Advice to BOYS and Girls.

Save your pennies and send them
to the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
That Bank receives either pennies,
dimes or dollars.
Why?
Because ii wishes to encourage the
children to be frugal and TO have q
little bank account OF their own,
even though the initial deposit is the
smallest possible sum.
Children who commence an ac-
count on a penny, a nickel, or a
dime, often grow into capitalists lat
er on.
The way to become a capitalist is
to comemnce now TO save the pen
mics.

Death Of George Riley

George Thomas Riley, whose death
occurred Wednesday, July 81, after
a short illness, was a young man of
good character, whose short life had
already given promise of a noble
and efficient manhood. He was a
native of this town, born In Lyndon

and Mary (Rock) Riley. He at

Is Majority Of High School
Coaching Harmful to Athletes?

and intensity that the city boy
does. Look at the star of the aver
lage city school for instance. He is
generally a member of the foot
ball and basket ball teams during
the fall term. The next term he
goes out for track and baseball and
devotes his spare time to swim
ming and tennis. 1t is no wonder
that a boy who has trained for
these varied sports with the vigor
and intensity that the average
member of a big city high school
team does is about done up when
he. reaches the university. AS a
general rule the prep school star
does not live up to his reputation
after he comes to college.
Training is a dangerous thing
in the hands of a novice. The
greatest fault with the average
high school athlete is the fact that
he let's down too soon in his ex-
ercise after he has completed his
regular training for the season.
When an athlete is in training his
heart is larger than at time he Is
not undergoing strenuous physical
exercise and If he does not taper
off in his exercise at the end of
the training season he is apt to
do himself physical injury.
I'm the matter of eating, too,
the average high school athlete
does himself a great harm. Most
high school athletes are on a pre-
lscribed diet during the training
season. Suppose a boy has been
on strict diet for a period of a
month or more and then at the
banquet following the last game
of the season gorges himself with
all manner of rich food. And that
is not the worst of it. He must
needs eat everything of a rich ma
ture that he car within as short a
time as he can after the season
/ is over to make up, as he says
for what he missed during the
] time that he was in training."

His Tigers May Turn Out
To Be White Elephants

The following is from the San

How would you like to get a

Ient from your boss2
That's what A. E. Rothermel got
from George Schroeder, veteran
baseball manager.
The answer-Shreeder present
ed the Tacoma baseball team,
known as the Tigers. to Rother-
mel, his secretary.
The only question now, Rother-
mers friends say, is whether the
Tigers won't turn out to be white
elephants.
That's poor natural history, they
admit, but pretty good figuring.
For Shredder has been putting
money into the team a lot faster
than he gets it out for several
years.
1t looked fine last season for a
while. Then the Tigers were close
to the top, and Shredder was sell
ing a lot of his stars to the big
leagues for fall delivery.
Then the Tigers took an awful
slump, and after that there was
nothing coming in but bills.
Shredder is said to have dropped
Ia chunk.
At the end of the season
Shredder tried to sell. There were
several nibbles, but no bites.
Finally, in disgust, he called
Rothermel in.
"You can have the darned
team" he said.

secretary.

BERKELEY, Cal, Jan. 81
Country boys, as a rule, make
better members of college athletic
teams than do their city I, raised
brothers," says Walter Christie,
the track and field coach at the
University of California. u would
rather work with a boy who has
just come to the university from
one of the country schools than
with the prep school star from the
high school of the big city. You
can teach the country boy because
he is willing to learn and%willing
to admit that he does n6fkknow
all that there is to know alspnt the
matter of training. All
ct is sometimes a difficaH mat
ter to teach the boy who has been
the star of high school teen4 that
has won honors in some o9ths big
meets. He generally knows more,
or thinks he know more, uhan the
coach who is trying to. 4nstruct
him, and 1t is hard to secure good
results. Most of the murders who
come to college from schools where
the paid athletic coach system is
in vogue, have developed faulty
style, and it takes a long time for
them to forget their old form and
get on to the better way Of hurd-
ling after they have become mem
bers of track squads at the univer-
stiles. The city high school cannot
afford to pay enough to secure the
best kind of g. coach, and the coach
ing that is done in most of the
schools is more of detriment
than help.
