Vorlvingr out a complete nw system
Xf athletics In the training camps of
the United States Army, a. plan by
which the interest of all enlisted men,
rather than the few, is to be aroused,
A. At. Grilley, associate secretarv of the
Kational War Work Council of the
Y. M. C. A., In charge of recreation and
physical activities, is planning- to put
this into effect with the assistance of

A, SI. Grilley. of Portland, In
Charge of Athletics in Western
Military Camps.
Army officers and association seere
taries in all the larger training camps
on ine ticinc uoast.
"Heretofore," asserts Mr. Grilley,
w hose headquarters are in San Francisco
where he is directing; the work under
the supervision and at the request of
K. A. McCarl. executive secretary for
the Western department, "it has always
been that athletics were undertaken by
a few' stars, men who had especial abil
lty in their line and who were capable
or making; new records or equaling old
ones. The average men. unable to com
pete with these stars, were compelled
to become spectators. To my way of
tmnmng tnis is all wrong. t hav
evolved a plan by which I hope to inter
est whole companies of enlisted men
li enjoying athletic sports, to make it
a pleasure for them tq get into Ua
Kaine.
Over 100,000 Soldiers Interested.
Mr. Grilley has been director of physl
eal education at the Portland Young
Men's Christian Association for 15
years. Because of his success in the
work In that institution he was called
upon by the National WTar Work Coun
oil of the Y. M. C. A. to supervise the
athletic activities in the great train
ing camps on the Pacific Coast. Mr.
Grilley will put his plan in operation
at Camp Kearny, Linda Vista, where i
Is expected that over 30,000 men will
be assembled, at Camp Fremont, where
it is believed close to 45,000 men will
be stationed, and at the great draft
camp at American Lake, Wash., Camp
Lewis, where over ,000 men called
to the colors will get their first mill
tary experience.
In each of these encampments much
attention will be paid to physical exer
cise. The Army Is anxious to co-oper
ate with the Y. M. C. A. in this work
and there is assuranee that every aid
will be rendered in supporting the
movement which Mr. Urllley has in
augurated and which is believed to be
on lines that will bring success.
Aim I" to Make Better Men.
The trouble with a man who is back
ward in atnlei.es," 1 jserts Mr. Grilley,
is that lie lacks the Knowledge of ath
letics and consequently lacks in teres
sufficient to take part in them. He
feels that the other fellow is so much
better than he could ever hope to be
that he would appear foolish if he
tried to compete with him. Jle is right
in this to a certain extent. He would
stand little chance if he "ied to com"
pete with men of this class, but he
Won't be competing with these men. He
will be .earning how o do the stunts
that the other fellow does and when
be learns them he will enjoy doing
them and when he enjoys it he will con,
tlnue to do tin stunts and he will be
acquiring strong muscles and health
and all that goes with them. He will
cut better, sleep better and be a better
soldier."
