_ B2-Sunday News, October 5, 1980 viting won’t work We all have days when nothing goes right. When everything we touch either breaks, collapses or bends in the wrong place. When it happens, there’s usually nothing to do but tough it out knowing that the sun will still rise the next morning, and subliminally hoping that something good will come out of it all. Many years ago, especially in gym lockers and phys. ed. offices, schools seemed to anticipate such problems by posting little inspirational signs all over the walls. Signs such as “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”; “Many hands make light work”, “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” Those things always seemed so hokey, so trite, yet... Last Sunday,-in a GSL game, a team of youngsters Bad start for B Capilano College Blues Soccer team dropped a 3-0 decision to Okanagan College Lakers on Saturday. then played the Lakers to a 0-0 tie on Sunday in Totem Conference league action in Kelowna. The results leave the Lakers in a first place tie with Kamloops Cariboo College Chiefs, both teams sporting 4-0 records. The Blues are off to their worst start in years, with a O- 2-2 count. The North Shore side has next weekend off to prepare for a double header against the Chiefs in Kamloops on the Thanksgiving weedend. In rugby., meanwhile, B.C.1.T. Cougars opened their season by thrashing Vancouver Commuaity was being soundly beaten when their coach decided the game should end so he pulled hhis team off the field and quit. Perhaps the coaches can rationalize their reasoning and explain away their actions but I would be hard put to have any son of mine play on a team that quits when things don't go the winning way. If that attitude becomes prevalent then we will soon have a nation of quitters. Because, let’s face it, we are not always finishing number College Falcons 26-0, while Okanagan College beat Cariboo College 14-10. Cap College’s Blues were idle on the weekend, but will open their season this Saturday and Sunday with a Badminton seeks new If you enjoy badminton, then you might enjoy the North Shore Badminton Club. Att least that's the word from officials of the local club who are currently on a membership drive on the North Shore. The club is_ especially one. For there’s a heck of a lot of losers. But really, the only time you really lose is when you quit. I hope the kids who were, pulled off the field were not happy with what happened. I hope they had enough pride to feel humiliated and angry at the action of the coaches. I hope the league feels the same way and takes some kind of action. - Sport, especially at the amateur level should, to use one of those “hokey” phrases, “build character.” But it’s tough to build much character when you quit. There are many people ‘ who have gone through life playing for losing teams. And you know, many of them were able to learn some pretty, invaluable lessons.
