Eg 17.50 Saturday, May 28, 1927 BURNT OUT ATHLETES A 'serious indictment of the American athletic system has recently .been made, with all courtesy, by two distinguished visitors from England. One is young Lord Burghley, the gifted hurdler from Cambridge University, who came over to participate in the annual track" meet held a few days ago in Philadelhpia under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania, says an esteemed contemporary. The other is Sir Herbert Barker, the celebrated "bloodless surgeon," or osteopath, whose sen-ices through manipulative surgery during the war aroused a storm of controversy with the regular medical profession in England and who was finally knighted as a form of public and official recognition. Lord Burghley charges that American participation in athletics is too intense, with the result that young athletes are "burnt out" before they reach the age at which they should be at their- best. Sir Herbert declares that the same process results in injuries to the heart and shortened lives. How queer women are! They see attractive in some men that the casual observer never notices. Tftere are two kinds of merchants in the world: those who advertise, and the dead ones. INDICTMENT PROBABLY CORRECT Some followers of American athletics will cherish a strong suspicion that the indictment which Sir Herbert brings is correct and will expect confirmation to come' from the statistical investigation into the after health and life experience of college athletes in which 'the Carnegie foundation is now engaged. Curiously enough, at the very time at which the two English visitors were making their criticism, the sporting pages were carrying comments' upon "Young" Stribling,. a prize fighter who, a few years ago, was hailed as the coming heavyweight champion because of his phenominal showing while still a boy in his teens, but who is now regarded as having passed his prime, when still under 25, because of having been "burnt out." It should, however, be said in defense of the American system of athletes development that this danger is more and more clearly recognized by athlete supervisors in our prparatory and public schools. One of the chief functions performed by the more intelligent among them is that of preventing youthful athletes from being betrayed by their own ambition into overexertion. There's hope for a man if you can spur him into madness but the self-satisfied smile of the man who knows everything is an indication of a lost soul. The factory that always seems to be working is the one where excuses are made. CURIOUS ACTION OF BRITISH LABORITES " From the rather meagre information supplied here it seems rather curious that the members of the Labor Party in Great Britain should' object to the action taken by the Government In checking the activities of the Russian Soviet. It would be an impossible thing to allow such a condition to continue. It would be like allowing a friend to visit your house and have him conspire to ruin your home. The natural thing would be to kick him out. That is what Britain did to the Sonet envoys. No matter if the Labor representatives of Beritain believed In the Soviet form of Government, in the need for a change in Britain or in the injustice of the present Tory Government of the United Kingdom, they could not believe in the methods of the conspirators who entered the country under a solemn agreement to abstain from propaganda and then set out to take advantage of their position in the country to conspire. True, the Laborites asked only for a full inquiry but a full inquiry is what the Gpvernment seems to have been making although of necessity it could not be a public inquiry. Canadians generally, we think, will agree with the British position. Women once had a reputation for being fickle but they are amateurs at the game compared with the weather. ; ; If you wish jto look big, get close to the camera. A -true! mirror may make you look so small that you will despise yourself. -J Fame is often a slunder. To be famous indicates a pandering to the admiration of the multitude.
