"Bracing" once or twice a year does not do a man any good if he is lazy, and earnest students do not need "bracing...
Therefore, let every man who has ever jumped or who has ever put the shot, enter the coming contest. All cannot win-what matter? All can help toward the grand result-winning the cup. Those who think they have no chance of winning here, will certainly, by the competition, oblige others to do better work. Quite possibly the unlikely ones may turn out the best. You never know what you can do till...
