ATHLETIC IDEALS The athletic director at Lake Forest is Mr. Ralph jones. He came to us six years ago from the University of Illinois, where he had coached Varsity basketball and Freshman football and baseball eight years. His success here, in these five years, has been phenomenal, and we believe this is due in great part, to the athletic ideals he has brought with him. He believes implicitly in fair play. He coaches this, not only because of its good morally, but also because it is the best policy. He says a man that goes into a game thinking right, that is ready to give everything he has without a taint of intended dirty work in his mind, has a great advantage over the man that goes into a game to see what he can get by with. A byword on all his teams is, If you can't smile, skin your teeth. That means that if you miss a tackle in football, and you mop up the field with your face, get up and make your opponents think you enjoyed it, and smile, if you try to shoot a basket in basketball, and you are fouled, and the referee doesn't call it, smile, make them think you enjoyed their joke, if a pitcher hits you in the hand with a ball in baseball, and the umpire calls it a foul, smile, that's part of the game. Anybody that has been in these circumstances knows how hard it is to do, but it pays and Mr. jones knows it. Never take undue advantage is another byword and it means that no Lake Forest athlete will ever razz an opponent, no matter how tempting the situation. A good sportsman will never revert to personal remarks to get the best of his opponent. These are the ideals held by the teams themselves. But the ideals that the school has in watching games also deserve meniton. Yells are never given when the oppo- nents are trying to give signals. Whenever a man is hurt, on either side, a yell is given for him. Players are never razzed no matter what they do. These, all in all, are some of the athletic ideals at Lake Forest Academy and we doubt if any school can claim better ones. Page one hundred one

STRAUB 3rd year Captain Harvey piloted the national champs from the quarterback post with a lot of precision and iight mixed with his characteristic cool- ness. Harv usually took the dirty work on his shoulders when there was only a few yards to gain, he came thru the center of the line and always made the yards. We are betting on him to cut a few more capers at college after his splendid work for L. F. A. Qs NW W M . .- , A NNW FOOTBALL CQACI-IES Yes! Sir! Withcqut a doubt, Lake Forest had the best football coaches in the country. Since football has been in existence hardly a team can boast of a record made, playing such a schedule as we played, without the coaching our team had. Mr. jones was head coach and handled the back field, Major Weir, coaching the line, and Mr. Bergen the ends. Mr. Bergen, a new coach and Math. teacher added to last year's staff, an L. F. A. graduate and letter man from Princeton. Three wonderful coaches, admired and repsected very highly by all the L. F. A. boys. Page one hundred two
