Sports should help a man to learn fairness, not only in games but also in and for life. If two teams play   31   game, one team must lose. If a dozen teams attend an athletic competition,   32   team will get the most points and all the   33   eleven teams will get   34   points. If a school team comes out last, that is no loss of face.   35   that team and that school must do is admit that it   36   (lose). The only intelligent reaction   37   defeat must be: next year we will do our best to come out on top, because from now on our team will devote   38   to a stricter course of training under competent instructors.

Lessons   39   (learn) in sports can help us in our dealing with other people. But even more   40   (value) are the lessons learned in extra-curricular activities in school: in speech, dramatic and musical contests, in “house” activities, and, especially, in the student council.
