Excerpt from Practical Track and Field Athletics Again, there is the physical benefit that comes from a rational indulgence in outdoor sports. The whole tendency of athletics works for good. The athlete abstains from liquor and tobacco. He does not eat unwholesome food. Exercise, bathing, and rubbing down keep his body clean and healthy. At the same time his mind is filled with healthy, natural outdoor 1deals. He is not growing old too fast in an endeavor to rival the pathetic figure of the London gamin who says, I'm ten years old, but if yer goes by the things I know, I'm most a hundred.'
