THE PORCUPINE 21 in later life he will have acquired sufficient physical strength to be able to endure the many hard tasks with which men daily come in contact. ‘The High School should not be only a preparatory school for the mental faculties, but also for the physical, the one being no less important than the other. If the High School boy would look into the lives of men who are succeeding today, he would find that they have been developed physically, as well as mentally in their school days. Thus, boys, get out and train for your own good, if not for the honor of the school. It is the boy who tries that succeeds, so try at least. The best men in our teams did not succeed in making the team the first or second terms but they kept on trying and made themselves the athletes they are by faithful training. We will, without doubt, have the best team this spring, that the school has ever turned out. We will have all of last fall’s team, except Purrington, with the addition of McConnell, who will add greatly to our strength. Our manager, Russ Smith, who was handicapped last fall by a dislocated knee, will be in good condition for the half and mile runs. Others who will strive to uphold the honor of their school this spring are Hitchcock, Gray, Jacobs, Macquiddy, Loughery, Dignan, Proctor, Walker; Davis, R. P. Smith, Briggs, Lockhart, Lee, Wooley, Mitchell, Wilson and many others. We are looking forward to a trip to Standford where we will meet the freshmen in a dual meet during latter part of February. We have anticipated this trip twice before but were unable to go the first time on account of rain and the second time on account of the death of R. C. Moodey Fall Styles in Shoes

THE PORCUPINE 2 os oh ae F thilltat i es. Tis spring, the time when all schools throughout the country are doing their utmost to further the interests of track athletics. It is the ambition of every school to turn out the sturdiest and best all-around athletes possi- ble. It is the all around team that counts, not the indi- vidual stars. In the past, especially in the A. A. L., the team having the most individual stars, has usually won, but the constitution of the league has been so altered that the best all around team will win, as the sum of thé second, third and fourth places now count more than first pee The points now are, first place, 5, second, 3, third, 2, and fourth, 1, while previously there has been no fourth place, the points counting, first 5, second,3, and third,1. The season permits early training and those who get out now will have the best opportunity to make the team and even though they do not make the team they will make the greatest improvement. Many boys have the wrong impression about training, and believe that unless they can make the team there is no use of training. This idea is, without doubt, the greatest detriment to track athletics. ' The most important advantage in training is the devel- opment of one’s physical powers to such an extent that Paul T. Hahman, Ph. G. Jerry W. Claypool : Class of 93 HAHMAN DRUG CO.
