There was no such thing as or ganized athletics in the United States or England before the middje of the last century. The hrst con test between Oxford and Cambridge was held in 1864. For a long per iod the keen desire of every normal boy has been to excel in athletics, to run faster, to jump higher, or rlay games with more skill and vigor than his companions. The time spent in athletics was often re garded as time lost, but the spirit of the young finally conquered the old fashioned ideas. Today men realize that athletics form just as essential a part of man's education as books. The school or college athlete usu ally learns that playing the game means more than just winning. It means representing your class or your school in everv wav. It means be- " - r ing a good student as well as a good athlete. In fact, the very best ath letes are boys and men who have developed their brain power. When you go into a game with a healthy desire to win it gives zest to the game. You can, however, carry this spirit too far. It may result in forgetting the true spirit of fair j. lay, and it may lead to exercise strenuous enough to injure your health. In the last few years girls and women have begun to take an interest in athletics. Today women play al most all of men's games. Examina tions, as 'a result, show improved physical conditions. Athletic games help the students to build up their minds, help them to have healthy bodies, and help them to take defeat as well as win ning, for you can not expect to suc ceed every time, and help them to show a true spirit of fair play. Many of the great lessons of life came from the games we play in youth. The great healthiul games are those that are played out of doors. As the philosophy of James says, "Seek first the kingdom of out cf-doors, and you will find health and pleasure there". One of the first rules of James is to lay the foundation of a full and splendid manhood, and we should keep this, as one of the mottoes of our school life. We should play a game for its own sake, and not spoil the spirit of a true game, or lowering the honor of true manhood, by playing it for money. If a game is not interesting itself we should leave it alone. We would break the great rule of "Fair play" by playing for a baser motive than the pure love of the game. Play the game for the game, and for nothing but the game. Our own games are our own lessons in noble things. No Amer ican boy can be healthy and whole and yet miss the laws of honor. The laws of honor should ring In every school, should be blazoned as in letters of fir,e over every play ground They are among the oldest things in the world, they will last as long as the human race stands. In the old en days when men's sense of honor was twisted, so that only a duel cou?d satisfy it, a man would not take a mean advantage of his enemy he was about to kill. He would mea sure sword with him to see that he had as good a chance as he, and the fight was fair. We must think of the game and not of ourselves. The game is lost I if one member of the team seeks his own glory. The unity of all for a single cause, each player playing his or her own part, is a condition without which no game is won. All the players go into the game with zeal, and surrender themselvse to obedience to the law that holds the team together. These laws will fin ally become natural in eveTy game we play. We should be loyal and true so that our comrades will be able to rely on us. We should be good losers, we should yield with grace and cheer fulness to a victory or defeat, leave quarreling to meaner souls, and not spoil the game by claiming doubt ful points or insisting on little rights. We should be willing to lost a hundred games than win one by unfair playing. When the time comes, as it comes in all games when nobody could see if your play were unfair, you will be glad to know that your loyalty is above suspicion. Sir Phillip Sidney, a brave Eng lish knight, was fighting m the Netherlands, helping the Dutch in their struggle for liberty against the tyrant, Phillip of Spain. In a fierce battle he was struck by a musket ball, which broke his thigh-bone. Thirsty and faint from the loss of blood, he called for wa ter. He had just raised the cup to his lips, when his eye fell upon a poor dying soldier who looked long ingly at the cool drink. Without so much as tasting it, Sir Phillit) handed the cup to the poor fellow with these words: Thy need is greater than mine.
