Y. M. c. A. ATHLETICS.

There are two principles upon
which the Young Mems Christian
association seeks to place their ath
letic activities. They are in brief:
/. Athletics for all who are fit and
not for athletes alone. ?. A medical
examination to determine the fitness
of those who desire to participate.
Athletics are Of recognized value
in fitting boys and girls for their life
work. If our athletics are conducted
on a plan by which only ten or twelve
boys out of a possible hundred are
trained, then we are meeting only a
part of the need, This is still more
true if the ten or twelve are already
the best developed boys in the school.
This article is not intended as a
criticism. but to point out the fact
that there is large field of physical
culture not now being touched This
field the association proposes to en-
ter.
To be more specific, in most of the
contests which are conducted by the
association this season the following
plan will be used. Each school or
grade or group of boys will so far
as possible first have a medical ex-
animation. Each boy is then weighed
and assigned to his class. Every boy
in the grade or group must do this
or it counts against the grade on their
averages. Then each boy must take
ano,,, tc
against the grade.
To illustrate the scoring a part Of
the rules are here given
95-11O ID. class-0 points.
100-yard dash-16 seconds.
Standing broad jump feet in.
Running broad jump feet 10 in.
Running high jump feet So in.
Baseball throw-13O feet.
11O-125 lb. class-0 points.
1OO-yard dash-15 seconds.
Standing broad jump feet IL in.
Running broad jumps feet 10 in.
Running high jump feet 11H in.
Baseball throw-145 feet.
Putting S-lb. shot-16 feet i'll.
Points are then scored as follows:
0 points are counted the minimum
standard.
All dashes for every one-fifth sec
ond better than minimum standard
) points.
Standing broad jump for every half
inch better than minimum point.
Running broad jump for every inch
better than Standard point.
Running high jump for every one
fourth inch above Standard point
Baseball throw for every foot above
Standard point.
Putting S-lb. shot for every three
inches above Standard point
A boy weighing III pounds might
score as follows:
1OO-yard dash recorded IA seconds
25 points.
Standing broad jump recorded 5
feet II inches-24 points.
Running broad jump recorded o
feet-2 points, etc
From this it will be seen that
every boy will have his own record
taken and recorded. This is of value.
More information may be secured
from the Y. M. c. A. secretary or he
will conduct meets for schools de-
string it.
