Fair Play

Play fair yourself and insist on fair play in others.

If you see a big bully going for a small or weak boy, you stop him because it is not "fair play". If a prize fighter, in fighting another, knocks him down, he must not hit him while he is down.

The point is that "fair play" is an old idea of chivalry that has come down to us from the knights of old, and we must always keep up that idea.
