the orange cover the entire arca of the
tongue * thereby stimulating the gastric
and biliary flow. These juices will aid
digestion and will assist in eliminating
constipation,

Water. Athletes should drink an aver-
age of one glass of water every hour,
except on game days, when they should cut
down to four glasses a/day. After the
games players should drink as much cool
water, never ice-cold water, as is consis-
tent with comfort,

The nervous and hungry type of ath-
lete who never gets enough to eat and
wants to eat between meals should try
drinking a glass of water evcry time he
craves food between meals. Vater will
appease this false hunger,

Sweets. In days now gone, athletes
were absolutely forbidden the use of
sweets. Now the trend is toward discre-
tion rather than abstinence. Candy,
when eaten discriminately after meals,
is an energy producer and should have a
definite place in a player's diet,

A Pregame Menu. The following meal
should be eaten at least two and one-
half hours before the game;

Sliced oranges, sprinkled with sugar,
and accompanied with cclery hearts,
Two slices hot dry toast, butter, and a

small cup of honey.
One cup of weak tea with sugar and lem-
on or cream.
In very exceptional cases, if the team
has’ been subjected to unusual hardships
of travel, a small piece of broiled
T-bone steak (2 in. squarc) may be added
to this menu.

Bear ever in mind the
values of.contentment. A mind at peace
with itself does not get stale. A
squad talented in singing and playing
rarely suffcrs from staleness. Group
singing is @,groat harmonizer and a
developer of the finer qualities of com-
radeship.

Contentment.

It is a splendid plan for a team to
eat the last moal before a game where
they can hear gcod music. This meal
does not strengthen the players much
physically. Its best feature is in
the contentment it might bring. .

NATIONAL ORGANIZATION PASSES RESOLUTICN
The American Association for Health, Phys-
ical Education, and Recreation has adcpiad
the following resolutions The facts pre-
sented in this resolution should cause a
lot of thought:

"Inasmuch as the junior high pupils are
in the midst of the period of most rapid
growth, with the consequent bodily wouk-
nesses and maladjustments, partial ossifi-
cation of bones, mental and emotional
stresses, physiological readjustments and
the like,

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED; That leaders
in the ficld of physical education should
do all in their power to discourage intor-.
scholastic competition at this age level
because of its strenuous nature.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That where
school systems continue to foster a pro-
gram of interscholastic sports componition
for junior high schools, they be urged ic
limit it to pupils who are physiolivgicals:
mature as measured by X-ray picturns of
the degree of carpal bone ossification,
advanced chronological age plus teard
growth, or some other such indication of
physiological maturity,"
