Take the one you like or are in condition for. 62.5 5Vhen you have chosen the sport, develope your body for that to get everything out of it. Practice well to give your-self and your team the best you have. 53.5 The most important is uhe care of your body by proper food and the proper amount of sleep. t4.5 5Vhen in season of training, care should be taken to see that proper food is eaten. Plenty of proteins and starch. Eat only such foods as give the body the best conditioning proper- ties. I t5.5 The next thing is that an ath- lete gets plenty of sleep while in train- ing season. No late dates the night before a performance. C6.5 Nexer smoke, drink or chew, because this stimulates different or- gans of the body and slackens one's condition. t'7.5 Every athlete should respect the member of the other team, no un- fairness should be shown at any time during the game or outside the game. 18.5 Every athlete should show sportsmanship at all times during the game and in outside life. 19.5 The athlete should have per- fect mental development as well as good physical body. llis social life should be as interesting to him as is the game itself. tl0.5 Last, the athlete should never let honors go to his head.
