THE VALUE OF CLEAN LIVING IN ATHLETICS
. - - . t
r T - ' HIS is the second of a series of articles written exclusively for The Georgian by Fred C.
_L Thomson, world's champion all-around athlete, on the subject “The Value of Clean Living
in Athletics.”
By Fred C. Thomson.
WORLD’S CHAMPION ATHLETE.
IN dealing with this subject I
must draw more from my ob
servation than from personal
experience, for as yet I do not
judge that I have come into the
after-life of an athlete.
I have heard athletics objected
to on the ground that it was a
strain. Nothing could be more
narrow. A strain? Surely It’s a
strain, and therein lies whatever
of good there may be in it. And
the word "strain” I am using as it
was used to me—that is, a tension
or stress. And those who claimed
it was a strain thought that their
point, in objection to athletics,
had been won when I readily
agreed that athletics was a strain.
Rut rather than winning their
point, by their own statement they
lost it, and that hopelessly. For
the very worthwhileness of athlet
ics lies in the fact that it furnishes
a strain, a tension, a stress, a pro
bation. if you please. "But the
strain of athletics is a drain,” they
cry; “it breaks men.” I'll admit
that it breaks men.
The Abuse of Athletics.
But that tells me nothing against
athletics.
Men drown In water. Does that
say that it would be mercy to re
fuse a parched, thirsty child a cool
glass of water? Men have been
burnt with fire. For that reason
would you refuse to hold your
numb hands to the welcome
warmth of some cheery blaze?
The objection Is not to athletics,
but to the abuse of athletics. And
I object just ns vehenjontly —pos-
sibly more so —to those abuses, and
they are many. But in that num
ber th» mere fact of a strain con
sequent upon athletic activity has
no place. Why, the possession of
free will entails a strain. Would
we, theif. throw away free will?
When a child learns to walk it
is a tremendous strain on the un
tried. unhardened muscles. For
that reason would you keep the
sons of men crawling on hands and
knees wherever they go? Does the
birth cry mark an easy, a simple
occurrence? Why. everything that
counts follows strain.
Sacrifice Is Well Rewarded.
But strain may break: surely!
But that is not nearly as impor
tant a fact as that nothing but
strain can make.
But how does all this fit the top
ic I am writing of? Just this way:
To withstand the strain of ath
letics a man must take such -and
such care of himself. He must eat
such and such things. Certain oth
er things he dare not do nor eat.
To the man that finally makes good
the end in view, of athletic promi
nence or of personal satisfaction,
is big enough to make him willing
to sacrifice those little freedoms of
ways of living that are pleasant to
him. to which he is accustomed but
which do not go with- good condi-
tion Now, it is just the way in
w hich a man regards and uses this
period of denial that shows wheth
er he Is to be finally made or
broken by the strain of the tests
ho is preparing for. To some men
training, with, its enforced absti
nences, is a tedious, irksome thing.
They look forward to the day they
can break training, when they can
cut loose and be free again. They
never get beyond training merely
because they have to. Just such a
man I helped carry off a field not so
long ago. For three-quarters of an
hour 1 worked over him before I
dared trust his heart to follow one
beat after another as it should.
When he was weakest he whisper
ingly pleaded for whisky—"just to
smell.” 1 wet my handkerchief and
held it for him. He drew.as de,ep
breaths as his stagnant-blooded
lungs would allow and whispered,
''My, but that’s good. good. I'll be
mightily glad when this training
business is over.” If I had not
known him already that would
have told me enough.
Training a Revelation.
But there are some men to whom
training with its sane laws and re
quirements is a revelation.' They
not only get a habit of decent liv
ing, they learn the happiness of a
clean body and a clean life.
1 saw more than one man, when
a great game was done, training
over, all that could be wished of a
season’s work finished, sitting
around a magnificent banquet ta
ble, in such a banquet room as has
few equals in the world, leave un
touched every one of four glasses
that were by their places. The
long, Jong, thin glasses that spar
kled deep, the shallower that
were filled with richest hues, reds,
greens were untouched. Enticing?
Yes; but to thpse men who had
really tasted the rich, satisfying
pleasure of a sound body and free,
pure, richly coursing blood in un-

clogged veins, holding to that was
more enticing.
Let me make this whole thing
very definite. The man who is not
by nature prohibited and treats
himself fairly, before, during and
after, will never be hurt by and
will be greatly helped by what
ever he may do In athletics.
Real Athlete Must Live Clean,
To be as good as any man nv .
be tn athletics he must live clean
ly. He must pay the price. Does
that sound like a hard statement?
It isn't.
To be as good as anay man may
be. in anything, he must live clean
ly. He must pay the price. More
than that. TO HOLD ONE’S
SELF-RESPECT A MAN MUST
LIVE CLEANLY. MORE EVEN
THAN THAT. TO BE A CHRIS
TIAN A MAN MUST LIVE
CLEANLY. AND THIS LAST IS
THE FINAL DEED, THE ABOVE
ALL OTHERS ESSENTIAL
THING.
THAT’S WHAT REALLY
COUNTS.

Proverb Contest Will Make
a Delightful Summer for
the Winners of the Rich
Prizes.
Don’t lay your plans for sprine' out
ings and summer vacations until you have
entered The Georgian's Great Proverb
Contest. This competition is going to
revolutionize many a person's summer,
and make it exceptionally delightful.
Somebody wid get $2,000 in gold; others
will get automobiles and other rich prizes
and every prize offered in this contest
is well worth the little time and trouble
spent in trying to solve the puzzles.
What a wealth of recreation —what
a store of pleasure, and how many people
will enjoy these rich prizes wrapped up
in this contest waiting for some wittj’
person to solve their meanings.
It makes no difference if you are en
tering later than the early hirds. You
have just as good a chance of winning
the grand prize you are after as the ones
that started with the issue of the first
picture.
No answer is to be sent in until after
the last picture has appeared, and then
you have plenty of time. A period of
two weeks will be allowed for the con
testants to review their back numbers
and see that they are as near correct as
’ possible.
These hack numbers are on sale at
the contest department of The Georgian,
20 East Alabama street, and may be ob
tained at the regular rate of The Daily
Georgian—2c per copy. You would be
>Hu <du line if 'ou would order your
hack numbers, and start the work at
once. In this way you can solve the
tiires as they are published daily, and
then devote a little time each day to one
of the hack numbers, and you will be
up with the beginners before you
realise it.
Some will enjoy the contest now
more than if they had started with the
first picture, for the aivarding of the
prizes is now not so very far off. There
will be no long period of suspense for
those who enter now, and the prizes are
so promising and the puzzles so interest
ing that it will be a pleasure to sit down
and solve all the back numbers.
To aid the contestants, the Contest
Department is still mailing out the Prov
erb Guides to all who are working for
one of the prizes. These books will be a
help to old contestants as well as the new
ones, and will keep yon in line with all
the proverbs. While you are looking for
one, you may run across one that will be
in the paper later, and you will remem
ber seeing it in the hook, and there you
go again to look for it. If you did not
have this book, you would have no sugges
tion as to what the picture represents,
and there von will be-—“ Don’t know
where to look.”
The following questions and answers
are for the benefit of those who read
these columns each day:
Q. How many answers may he sent
in for each solution?
A. Three separate sets of solutions are
permissible for each puzzle.
Q. How do we send in our answers?
A. Hold all answers until the last
picture has been published, and then send
them in, together with the correct solu
tions.
Q. How will we know what the cor
rect answer is?
A. The correct solutions to each of
the pictures will hr published in The
Georgian at the close of the contest. Hold
a duplicate to all answers you send in
and compare them with the ones in The
Georgian.
