Are athletics all right? Do they
hinder or help the school? Are they
harmful or beneficial to the partici
pants? When the school runs the
sports, they are all right. . When the
sports run the school, they are all
wrong. Studies should always come
before athletics. If, in order to have
sports, a school must sacrifice part
of its output of knowledge to the
students, " athletics should be elimin
ated. Athletics teach the school boy
and girl good sportsmanship and
give them a source of recreation.
There is no doubt that sports de
velop a person both mentally and
physically. They teach one to think
clearly and act quickly, and urge the
student to put forth better efforts in
different studies to keep, or become,
eligible. Of course there is always
the chance of athletics tearing a per
son down more than they build him
up; perhaps the player isn't healthy
enough to stand the vigorous exer
cise and exciting moments pffered in
sports. A person who is not in ex
cellent physical condition should not
participate in sports of any kind.
There is also the danger of getting
injured, especially in football. Slight
painful injuries occur frequently but
it is very seldom that a person . is
seriously injured in sports. When
athletics do not hinder school work
they are a good thing for a perfect
ly healthy person.- Sports develop
him physically and mentally; teach
him good sportsmanship; and give
him a source of recreation arid en
joyment. ): .'
