furthering improvement of all civic

BY COACH \. o. SCHNEIDER.

The game of basket ball is such a
strenuous sport. with it's demand of
action upon the heart. lungs and
other organs of the body. that any one
who has had any experience AT all in
connection with the game will recon-
mend the need for good physical condi-
ton.
My advice to the boys of Washing
ton who intend TO play the game. ami
play it seriously. is to get yourselves
in the very best possible physical con
dition before Your season starts. At
the same time you must not try to ac
complish too much in short space of
time. A boy anxious to make good

suits. This must he avoided.
