Football, 'Thehside Came;
Strict Training Rules

TIE training rules that big league
1 football players observe are not
the complicated mass OF techni-
calities that the man IN the street
may believe. Every rule has common
sense for its basis and Is not espe-
eislly difficult 70 observe. Sometimes
football players are so impressed by
the benefits they derive from train
ing rules IN the course Of a season
that they continue 20 observe them
when the season Is done. I have
known OF more than one football man
who has given Up smoking cigarettes
after an abstinence-with beautiful
results-of eight or ten weeks in the
playing season
Training rules are not devised by
medical Machiavellis who want 20
Wreak their vengeance on football
stars They are set down by physi-
cal trainers and physicians with
every sympathy for players and the
pIayers's temptations And so they
are made as easy as possible. and
only the essential things are written
in the book OF rules.

physical training 10 him are certain

ordinary fellow. who has never lived
more than an ordinary life. there are
not many pleasures 20 be denied him.
The rules set down for healthy
football players are quite COM
parable 20 those laid down TO
neWly-born Infants. They are all
based on regularity. Thus n foot
bail man must eat his meals ut
certain hour every day and al
ways conform to that schedule.
He should not eat anything be-
tween meals. because that would
tend 10 disorEauiEe the processes
OF hts stomach.
As FOR food. you viii generally find
football men eating al special
trainia- table for the fun length OF
the season. They have only the most
wholesome OF foods. with a minimum
Of the fancy stuff like pastry. They
can eat as heartily as they wish. pro-

No Intoxicating Liquors.
Drinking Is simple matter. The
players constantly live around the

Intoxicating nquors-which the coun-
try at large now eschews along with
them-and ice cream sodas and the
like. Only a soda fiend is likely 10
balk at that regimen.
Smoking Il taboo. OF courHe,

About the only other phase OF
training is sleep. Just as he must
eat regularly. so also must the ath-
lete sleep regularly. He must also
get long hours-certainly not less
than eight per day. His tired mus
