Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 95, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 April 1920 — TURNER EXHIBITION COMING. [ARTICLE]

TURNER EXHIBITION COMING.

In reviewing the different divisons of College athletics we should not neglect the Turners. The caution were not necessary except that the character of the Turners’ work keeps them from stepping along with the prominence and popularity of basketball and baseball, and consequently renders them liable to our neglect. But primarily it is plain that this field of athletics has some other distinctions besides peculiarity. The horse, the parallel and. horizontal bars, are instruments of physical development in a direction not so effectively pursued'in any other form of athetics. The possibilities are even greater than we suppose, although it is not the aim of such training to make circus 1 clowns out of College boys. How-| ever, to those who have never seen the Turners perform, the agility, 1 the muscular prowess, so to speak,' displayed by youngsters never pected of such ability will come. as a pleasant surprise And the qualifications, after all, are' not ■ so far beyond the average boy that he cannot come out of the process of training in presentable condition. That fact should be an inducement for more students to ■ hand themselves over to the Direc- ( tor for inspection and the subse-1 quent drilling, I Many of the older members of the present squad have dropped through illness and other causes, leaving the success of the Turner exhibition of 1920 dependent mainly on the raw material now in action. But as like difficulties have been met and overcome in previous 'years, we may expect an evening of solid entertainment on April 21, when the Turners exhibit for ►the first time this year. A second exhibition will be staged the following' Sunday, April 25.—St. Joseph College Cheer.
