PRESIDENT IS
SPORT CHAMPION
ENCOURAGES THE STRENUOUS
ATHLETE
Roosevelt Says That Roughness Adds
to Value Of Physical Contests.
Strong Men Lead
Nations

The greatest modern champion of ath-
letic sport is President Roosevelt. In
ancient days leaders of men regarded
athletics as absolutely necessary to
nation.
The athletic nations of the world were
the ones that dominated, and the
first to fall away from athletic train
ing were first to fall apart before the
attacks of harder invaders.
The Greeks were the greatest fighters
in the world as long as they compelled
every boy to take a course of athletic
training in warlike exercises.
Later when the Romans overcame the
Greeks it was only by abolishing the
Greek national games that they We're
able to stop instructions and actually
subjugate the people.
The Romans were athletes until
wealth and luxury caused them to do
their athletic stunts by proxy hiring
mercenaries to do their fighting, and
trained gladiators to compete in the
public contests.
Caesar, although a small, light man,
was a trained athlete who never re-
fused any hardship that he expected his
soldiers to endure. On one occasion he
swan a river in full armor to show his
hardihood and fearlessness.
Leaders Strong Men
For many years national leaders have
ignored the value OF general physical
training. II has remained for President
Roosevelt to champion the cause Of
sport, not for the benefit OF those who
can become champions in any capacity,
but for the benefit of the whole peo-
pie.
And the president knows what he is
talking about. He has always been an
athlete himself. He knows that an ath-
letlc training gave him the aggressive
ness and the stamina necessary to the
Strenuous life"
He believes that we should be pow
erful nation of athletes-not a nation
ESQ he puts it, of "mollycoddles"
At Harvard recently the president
made a speech to the students. Presi-
dent Eliot OF Harvard advocates the abb
olition OF all rough, manly games and
the promotion of such light ana lady
like exercises as lawn tennis and cro-
quet.
President Roosevelt. an old Harvard
athlete, publicly and energetically
championed football and other games
requiring courage and endurance. Here
are some OF the things he said:

DOG SHOW OPENS
THIS MORNING
GREAT ENTRY LIST INDICATES
ENTHUSIASM
JUDGES to Commence at 1880 O'Clock
This fternoon-collies Are the
cIasslest Ever Gathered In
Los Angeles

Admirers Of the aristocratic canine
whether they be fanciers and owners or
simply observers, will certainly have
their share of delight during the con-
ing four days, as the Southwestern
Kennel club show doors are to open
at the Panorama skating rink this
morning
BY all odds the greatest and classiest
entry list of thoroughbred dogs ever
gathered in Southern California will be
upon exhibition in the spacious quar-
ters prepared for them. Kennel clup
officials were working with vengeance
last night, completing details in con-
nection with the show.
prize list far in excess Of that OF
fered previously has melted an unpar-
alleled competitive spirit and owners
have entered into the affair with zest
which bodies we'll for dog week success.
A remark dropped by one of the Ell
lery brothers last night instances the
merit which bids fair to hover about the
exhibition. Ellery brothers have brought
handsome consignment of collies from
San Francisco which are bound to
prove features Of the show.
"I had thought not to exhibit my dogs
again, said Mr. Ellery, 'DuC lHe leNei
won't die and 1 had to come. Then
again, there have been so many exhibi-
tions of so-called collies that an effort
should be made to establish further
breeding of the genuine article.
Among the Ellery exhibit will be
Xantippe of Motion, a remarkably
handsome animal which has never be-
fore been shown in America. Anfield
Model, Valverde Alexander, Valverde
Veto and Southport Philosopher are
others from the same kennels.
Judge James Mortimer, regarded as
the greatest of canine experts, will
award prizes, and those in competition
need have no fear that merits of their
pets will be overlooked. Judge Morti-
mer has been connected with the New
York dog shows over twenty years and
has visited Judgment upon practically
every noted canine in America.
Judging will commence at 1870 o'clock
this afternoon and all classes on the
program TO eollies are on for inspection.
Collies will be judged commencing at
10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. Bos-
ton terriers are to receive official atten-
ton tomorrow afternoon, while special
awards will be made Friday afternoon.
Owing to washouts, several eastern
representations may not arrive but 334
exhibits are ready for the benches.

Will fight valiantly alike against the

Athletics are good. especially in their
rougher form, because they tend to de-

because they encourage a true demo-
cratic spirit, for In the athletic field q
man must be judged not with reference
to outside and accidental attributes, but
by that combination of bodily vigor
and moral quality which go to make UP
prowess.

who take the trouble to do the work of
governments and if you are too timid
or too fastidious or too careless to do

of them good.
"Moveover, 1t is to by mind simple
nonsense, a mere confession of weak
ness. to desire to abolish a game be-
cause tendencies show themselves, or
practices grow up which prove that the
game ought to be reformed. Take foot
ball for instance.
THE preparatory schools are able to
keep football clean and to develop the
right spirit In the players without the
slightest necessity ever arising to so
much as consider the question of abol-
ishing 1t. There Is no excuse whatever
for colleges failing to show the same
capacity, and there is no real need for
considering the question of the aboli-
ton of the game.
IF necessary, let the college authori-
ties interfere to stop any excess or per-
version, making their interference as
little off1cious as possible, and yet as
rigorous as is necessary to achieve the
end.
But there is no justification for stop
ping a thoroughly manly sport because
1t is sometimes abused, when the expe-
rience of every good preparatory school
shows that the abuse is in no shape
necessarily attendant upon the game"
