I do not believe there is any royal road to success as an athlete any more than there is to others in everyday life.

I can hardly express in words my deep feeling and sympathy for them, knowing as I do, the many serious handicaps and obstacles that will confront them in almost every walk of life.

Each great athlete must some day bow to that perennial old champion, Father Time, even as I, for Time eventually wins.

These rules may seem simple enough, but it will require great morale and physical courage to adhere to them. But if carried out in the strict sense of the word it will surely lead to a greater success than could otherwise be attained.

I would advise all youths aspiring to athletic fame or a professional career to practice clean living, fair play and good sportsmanship.

It is my thought that clean living and a strict observance of the golden rule of true sportsmanship are foundation stones without which a championship structure cannot be built.

The moral turpitude of the boys of today appears to center in their failure to concentrate on any particular objective long enough to obtain their maximum results.
