creation Association Of America. is
composed Of the following stunts:
Pull up (chinning) 4 times.
Standing broad jump, feet inches.
60 yards dash, 3 3-5 seconds.
II is TO be hoped that every boy in
the county of from ten to twelve years
old will be practicing these stunts.
Every boy ought TO be physically tit,
and these exercises will help to make
him so. Specialized athletics have de-
vcloped remarkable American athletes,
but they have done most for those who
needed athletic training least. In
these days the boy who makes himself
physically efficient is preparing him
self for efficient citizenship later.
The following rules shall govern the
final competition which will take place
at Bigclow next spring:
1. Il is necessary to qualify in all
three events in order to win medal.
.. There will be but one trial in
chinning, one in the dash and three in
the jump.
