GENERAL ATHLETIC INTEREST
PLAN OF WEST PHILA. DIRECTOR
Fred Vail Sees Advantage of Scheme Wherein
Smaller Students Become Intimate
With Sports

the bulletin board, and II is possible for
n boy to fall short several feet in the
broad jump, for instance. and still re-
ceive credit
The events in this scheme include high
and broad jumps, pole vault, shot put, 22O,
40 and SS0-yard runs, each to he marked
on merit. Mr. Vail believes that by intro
ducing scheme whereby the students
can test their skill against one another
and still do away with actual competition
Is advantageous because II will encourage
many apparently disinterested boys to
don toys and obtain the benefits of eXer-
else.
THE scheme in reality" the athletic
director said yesterday, lis nothing more
than a track meet for the younger boys,
n meet which is drawn over several
months. at which time | shall take ac-
count of the credits given each boy to
determine the winner. During the course
of the meet no one Will get the IDEA
that he should drop out because OF some
other boy scoring more points, because l
shall have most Of the trials In private
and keep the results to myself"
Mr.. Vail told of his success with the
scheme in various schools and colleges in
which he has introduced It. He had par
ticuar success at Earlham College,
at Richmond, la.
"At Earlham," said the West Phila-
delphIan, I'VE had 120 boys in college, and
out of this number 60 competed under
this scheme. The first year that 1t was
tried Earlham had little or no success In
the State track championships, but the
second year we won the title with mar
gin of IS points.
"I am confident that under this plan
many boys otherwise Indifferent to ath-
letics will find a chance to show what
they can do, and perhaps turn out to be
material for the first team, out in In
diana 1 recall a slender little fellow that
was shy of all athletics that was led
out of his shell by this system, and in two
years time he was one OF the best middle
distance runners In the State

HNHE frail. puny student, commonly pic
J. tured with heavy spectacles and thin,
spindle limbs. in the future may partc-
pate in athletics to his hearts content,
and at the same time keep out of COM
petition. according to tbs plan adopted
by Fred Vail. assistant athletic director
of the West Philadelphia High School,
BY the plan recently mausurated by
Mr.. Vail. each student in the school. re-
gardless of his backward nature and his
timidity, may at least get chance to
show what he can do athletically, and in
cidentaly go through the same perform
ances as his older and more experienced
schoolmate the boy of the regular track
team of the school.
The scheme put in effect by Mr.. Vail
provides for the student taking UP the
various branches of track sport and re-
ceiving n mark for his performance. thus
doing away with competition against an
other student. The spirit of competition
creeps in, however. due to the final sum-
ming up OF the credits Of each individual
and the winner announced. 1t also makes
It possible for the student to take up
track sports away from the gaze OF others
and may go through his performance
alone, provided OF course, that Mr.. Vail
is on hand to. -e-nrd his mark.
The West Philadelphia athletic director
pointed out yesterday that In his long
association with athletics in the high
schools, preparatory schools and colleges
he has always been impressed by the
antipathy OF the younger and under-de-
veloped student to athletics. Such stu
dents are never seen on track. baseball.
basketball and football teams. Mr.. Vail
said that the weaklings in the student
bodies devote most their time to chess
and checkers. preferring to take up pas
times which develop the thinking powers
instead of the muscles.
"Of course. 1t is all right for the boys
to spend their leisure hours with brain
developers" Mr.. Vail said. but the body
developers. at the same time. must not
be overlooked"
On the bulletin board at West Phila-
delphia High Mr.. Vail has posted a list
of the events included in the tests. For
perfection in each event the maximum
of 25 points are accredited. The students
are marked according to the schedule on
