"An Athletic Anthology is a collection of poems and short prose articles relating to athletics. Basketball, football, track and the other sports furnish some of the most colorful episodes of modern life. Some of the enthusiasm and school spirit that attends these contests has been cautht in the material in this volume. In many of the articles the principal, coach, player or fan will find his own experiences depicted. In some, the names of his own team or players of his acquaintance might easily be substituted and be made to fit the situation described."
