1t must be understood that in addi-

included in his winning the. Penta-

proficient in such sports as throwing
the hammer. swimming skating
walking, rowing and possibly dozen
of minor athletic activities. a
In addition, he is specialist, and
probably the greatest in the world, at

Thorpe pitches at baseball, plays
any base, or occupies the field with
equal distinction. At basketball he
is little short of a marvel playing any
position. Included among the other
sports which he has mastered are Ia
crosse, tennis, hockey, handball, in
door baseball, indoor gymnastics and
medicine ball. Croquet, cricket and
golf are about the only sports Thorpe
has left alone. He is enthusiastic
over horseback riding and hunting,
being dead shot with rifle or shot
gun. ~
q His easy method of approaching all
of his athletic tasks has been the sub
iect of much comment. The country
win have an opportunity this year OF
seeing Thorpe playing, football as
Cariisle's captain. He can stand more
physical punishment at the great col

ever played at Carlisle.
President Noble, of Dickinson Col

city of Carlisle unite with the Indian

Our System Best.
He stands today pre-eminently as
a refutation to the allegation on the
part of critics all over the world that
the American plan of developing ath-
ietic smarVels is accomplished by spe-
cialization carried to unreasonable. ex-
tremes. It is conceded by his close
followers that he is a. man. of enor-
nous strength, not so much because
of his size-he weighs about 1S5-but
because of his ability to concentrate
his strength to the channels most
needed.
Thorpe was found to be normal
when he went to Carlisle as a lad On
entering the school he was ) feet 5ls
inches tall. and weighed lis pounds.
AS bearing on his physical develop
ment, figures at hand now show thai
in 1908 he had jumped UP to 5 feet
Tx inches, and his chest measure
ments at inspiration and expiration,
respectively were IL and So inches.
He then weighed 1S1 pounds.
Three yeas afterward, or on Sep
TENDER IT, oil, he was 6 feet 112
inches tall, weighed 1885, and inspira-
ton and expiration measurements
were. 42h and 35R inches. Smooth.
even development, without knots or
bumps, has marked the Sac and Fox
Indians progress all along.
To be sure Thorpe has had the
training at school for the last two
years at the hands of Glenn S. War
ner, and he has done nearly all his
work in the Cumberland Valley,
which is recognized by some as Civ
ing the best athletic, environment to
he found in America, but in the build
ing up of his marvellous youth resort
has not been had to unusual methods.
Warner has never stultified himself
or his pupils by extreme treatment
Thorpe has lived plainly, and while
he has! conformed to Warmers gen.
eral instructions as to his manner OF
living, he has not been made an ex
CeptiCnIat the Carlisle School by spe-
cial treatment or privileges.
