One must be an athlete who knows howg and he must be a man with a conviction and a purpose. Hedding has high ideals in athletics. She is proud of the year's record. Under the direction of Coach Kirby our men have acquitted themselves with honor and Hedding is justly proud of her worthy sons. Not a great while ago it was a serious question whether athletics really had a place in College life. We heard occasionally from alumni of the nineties of the davs when foot ball was forever banished from the colleges. But the Pig Skinn seems to have the proverbial nine lives of the cat, and came back, together with all other forms of amateur sport, and remained a recognized part of College activities. 1, Wliy athletics in College? Youth demands action. Youthful minds and Youth- ful bodies seek development. The game of skill affords exercise for both, and gives to the student a needed chance to measure up to one of the Creator's laws, namely, VVhat it is possible for me to become I am morally obligated to become. The game develops body and soul. There is on the athletic field challenge to muscle, brain and will. I may be a better physical man if I train my body sensibly. It is a joy to be possessed of a good body and. too. I shall need a good body. One day I shall be carrying a heavy load in the world's work and I shall say at the dayls end, How thankful I am that I can do a man's part. VVhen I have come to the meridian of my life I shall look with pity upon the poorly formed, physically unfit neighbor and say. IVhat a shame that man will so neglect the masterpiece of the Creator. When I come to preside over my own home, I will view with just pride my boys. better physi- cal types than myself, and because I know how to play shall be able to introduce them to some of life's best games. I will seem to them to be a real man. My boyis pal will respect me and will be ready to respect my better counsels when he sees what a suc- cess I have made at living well. I shall be more useful in the community if I keep young with the youth in spite of advancing years. Play keeps one young,-it is the youthful mode of expressing life. Therefore, one's education consists -partly in learn- ing how to play well so as to be better able to perpetuate this quality so loved in youth. All honor then to the man who knows how to play just enough. and who has learned how to play honorably and skillfully. Hedding rejoices when one of her sons, having met these conditions, wears the monogram of honor, guarding it carefully as he would his own reputation. The thoughtful man of the business world looks upon the sturdy youth and says, He has shown himself determined and capable. There is room for such as he. if-1 Sixty-seven 471- fla-322533 5?5I5i?i if Qfffsielf? f 2
