Age and its relation to athletics

It all depends pretty much on
how a man takes care of himself.
In professional sport an athlete is
regarded as a veteran after few
years of competition. Ball players
and and boxers can be under thirty
and be referred to as veterans. Ben
ny Leonard, the lightweight cham
pion, is a dapper young person, but
boxing fans speak of him as the
veteran lightweight champion.
In other sports it works the other
way. Willie Hoppe will always b
regarded as a youth. He hasn't
changed much in appearance, ant
the public impression of him as a
youth will be difficult to erase.
It is the same with Bobby Jones
Golfers regarded him not as a
serious student at Harvard but as
