The benefit in athletics, said Mr, Miller, is the instilling of the qualities which o to further success in the future. & bést athletes are those who have perfect control, mentally, physically and morally, Mr, Miller said he is a great devo- tee of -track running, as that is one of the best forms of athietic: training. Another reason why he Dbelieves so strongly in track running is that it does not requirg as much time to train in that line asiin other lines, such as baseball, football tete. In track rac- ing every man has to depend. upon himself. Mr. Miller said he entered athletics” through . cross country run- ning. He covered a hilly course three RS his t “ice first race was on an indc ¥ 4 a few months latér he again ram, com- ing in third.

Mr. Miller spoke of the remarkable records being made by H. B. Finley, a particular friend of his, who, al- though but 17 years old weighs 168 pounds and is nearly six feet .tall Finley is an all around athlete and his fature in athletics looks very prom- ising. Other runners were also re- ferred to by the speaker, including high school boys who are prominent in_athletics. In concluding his talk Mr. Miller said he was willing to answer any questions that might be asked of him regarding track racing, and a num- ber were asked. In answer to one question he said the fastest time he ever made was 2.05 for a half mile and to another question asked he said he always planned to get at least eight hours sleep while training.
