The Y. M. C. A, which sponsors the church athletic association, other leadérs and ' ministers are ready with replies to sich questions. First of all, they will tell you that the very fact that the “Y” and the churches support . athletics so extensively is an indication that they develop character and church growth, : And the churches and the “Y” will point ofit the following slogan seen. conspicuously bon the athletic association’s| stationery: “Building Boys Is Better Than Mending Men." To play basketball - within the church athletic association, you must attend Sundayischool at least 50 per cent of the time. That’s the rule and it's enforced. To keep youth interested in church activities when the basketball season is over, the church association also sponsors softball. Other sports in high favor are swimming, tenris, badminton,

Rood Heads Class

An outstanding example of a church athletic program is that carried on by the TU. B. Builders class under the direction of E. J. Rood in the First “United Brethren church. Mr, Rood told a Bibie story to a hand full of youngsters on the curbstone in front of the First Church one Sunday nine years

which played as many as 13 games in one evening. The games were sometimes distributed between seven spots in the city with Mr. Rood wishing he could be in all seven at once,

‘Good Sportsmanship’

Solidarity, ‘fellowship, fair play, clean - living, a competitive spirit with the interest of the individual submerged. in that of the team are some of the essentials of good sportsmanship which the church athletic - association strives® to develop. Those interested point out that the connection between athletics and religion is obvious since the qualities of the true sportsman and the good churchman are one and the same. The church athletic association is just three years old. Before it came into existence, anybody could join any team whether he attended the church school under whose name it operaied or not. That's all changed now. The “Y” has divided the city into central, north, northeast and east districts for sports, with the following “Y” staff members, respectively, in charge: Vernon Parker, Floyd Wilson, Henry Miller and Car} Alford. Leagues are conducted in the districts under the sponsorship of a district board.

Controls Tournaments

Tournaments, on the other hand, come under the direct jurisdiction of the church athletic association which includes representatives of all the districts. The best players in the leagues compete in the tournaments for the county championships. Association officers are Herman Hoffmeister, president, the Rev. Leon Weatherman, vice president; E. R. Hallock, secretary; Gene Aldrich, treasurer, and Mr. Rood, registrar. The Southeastern Union won the junior series, for boys up to 15 years of age, and the First U. B. Five, the intermediate event for boys up to 17, in the tournaments conducted by the M. C. €C. A. A. this week in the First . Preshyterian church. The tournament for seniors will open March 9. In addition to the sports of the Protestant churches, there is a full program carried on also by the Catholic Youth organization.
