COLLEGE ATHLETES
MUST TAKE CARE
Dr. Dixon Says Overindulgence
in Athletics Is Bad For
Folks in Later Years
College athletics are all right in
their way, but people should take caro
not to allow habits formed in sport
at college or High school to work into
! their daily life. Proper exercise is
essential, but there is danger of over
strain. This is the opinion of Com
missioner of Health Dixon. In one
of his hygiene talks Dr. Dixon says:
Many a boy and girl entering col
lege dreams not alone of success as
students, but are anxious to gain rec
ognition for athletic achievements.
To warn the woung is like casting
water on burning oil and yet it were
well for the students who contemplate
severe training to seriously consider
as far as possible their probable oc
cupation through life and if it is to
be sedentary they should refrain from
hard competitive athletics which will
develop the muscles 1o a degree that
cannot be kept up by the successful
lawyer, doctor, teacher, or the ma
jority of those engaged in business.
Over-training in youth is almost
certain to result in physical deteriora
tion in after years. The full value of
athletics is obtained by the individual
who achieves a rational all around
development. Such a training is far
more apt to stimulate one in after life
to continue those athletic exercises
which are available to the business
and professional man or woman.
No occupation should prevent the
student or the professional man from
taking a reasonable amount of out
door exercise daily. If nothing else
a good swinging walk, say five to ten
miles a day in the open air will al
ways prove beneficial not only dur
ing youth but to a less degree in old
age.
The young woman who goes in for
athletics should be particularly care
ful. If indulged in to a reasonable
extent under the supervision of a
properly trained director of athletics,
exercises and sports of a not too vio
lent character will be a benefit.
Over-exertion is apt to Incur a ser
ious penalty with either sex but is
perhaps more harmful for women
than men.
The fact should be kept in mind
that exercise is a means to an end and
properly indulged in it should stimu
late the body and re-act healthily on
the process of the brain.
For the college man or woman this
is the practical side of athletics and
the one which should be kept in mind.
