KE|LLOR HAS
 NEW SPORTS
Y. M. c. A. Will Add to List of Athletic Activi- ties; Running, Soccer, Football and Volley Ball Tournament

Boys Secretary Peter keillor of the Y. NJ. c. A has evolved several new stunts for his charges. The other departments have taken the hint and instituted three additional sports for the business mems classes and those of the juniors and interme- diates.
 Henceforth the Harriers' club will take an important place in the econ omy of men building. The object of the association is to foster that good old sport, foot racing. As many men as will enter the club can be accom- modated, for the limit is only the big outdoors. The present plan is to have a run every morning at six o'clock starting next Wednesday. While this hour seems somewhat t early for most, MT Keillor assures the prospective members that no oth- CT time of day is quite so well fitted to bring all the good results out of running. AS an exercise running he says is not we'll enough regarded by modern people. The olden times folk were enthusiastic racers. witness the Athenians, from whom modern Mara thon racing came. Every run will be followed by a half hour in the swim ming pool.
 Another new department just be- ing opened is that of Volley ball tour naments. This game is the regular exercise sport of the business mems class and it's popularity has so grown as to justify it's institution as a feature Five men compose a team so about five teams can be picked from the association members, who are familiar with the game
 The game is d simple one but the interest it brings out is intense, often leading to hOtly contested points as the score mounts toward the winning mark
 Bisbee Y. NJ. C. A. has d team of volley ball players whose pride has grown beyond all bounds They are anxious for a test of skill with a Phoenix team as material for games has been all used up in the copper town Acting Secretary Fitzgerald. who has had charge of the mems teams will direct the training of set of players who will likely meet the team from Bisbee in a tourna- ment soon.
 -AIIO HUN oOlIItllllIlS dDOuI lilp new boys director. MT. Keillor He is originally from Scotland. where ath- letics receive a good measure of at tention. He has many stories of feats of strength and skill by the sport loving English and Scotch con tenders. On one occasion when Eng lang and Scotland were fighting it out for the championship of d soc cer league. 13000O people saw the last game, That number overtops the worlds series attendance some- what and it shows how intense is the feeling and how keen the athletic rivalry is in the islands
 MT Keillor can not say enough about the game of soccer as an out door sport and for developing speed. strength and skill All the larger colleges have included soccer in the curricula of sports. California schools, taking the cue from Canadians play it very enthusiastically teams as well as schools. As soon as pOssi- ble it will be put up to Y. NJ. c. A. athletes whether soccer shall become q part of the work MT. keillOr thinks they will take it up right away. He will be glad to start in struction in the Canadian rules of the new game as soon as team of eleven men is selected
 The exercises are all followed by half hour in the swimming pool and this fact gave the director another idea. From now on there will be life saving exercises in the tank in which all the bathers will be asked to par ticipate. As nothing is more sensi- ble for a bather than intelligent in terest in the vital question of life saving, it is certain a tremendous in- terest will be taken in the work
