1 NS Athletics NS The Ancient Greeks were masters of the art of training the physical man. Their physical endurance has never been surpassed by men of later date. Although we have no Greeks we have some excellent athletes in- our High School. Athletics is a practical science, requiring brain as well 'as muscle to become a master of the art. ' In the year 1898 Mr. C. E. Johnson organized what is at present known as the Beloit High School Athletic association. One of the rooms in the basement was given by the' school board for a gymnasium. The boys immedi- ately went to work and fitted up the room with the necessary paraphanalia in- cident to gymnastic exercises. In 1901 the High School foot ball team was taken under the management of the Athletic association. Q The first Inter-High School field meet was held in Beloit, May, 1900, at Williams' parkg Delphos, Glasco and Beloit High Schools contesting for the Inter-High School championship of North Central' Kansas. Beloit won with a total score of 59. Glasco scored 65 and Delphos 14. Harry Hart proved him- self to be the best all-around athlete in our school and was awarded a ten dol- lar gold medal. Davidson, of Glasco, was the best athlete on the Held, win- ning 10 firsts out of a possible 19 events.

The weights of all of our ogponents, with the excepxtion of J unc- tion City, averaged above 155 pounds. mith Center had the eaviest High School team in the state.
