ALEXANDR|ANS
ADVANCE

GASTONIA, N. c., Aug. 15.-
The Alexandria (VaO baseball
team routed Memphis in the
semifinals Of the American
JUNIOR Legion series for the eighth
region. The score was "a to 4.
Alexandria now has gained the
right to meet the Gastonia team
today, and a victory over that
club will enable it to advance to
the Eastern championships at
Charlottesville and maybe to the
little world series later. Gas
tonia also won yesterday, defeat
ing Columbia, S. c., 6 to 4.
The Memphis club was out
claSSed by Alexandria from
start to finish. So much, in
fact, that the game became
dull and unintereSting shortly
after it had gotten under
way. The winers just clubbed
the ball all over the lot and
every member collected at
least one hit.
Nicholson hurled masterful ball
in turning in the victory. From
the score he did not have to ex-
tend himself, but even at that
he tantilized his opponents even
when he eased up. In the hit
ting he chimed in with the rest
of his teammates by Socking out
two, while Bruin, teammate short
stop, collected four in five times
at bat.
Hudson and Zimmerman slapped
out three hits each to come next
in the starring roles.

TOOSER|OUS
IN SPORTS
BY CHRISTIAN (RED) eagle

DJ NAAAOA9 AA1A4N AASAADJ
The serious manner in which
the American sport public taxes
it's athletics applies to college
athletics as well as the non-col-
legiate field.
This dominating will to win Is
apt to make young athletes too
ambitious, and youngsters who
hope to reach stardom in more
than one sport should be care
full at the beginning.
It is q tough task. and unless
one is blessed with a strong con-
stitution and a fine nervous sys-
tenn they run the chance Of
burning themselves out before
the time they should be at their
best.
My advice to young athletes is
to specialize in one sport the
first year at college, with only
a limited amount of time and
energy given to a second choice
athletic contest.
COLLEGE competition is
much harder than that in
high schools, and youngsters
who are now entering the
universities are far from
fully developed, as the aver
age age for freshmen runs
around Is or II years.
A list of athletes who burned
themselves out while in college
would be long enough to span the
Hudson, and many of those fel'
lows were more fully developed
than the majority of athletes en-
tering college today. The young
athlete who overindulges in sports
can never become as outstanding
player in his favorite line of en-
deavor as he might If he had Spe-
cialized in his best sport at the
beginning of his college career.
Any athlete who plans to play
football in college would do well
to wait year or two before Civ
ing serious thought toward two
or more athletic events. The grid
iron players are subjected to a
great nervous strain for three
months in addition to the physi-
cal strain.
In order to have team play
its best the coach must "key
mp" the team, and at the end
of the week they are some
what tagged Out-tired.
After the regular football sea-
son there comes spring practice,
and in some sections of the coun-
try the coaches have winter prac-
tice. This, along with the grind
ing hours at practice and playing
during the fall takes it's toll from
the strength of the football player
especially the undeveloped ath.
letes who have just begun their
college work.
In my opinion, the athlete who
expects to excel in sport should
specialize in that sport for the
first year anyway, but after two
years of development other sports
can be given more time.
