Synopsis
Excerpt from Parallel Bar Exercises
The Editor of this booklet firmly believes that the standard of gymnastic competition in the A. A. U., the A. L. N. A. Inter collegiate and Interscholastic teams can be very much improved by having set exercises rather than the present method, which' consists of three elective exercises: Firstly, because of the extreme difficulty in judging elective work. It is hard to hnd three judges all of whom place the same relative value upon a complicated gymnastic feat. Very often the competitor is not given proper credit for the work performed; and again, the per former oftentimes places too much value on his special exercise. At any rate, there is much wrangling, and this tends to retard the popularity of this sport.
Secondly: The member of a gymnastic team must specialize too much; must confine himself to one piece of apparatus in order to properly compete with a specialist. In doing this, he very often loses sight of the all around work.
