F|NDOUTFOOD
NEEDS, SAYS
EXPERT
BY ARTHUR A. McGovERN

BY ARTHUR A. McGOVERN
Health is the natural condi-
ton of the human body; sickness
is unnatural and abnormal. The
right kind of food and the right
way Of eating work to preserve
natural health, while the wrong
kind and way destroy health and
induce the unnatural condition
of sickness. The latter process is
rapid only when some radical
error in f. I'd or eating causes a
violent disturbance. Usually the
change from health to illness as
O result of wrong food is gradual,
and for a time is unnoticed by
the, one who is undergoing the
process. ..
YoE sometimes hear a man
say, "Oh, I can eat anything !
like; nothing disagrees with me-"
And he believes this because he
has not as yet suffered the pains
Of acute indigestion and has not
realized that indigestion is a lar
less simple matter than mere
pain in the stomach. He does
not realize that even the ap-
parently complete digestion every
day of the food he eats may not
be sufficient for his health.
Therefore, it is necessary for
even the man who thinks he is
well and that his digestive ap-
paratus is in good order to
know whether the food he is
eating is really what nature re-
uuires, in order to preserve and
build up in his body the natural
condition of perfect and lasting
health.
You may safely infer that per
sons who pay no attention to the
right way of eating also give little
thought to the selection and pro
portioning of their food to meet
the exact health requirements OF
their bodies.
There are so many excellent
books on the market today which
cover the subjects of nutrition,
the proper selection of food, bal
anced diets, and the like, that
there is little or no excuse for
the average person to neglect this
vital topic. Millions of dollars
have been spent in scientific re-
search along this line, so why not
take advantage of this great work
that is continually being done for
the benefit of the human race.
I strongly urge every man and
woman to read some good work
of this nature and to learn for
themselves the exact food require
ments of the body and its relation
to perfect health.

BY KIRK MILLER

The older heads Of baseball
will tell you that more rockies
have eaten their way out Of
major league training camps
than from all other reasons
combined.
There are no statistics to
prove such a theory, because
when a player is bought q
ticket thence from a training
camp, there is no clinical chart
attached to show exactly why
the manager has decided he
can struggle along through
another season without the par
ticular holder Of such a ticket
in the fold.
However, the club authorities
themselves are trying to do some
thing about this gormandizing
that seems to be the worst af-

In some instances no lunch is
advised at all, and in others the

Stribling said that the extra day

Precaution Abandoned

Possibly the ball clubs them
selves are somewhat to blame
for the temptation the average
rookie feels to figuratively eat
off his head. Travelling and
living strictly first class and
dining en- route and in hotels
where the worlds finest foods
are collected and tastily pre-
pared, the natural tendency is
to throw all precaution away
because the club is paying for
it anyway.
If you could see some of the
hotels from Santa Catalina
Island, California to West
Palm Beach, Fla, where the
players put up. you would
gather Immediately the con-
stant temptation to live high.
It is all around them, this de
luxe life, and it is contagious.
But because it is expensive
to bring a rookie to camp,
keep him from three weeks to
two months and then find he
can't control his appetite, the
club powers are trying, without
being niggardly about it, to
help these young fellows get
some eating sense.
AS we say, some of the
clubs are discouraging a mid
day meal and others are en-
forcing a program of just
enough nourishment, like milk
and soup, served at the ball
park, to tide the boys over
until their evening meal which
may be just as hearty as the
individual wishes.
The Washington times., 1931-02-25
Slows Body and Mind

A heavy meal at midday,
slows up a ball players after
noon practice. It slows his
mind as we'll as his body. Much
blood is required to stimulate
the stomach organs following
a big meal. The brain is rob
bed Of its proper share of blood
for this purpose as are other
portions of the anatomy and
thus a sluggish mental and
physical condition - commonly
called SleepineSS-en
In the case of the Washing
ton ball club a per diem of
81 is provided the ball players
and they must eat on that,
which, day in and day out
while on the road, is not diff
cult to do. Mike Martin does a
little scouting on his own &C.
count where particularly glut-
tonous individuals are con
cerned, and administers a rep
rimand. If the hungry rookie
doesn't heed Mikes warning,
it isn't long before he's being
shipped to parts unknown.
Washington has had its wor-
rysome eaters in years past, just
as New York used to be con-
siderably concerned over the
hot-dog diet of Babe Ruth. who
swallowed them by the link.
Probably the biggest eater the
Griffmen have ever had on their
roster was Jim Shaw, the

HOME GAME
TONIGHT

The University of Maryland,
although it has won more than
two-thirds of its basketball con-
tests in the last eight years, has
not Jared we'll in the Southern
Conference tourney. The Old
Liners engage Johns Hopkins to-
night in the Ritchie gym at Col
lege Park at 8:15 o'clock. They
leave Thursday night for Atlanta,
Ca, where they tackle Louisiana
State Friday night at 7 o'clock
in their first game Of the South
ern Conference championship.
This will be Maryland's seventh
bid for the court title but only
twice in it's six previous attempts
has the team got by the first
round.
Beaten by Georgia
In 1924, the year the sport
was put on an organized basis at
College Park with the building OF
a. gymnasium, the Old Liners
routed V. M. l., in the first round
but lost the next day to Georgia
20 to 25, in thriller.
In 1925, the Maryland quint
performed the feat of putting
out the husky Alabama team,
the favorite to carry off the
honOrs, but the game took so
much out of the Old Liners
that they fell easy prey to
North Carolina State, 30 to 1S,
in the second stage.
In 1925, the Old Liners bowed
to Mississippi Aggies, % to 10
in the opening tilt and their con
querors kept on to win the cham
pionship.
In 1927. a fine Georgia team
put Maryland out in the initia
encounter. Earlier that season
Maryland had defeated Georgie
at College Park by one point
"a to 33.
Maryland did not send a team
in 1928, but in 1929 lost a merry
battle to a powerful Mississippi
U. quint, 81 to 35. Last year the
Old Liners drew Kentucky, one
of the favoriteS, for their frs
round match and lost, 26 to 81

Norris, center, and BoZey Berger
and Charlie May, guards, all art
on the floor, but lack good re

both are 6 feet 2 inches tall but
the others are "ShortieS."
Frenchy COhan, leading re-
serve, and John Pitzer, another
second string, also are short,
while Bob Wilson, the other
player slated to make the trip,
while a Six-fOOter, has been
hampered by a bad shoulder
that drove him from football
and kept him from catching on
the ball team.
Maryland lost heavily by grad
uation last season, losing five
letter men. Then Bob Gaylor
leading scorer last season, quit
school just as the basketball
campaign began, and Pat Rooney
letter man, hurt his knee in 6
fall on the ice and still is using

Despite these handicaps, Coach
Burton Shipley has won three
fourths of his games. losing foul
contests by the total margin o1
10 points. It is the consenSu:

had remained in school, the Ole

would have been favorites al

Two experts who hold this
opinion are Gus Tebell, of Vir
