SUCCESS IS DUE TO
SUPREME Confidence
Richards Broke Down Nerve of His
Competitors in High Jump Event
at Olympic Games.

coincidence is one of the prime fac
tors in the success of an athlete. Be
cause he possesses 1t in abundance is
one or the reasons that Alva Rich
ards, of Cornell University, is such an
unusual high jumper. Richards has
always believed in himself, and 1t has
heiped TO win many a hard competi-
tion.
The following story well illustrates
the supreme confidence of Richards
The incident occurred on the trip of
the American Olympic team to Stock
hoim in July, 1912. At that time
Richards was a Salt Lake City school
boy. Before he won a place on the
team with a jump of six feet two
inches in the preliminary try-outs at
Chicago hardly any one had heard of
him. One day while on the ocean a
group of the athletes were discussing
thelr chances for the various events.
Finally one of the boys turned to
Richards, who had been a silent list
ener, with this query:
We'll what do you think your
chances are for the high jump"
My chances?" said Richards. why
I'm going to win my event, and what's
more I'm going to do it with a jump
of six feet four inches"
There was some good-natured kid
ding OF the Big Westerner for the re-
mainder of the trip. But Richards
turned out to be a prophet who had
the last laugh. At the close of the
preliminaries in this event George
Horine, of Leland Stanford, the
worlds champion; Lische, of Germany,
and Richards were left. There was
CONSERVATION when HORNE went out
at little over six feet The bar
went up to 500 with both Richards
and the German clearing it. They
both negotiated 6.02. 1t went up to
6.o4 and Richards determined to shake
the German at once. With a supreme
effort Richards cleared the bar on his
first attempt. The Germans nerve
was gone and he failed three times in
succession.
Richards is now Junior at Cornell,
and outside of his wish to create a
new world record this year his great
est apbition is to beat Wesley OIer. of

FAMOUS HURDLER HAS
RUN HIS LAST RACE
Sustains Injury in Football Game
Which Will Keep Him from
the Track.

Fred ! Kelly, Olympic. worlds and
American high hurdling champion and
record holder, and one OF the greatest ALL
round athletes OF the present day, has
more than likely run his last race
Kelly sustained what he thought was a
fracture of the leg while playing football
with a Los Angeles. Cal, team about six
weeks ago. The hurdler did not realize
that the bone was broken and walked
around on the injured member>for four
days. Thinking 1t was a simple slit he
expected the wound to heal in a week,
but now he learns that the leg was
broken and has knitted improperly be-
cause of the pressure he put on 1t, and
that It must be broken again.

something will be accomplished. The
ideals Of college baseSsll, as expressed
by the N. c. A. A., are SO different from

.. No member of either team shall
call or shout to a member of another
team during the game unless to warn him

any kind from the bench.

couragement or steadying. it can be given

very least a sea serpent She was
lonely and wanted something exciting
to happen.
IF only the days Of fairy tales were
not Over!" she sighed as she sat down
In the hollow Of the rocks and rested
her curly head against some lovely
seaweed dried by the sun. AS she
looked dreamily out to sea she was
startled to hear some one singing close
to her ear:
"Oh. don't you know the way
To the land Of elf and fay,
To that fair strand OF golden sand
Where It Is always day?
Then follow. follow me
To my cave beneath the sea-"
Myra delightedly raised her head to
find that the song seemed to come from
the mouth of large conch shell lying
close to her AS she gaZed the shell
grew larger and yet larger until it
opened invitingly to her.
"Oh. this is too lovely" cried the
little girl. tripping into the shell with
out much hesitation.
AS she tripped down the mysterious
passage Of the seashell the light grew
more and more rosy. the music more
beautiful. 1t was indeed like a song
from fairyland which still led her on.
Suddenly the hall widened into a
marvellous green chamber, In which
grew wonderful sea flowers. On a
throne made Of pearl sat very lovely
lady. with long golden hair. pink
cheeks, smiling eyes. robed in green
with trimming Of fluffy white. like the
crest Of waye.
"You are right welcome. my child"
she said to Myra. who stood abashed
before such beauty. II am the spirit
Of the seashell. and 1t is my voice
which sings to little children whenever
they bend their heads to listen. They
who hear my song are never lonely
again. They realize that the world
Of fairy lies very close to them"
AS she spoke soft music sounded.
and Myra seemed to be lifted up. up.

the rocks just as she was when she
first heard the song Of the shell. As
she sat up she caught sight Of the
shell and. snatching 1t up. carried 1t
home with her. remembering the
words Of the fairy. "Those who hear
my song will never be lonely again."
