| I certainly do not agree thet track work would handie
eap basketball playing at alle i have always insisted that
as long as a boy is able to keep up with his ecadenic work
that he be permitted to participate in tek or hawketnal.,
oF as See or even football and basketball.

I think At is @ detrimental thing for a coash to tell
a boy thet one sport will injure him for another sports I
do ‘not believe in this policy. |

OF cigiaing tle tank SE aaa aceetees aie eed
differant. Srutus femilton, his cosdch et the University of
Kansas during his sophomore year, told Glem that he was
too creat a track man to indulce in football end basketballs
He was a fine player in both. I think in this case » with
a prodigy lie Glem Cumninghem, it is better to be a world
champion in one eport than te battle along in every sport,
but again a fellow could argu on both sides of the questions

Scuetimes there is more fim in competing in high school
and college svorts as an undergraduate then ean be had from
