Just what an athlete may accom-.
nlish aftess entering college. even
though he may not be regarded as
much during his prep school career. -
well illustrated by what Elerndon falf
has done in basket ball at University
of South Carolina. Fair graduated
anfria, but never was able to make
the team there. He entered South
Carolina two years ago. but did not
make the freshman Ave. Last year he
won n place on the varsity and during
the season just closed played so bril-
Haptly that he was selected as all
southern forward.
Some of the would-be athletes in the
schools and colleges who so out for
teams and quit after a week ought 10
take Far as an example OF what they
might accomplish ifs they had his vii
ungness to work and stick. Fair
played fve years before he ever made
flrst-string team, but what he has
accomplished now Is worth while to
him. not only for the physical value,
hut BECAUSE in sticking until he made
good he learned the lesson that all
ends may he achieved by diligence and
hard work
Aud, incidentally, nearly always the
men of the Fair type are the ones col
Iege authorities recommend for jobs
when the big corporations send their
representatives around to get men to
FIJI important positions. not the ones
who begin job and quit 1t few days
after because of it's difficulties. And,
getting down to fundamentals, too few
Tsen OF the Fair type are in the col
leges and too many OF the other
