boy at this age he is either not listening to you
or he is wondering where the old guy got that fun
ny collar, but he will listen if it affects his chance
of making the team.
TT QUICKENS HIS TRIMMING. 1t is
urgently important that our soldiers get to France
soon as possible. They are needed now. Ath-
letics will accomplish this. Their physical condi
ton is improved more rapidly, their hardening for
the strenuous life ahead is less difficult and their
learning of discipline is quicker a result of this
athletic training Recognized military authorities
say that the trained athlete will be prepared for
service several months earlier than the boy who
takes active interest in sports.
Ut DEVELOPS ALL THE MEN. Prop
erly directed athletics will develop all of the men
rather than making physical giants of the few. 1t
isn't like the selection of football team. We
not trying to pick a team out of a squad Of two
hundred men, but to build them ALL up so that
may get at least one-hundred seventy-fve able
bodied men out of the two-hundred 1t is not a
question of selecting only the best physically
for the war, but improving the man power and
vitality of all to render a larger number suit
able for service and to increase the military value
of each individual man. To do this it is necessary
that the proper scientific methods be utilized. A
large part of the exercise that the boy usually takes
is not of the proper kind. Much has a tendency to
build up great arm and leg muscles The arms and
legs get enough exercise normally. When you rise
from chair what is the first thing that you do?
You grasp it with your hands and push yourself up.
Why? Because YOU know that your arms have the
best trained muscles of the body, and therefore can
be called to assist your body muscles in getting
up We do not need to increase the strength of the
organs already sufficiently developed We need
good lungs, good hearts and proper coordination
of the muscles and the mind The engine must be
properly oiled and kept in proper trim. Frequent

Il pleased to say that judging from the
reports l have had, some of them coming directly
from my son, who is actively engaged in this work
in the Southern camps, there is complete co-oPera-
tion. The athletic committee appointed by the
Camp Commandant and usually composed of the
Y. NJ. c. A. athletic secretary and the camp athletic
officer, arrange schedules for games, organize
baseball series, stage boxing bouts, wrestling
matches, etc. Every piece Of ground large enough
is utilized by this committee for outdoor sports,
and they use the Y. NJ. C. A. Auditorium and huts
for indoor games.
1T is attempted to manage that every boy
will have opportunity to take definite amount
of physical exercise. Boys take kindly to this,
they like to play, therefore the influence of the
athletic directors with the boys is great and their
tasks enormous, SO great that it is absolutely
essary that the work be apportioned among these
various agencies.
In conclusion let me say, in this life grapple
with the Hun, the army needs every available man,
and every man who can be made available, and
that every soldier be brought up to his highest
efficiency Every man must be physically fit. The
task Of physically upbuldng millions Of men is

ed. The first one developed is play and It is pos
sible to keep it in the foreground. Give him an
opportunity to engage in sports, to take part in
football and baseball to play healthy robust, Wig
orous games and this instinct stays in the ascend
ency and he will stay at the camp on Saturday and
Sunday rather than go to places of vice. Further
more he knows that he must be moral if he desires
to be at his best physically and therefore is unwil
ing lessen his chances of success by dissipation
In the football season we have very little trouble
on this score with Il candidates for positions on
the team. Every boz hopes to make good. When
is explained to him that he cannot reach supreme
physical excellence if he is immoral you won't
need to tell him that he mustn't. 1t won't be nee

so big, that every agency engaged in this work
put forth its best efforts and, without regard
to any special credit, submerging self-nterest and
personal glory, work in complete unison in the
wonderful task of making Uncle Sans soldiers,
the finest body of physical manhood that ever
faced despcable foe
l told you l would make Walter Camp write
the story for Did l do it? Wei, almost
there just other thing that the reader should
know. The Y. NJ c. A. is equally impressed with
the Importance of athletics and is giving the whole
hearted cooperation that Mr.. Camp suggests. Read
what Dr. Fisher, the General Athletic Director of
the War Work Council of the \. NJ. c. A. says
about it
"A French General has said that the war Will
be won by the side having the best nerves. Morale
is great force in winning the Nothing can
contribute more to these two factors than play and
recreation. No country has equalled the pres
ent record of the American Army and Navy in the
provision of athletic sports and wholesome recrea
ton by civilian organizations in which III the

him and they doing it.
Several agencies have been established for
this particular purpose. An army athletic officer
is assigned to each regiment, the Committee of
Training Camp Activities has representative and
the Y. NJ. {. A. has an athletic secretary in every
camp and an individual athletic director in each Y.
NJ c. a. hut. The knights of Columbus and the Y.
NJ. II. A. also assist in this work. The work is so
important that it is absolutely essential for these
bodies to act in perfect unison. There should be
petty quarrels. no little misunderstanding but
they must work in complete cooperation and every
man must do his share,
