...track team, to be successful, depends on long and careful development. In no other field is there so much opportunity for improvement by dint of plain, hard work. Moreover, no time is so propitious for such work as are the long, empty winter months. The whole paraphanalia of organized athletics is at the disposal of the candidate.
