A Ii schoolboys are more or less
~ interested in athletics, either
"a on the gridiron, baseball dia-
mond or the cinder path, and nearly.
all of them have ambition to excel in
some form of the manly sport.
1t is chiefly to boys that l address
these hints on training, which are the
result of my own personal experience
during my athletic career, which began
during my schoolboy days. For this
ambition few know outside the trained
and successful athlete the hardships,
self-denial and hard work to be en-
countered before one can literally come
to the front in athletic sports, partic-
ularly in sprinting.
No hard and fast rules can be laid
down for building up the body and
training it for athletics, as no two con-
stitutions or bodies are alike. each in
dividual requiring different treatment.
Each must exercise and train, to suit
his own physical requirements and
capabilities.
Strict Training Rules Necessary.
First. elementary training must be
commenced long before the more Wig
orous course required to prepare ones
self for public performance or cham
pionship form.
To the beginner in sprint running.
1 would say that the rules must be
followed and regular life led. Rise
early, take a cold or tepid bath and a
hard rub down. Eat plain and whole
some food. Never overexert yourself.
and with the foregoing rules and early

liminary to a regular course of train

Suddenly he heard rustling OF

sharp teeth and claws were tearing his

screams echoed UP the ravine.
The two soldiers dashed into tha
