However, few of us ex- pected very much, and 50 didn't, receive any great nervous shock; and ail the officiais, at least, had a nice summe-cr outîng at a ver-y littie persoual outiay, and should have mauy interesting tales to enter+ain friends with during thie long, cold wiuter nights, AnC that's some- thing; for so long as the coaches, committee-men and assorted badg- ers are satisfied, whc cares about the athietes, or how they fared?

"Cheer Uip, buddy," said somebody, siapping hlm on th.e shouider. "Even if you didn't get the decision, you fought a good gamie fight." "Listen, mistet," was the earnest reply, "im just about sick of being told what a good gaine loser I arn; I'd like toý find out what it was like to be a good gaine winner, just for a change."
