dad" MouIton's Training Rules

Dad" Moulton has certain fixed ideas
concerning the conditioning of ath-
letes. He believes in 'suiting rules to
the individual. and beyond fixing the
hour for retiring and laying down GER
tain basic laws of diet and exercise is
not given to drawing up lengthy lists
of training rules" But after 40 years
experience as a trainer of athletes he
has found that the following list of
principles. if they are properly fol-
lowed, are pretty apt to put an athlete
into condition:
1. Rise at or 1880 and take little
bedroom exercise.
,. Breakfast on fresh fruit, toast,
beef and milk. Other meals as we'll
should consist Of plenty of well cooked
food. Simple deserts, such as tapioca
pudding and apple sauce, are prefer
able to pastry and fancy dishes. Never
drink more than one cup of coffee a
day, and use tea and milk in modera-
ton.
3. Do light jogging and sprinting in
the morning when possible.
4. Avoid liquor and tobacco abso-
lutely.
5. Retire about 1890 or II. Never let
social affairs interfere with this when
actual training is being done.
s. Train only for the event for which
nature has fitted you.

heap of twisted Orders and sandstone.
1t Is all that remains of the splendid
gymnasium, reminder OF the days of
1906. The gymnasium was barely COM
pleted and had never been occupied,
when the earth shook and brought the
proud pile crashing into ruins. Stan
ford suffered far greater losses than
this. Most of the destruction, however,
has been effaced. But up to the present
no attempt has been made to restore
the ruined gym.
In spite of the destruction of her
gymnasium, however, Stanford has at
the present time probably the most
complete athletic facilities In the west.
In the first place, Lagunita, on the
campus itself. offers a preliminary
training ground for the varsity crew.
It is highly popular place for canoe
ing, rowing and swimming as we'll, and
a great interclass regatta is held every
spring on its waters.
There are four baseball fields-the
old diamond behind Encina hall, the
mems dormitory; the practice diamond
next to the baseball field; the faculty
diamond, where students and professors
mix 1t daily in the good old American
game, and the fine new turf diamond
of Stanford field itself, where the in
tercollegiate games are played.
Tennis is in favor. Besides the old
courts in front of Encina hall three
new ones have been constructed Roble

always goes off ahead of time. Now

Tennis has recently been made a full
intercollegiate sport at Stanford, rank
ing with football, baseball and track.
The quarter mile cinder track is the
finest west of Chicago and plans are
being drawn up for a $4,000 dressing
room to be constructed beside 1t. In
addition there is the old track beside
Encina gym, which is in daily use.
Stanford also has lacrosse and soccer
field and splendid outdoor handball and
basket ball courts. And above all rise
the massive bleachers of the Stanford
football field. The arena Is silent at
this time of year, save when a baseball
game is in progress on its green turf.
Rowing received body blow at both
California universities last year, owing
to the fact that the student body funds
were no longer able to meet the ex-
penses of maintaining crews. Boat
houses, shells and all manner of para
phernalia, to say nothing of the salary
of professional trainer, are a heavy
drain on college treasures, and boat
ing, unlike football, brings in no gate
receipts. So now the Stanford crew
turned out of the fold of intercollegiate
athletics, is shifting for itself But the
sport is still very much alive, and 40
candidates at Stanford have been
struggling for positions in two shells
that require less than 20. Rowing is

Z. Pursue absolute regularity in all
things-eating, sleeping, running and
studying.
8. Bend all your energies to what is
before you. and make 1t temporarily
the most important thing in the world.
Such are Dad Moulton's training
rules. He has had marvellous success
with them, and believes absolutely In
their efficacy when conscientiously pur-
sued. For the man who breaks train
ing Dad has only contempt He loses
his place on the team" he says, land
that is the greatest disgrace that can
come TO any college man."
AS the days OF the varsity meet ap-
proach Dad" puts his men on a train
ing table. There is long room in the
'Inn," a yellow frame structure be-
tween the quad and the gym assigned
just for this. And here the track men
meet and cement those friendships that
can never be broken In the passing
years. Dad" realizes the value of COM
radeship in team work and is a great
believer in the training table.
Over on the baseball field behind the
football arena another great squad is
practicing. over so candidates were
out for positions on the varsity nine
this year and Coach Presley, who used
to cover first base for Stanford himself
not so many years ago, has had his
hands full. There is a growing senti-
ment in Stanford that 1T is not only
every able bodied mans right to turn
out for athletics, but that 1t is likewise
his duty. The theory has a pleasing
ring, but it is mighty hard on the
coaches.
Cross country running is an ever pop
ular means of rounding into shape, and
parties of athletes swing daily out of
the campus gates into the long roads
or strike out over fields and fences, hills
and hollows, scaling brush covered
banks and Drawing thorns, reeling off
the miles of mud and dust that lie be-
tween signing up day and condition. A
chance creek that adds the necessity of
swimming to the curriculum is a well
come discovery on such days. The roads
about Stanford are particularly invit-
ing, with long, cool stretches and shady
depths TO entice the jogging, steaming
athletes. A rainy afternoon is highly
popular for this kind of ton and
all afternoon parties have been seen
jogging along the roads and under
reeking trees.

n Asst summer at Chicago the
mightiest athletic teams in the
middle west gathered to contest
for intercollegiate supremacy.
Most OF the teams were near at home
and had any number of athletes to en-
ter in the various events. But one,
wearing white jersies crossed slant
wise by a red band. had travelled near
~ 5000 miles; it consisted only of nine
picked men. and one of these was in
5ured. Until the last crack of the gun
the result of the meet was in doubt,
but human flesh and blood, strive as 1t
would, could not resist the sheer
weight OF numbers, and victory went
10 a nearby university Of over 5000
students. The little visiting squad
however, had defeated all other middle
western universities for second honors
and the country knew then that
Stanford and the far west were factors
in the intercollegiate battle for athletic
supremacy.
How has so small a squad of ath-
letes, picked from a college scarcely
ing half across the continent, far from
its cinder path and training table, and
tumbling out Of a cramped Pullman to
vie with the greatest athletic teams of
half the nation, been able to contend
with them for year after year, neck
and neck?
There are number of answers One
is that real inspiring force called the
stanford spirit" which calls out every
able bodied man to the support OF his
alma mater Another may be the Cali
fornia climate. which permits of train
ing all the year round. Another may
be the loyal support Of the student
body. And one certainly is Dad" Moul-
ton.

The Outdoor Call

Every spring afternoon finds the
Stanford cinder track fairly alive with
athletes in training; 1875 answered the
call for candidates this season. The
captain and veterans Of former years
have their hands full in training this
aggregation. Some are running. some
jumping, some hurdling, some pole
vaulting-and the scene is a veritable
beehive Of Industry. Over all Dad
Moulton, like the brigadier general Of
an army, keeps a watchful eye and
notes the future stars who will grad
ually be developed from the hetero-
geneous crowd.
Stanford in late winter and early
spring is an interesting place. The
whole campus is living out of doors.
Tramping parties, cross country run
ners, canoeing parties. baseball. soccer,
la crosse, tennis. track-alI present a
busy scene. Lagunita, in the fall a
dry hollow in the hills, in the spring
has attained the dignity OF a lake. It
is the training ground Of the varsity
four cared shells and numberless ca
noes dot fits surface. Sketching classes
have taken possession Of the fields and
woods, and even the unpoetic civil en-
gineers are spending hours surveying
the roads, the quad. and whatever else
renders itself useful to rod and transit.
From this outdoor life Stanford is
busily engaged in picking and training
her athletes for the coming intercol-
legiate contests.
Training for track brings out the
greatest number Of athletes of the COL
lege year. An endless chain Of sprint
ers. runners and hurdlers stretches
from the training house under the foot
ball bleachers across the road to the
track, loops the cinder path a half
dozen times and stretches back to the
rub down tables. showers and locker
rooms Of the training house again.
Track season always opens with a
deafening rally IN Encina hall. where
the audience, like the congregation at
a revival meeting. is wrought>up to the
pitch which moves it to sign up for

The start OF the training season is
mildness itself. A little warming up on
the roads, a little stretching Of mus
cles TO Gust the kinks of winter. a rub

done. AS the season advances the road
runs grow longer and such details as
starting at full speed out OF two little

The aim is growing In American
universities to extend the benefits OF
athletic training more and more until
all the students of the institution are
included. Gymnasiums are to a Ger
