In no realm of activity dees euotion play such a high part as it
does in athletics. The spectator is not a sane, logical,
person. He goes to the contest to give vent to his feelings, to re-
create himself and to forget the worries of this and that; therefore,
he becomes either a shouting, wild, fanatic, Se who picks

affairs of business or the profession.
