"Was it exciting?" asked Duane, secretly eaten up with pride over her achievements and sportsmanship. "No, not very." She went on with her bon-bon, then glanced up at her brother, askance, like a bad child afraid of being reported. "Old Miller is so fussy," she said "the old, spoilt tyrant! He is really very absurd sometimes." "Oho!" said Scott suspiciously, "so Miller is coming to me again!"
Now, any enterprise in sportsmanship is bent on an invidious success, which must involve as its major purpose the defeat and humiliation of some competitor, whatever else may be comprised in its aim.
"The real test of sportsmanship!" scoffed the Captain. "I should say we were some fine sports, getting up at half past three the morning after a canoe trip and going out to crew practice!" "And me getting into a wet bathing suit!" mourned Hinpoha. "I think I ought to have a Carnegie medal for that."

"The sportsmanship and friendly rivalry which the Army and Navy game brings out in both branches of the Service is admirable and unique and reaches all officers on the day of the game wherever in the world they are. Real preparedness is an old axiom at West Point and it has been applied to football.
Walters handed each of them a personal message of good wishes from the Solar Council, and then, over the public-address system, made a short speech to the pilots of the losing ships thanking them for their co-operation and good sportsmanship.
