captain told the coach and teammates ho was sorry and hac learned a lesson ho would
never forget. The boy had not forgotten and as he told me about the expericnece

The physical education teacher is dealing with more powerful desires
and wants than other teachers, and for this reason his actions make a more powerful
impressione Tho activities of physical education make it possible for the teacher
of these activities to see the pupils under different circumstances than other
teacherse If you want to learn the roal character of an individual, play with
him -- play golf or tennis -- go camping -- watch him under tension. Under these
oircumstances players and teachors learn to know much more about each other then

should. The result is that the history teacher must pass John so that Po-dunk can
be beaten. The result is that John is taught how to kmce an opponent so as to
remove the Po-dunk star from the gamoe John is taught how to trip, how to slug,
how to push without getting caught.e In short, John is learning nogative character
by a very powerful method. Character is caught from the action of this teacher
who is a victim of a mis~guided publice

Me Ve Thisted, in a study called "Collego Alumni Evaluate Intor~oollog=
{ate Athictics", found that men who had graduated from professional schools who
had participated in basketball and football enjoyed a larger income than non-
athletese He also found that those who played on teams that lost more games than
they won onjoyed a greater income than those who played on teams that won more
games than they lost. It soems that the boys who had the charactor to play in
spite of being on a losing toam had the charactor traits necessary to produce
the larger incomce
