PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS
TO PROSPECTIVE ATHLETES
The great secret of propor training for
ell kinds of athletic feats Is to use com
mon sense. This Is tho keynoto of success
for all athletes.
Common sense In eating, common sense
In exorcising, common senso in sleeping,
nil form a combination that brings ono
to success.
One thing that I want to Impress u*.m
the young athlete Is not to oxertux hitn-

strengthened; If your arms, your legs,

or your chest aro weak you must pay
particular attention to these parts until
you feel that they are as strong as the
rest of your body. After this has been
accomplished you are fairly upon the
road to the making of a "perfect physical
man," Now comes tho dally routine of

regular training; do not forget that this

routine must never be overdone. It Is
to overtrain, In fact more
jelf at the outset. Tills mistake has been Just as harmful
harmful, than It is not to train at all.
You may easily ascertain Just how much
ercerclso your system can stand. Then
regulate your work accordingly. Gradual
ly, not all at once, must you. work your
system up to tne point where It Is capable
of standing the strain which you desire to
place upon it.
HOW TO TRAIN.
If you are training to be a runner you
must strengthen your legs and thighs.
Vou must also see that your wind Is good.
If you want to wrestle,, you must have
a .good, strong back, chest, and neck
mus oies as well as strong arms and legs.
This is also the caso with a boxer. Every
oni of his muscles must be well developed.
In addition to all this ho must learn to
bo quick.quick on his foot and quick with
his hands and arms. Different forms of
tithetica require entirely different styles
of training. Somo do not require as much
head work as others. Perhaps the boxor
has more need for clear, cool headwork
than any other kind of an athlete. He has
