The photographs of W. L. Anderson and Bellis, facing pages [440] and [442], show, on the other hand, two athletes whose characteristic build is indicative of ability as gymnasts. More graceful in form, with smaller joints, and less heavy musculature, these men, at the time the photographs were taken, were in the pink of condition, and in a high degree of training for their special fields of athletic work. Emphasis should be laid upon the fact that at the time these two photographs were taken, the men in question had not commenced to lower their daily amount of proteid food. These two photographs are introduced especially to illustrate the general physical makeup of the men belonging to the group of University athletes made use of in the experiments.
