a poorer
game results than if the game were for sport’s sake alone.
With so much wagered on a game ,the players are
apt to play to win at any cost, often committing unneces
sary and intentional fouls. In last night’s battle, three
players were put out of the game for committing the
maximum number of personal fouls allowed. In games
on which the “root of all evil” has not this bearing, sel
dom more than one player has to be removed from play.
Huge wagers are not at all necessary to show sup
port of a person’s favorite team. Rooting and sports
manship from the sidelines is worth much more. If one
must bet on amateur games, confine it to something of
small monetary value, as a cigar, a dish of ice cream or a
drink (soft). Anyone can be a good winner, but to be a
good loser, one must be a real sport.
