“We should take our games in earnest,” runs an article entitled “Sport and Life,” in the December issue of the “St. Andrew’s Collegian.” “There is something wrong with the boy who does not play games. But far too many take gambs too lightly, and are satisfied with. playing carelessly and indifferently. ‘Such players never improve and fail to get the real benefit out of a game. Weil played, football is an ideal game to 'turn out a man, and not an effeminated dandy. Cricket -real cricket, that is—likewise demands nerve, .fitness, and. sportsmanship. Genuine boxing is the severest of tests of manly courage and fitness. Tennis —not pat ball —is one of the most exhausting of modern games. Swimming, gymnastics, running and jumping, are all part of the road to robust and glorious manhood. We cannot afford to shirk them. Even if we do not really enjoy them all, we must (as Dr. Truby King insisted) play them as part of our training for life. We want manliness; and that means hard play.” The publication also contains the features usually found in school literature, and is well printed and illustrated, being in every respect well in line with previous numbers issued.
