December 14, 1928 Spo.rts and Other Three-Way M olive Behind Children's Sport Com·petition By Dudley C. Stone Loyalty, promptness, and reliability are just a few of the ess.e ntials of citizenship taught to the public school children by the staff of the Wilmette" Playground and Recreation board in its after school program. Each individual boy and girl from the fifth to the eighth grade, inclusive, has an opport~mity to participate in at least the eight regqlar leagues that the board offers. In these leagues 'he teams come from each room. The children in this way are loyal to three thmgs, their team, their room, and their school. They show their loyalty to their captain and team by appearing when a game is scheduled for them. They show it to their room by playing to win for it, and to their school by fighting to win from other opponents to give a team in their school a chance for a championship, even if they themselves are out of the running. Example of Loyalty An example of this school loyalty was shown in the football season just past. St. joseph eighth grade and Stolp SA grade tied in the league. Stolp 8C had been eliminated and hadn't a chance for the championship. The last game of the season 8C was scheduled with St. joseph. Although they had shown themselves as strong as their opponents all through the season and had many defeats to their credit, the members of SC .played foothall that they hadn't dreamed they could play, far over their heads, and put their opponents out of the way, ~nd gave the championship to their schoolmates, SA. Train~ng in promptness comes· from appearing for the games on the hour for which they are scheduled. The games arc ~tarted as soon as two teams arc ready to play and if they arc not ready by a certain time a forfeit re~ults. Two or three forfeits for an entire season are unusual. As for reliability, an observer who could sec the teams report for game~ in rain, mud, and all kinds of weather, can reildily understand that the children are as reliable as collegiate teams who must play before audiences because seats have been sold for that game. Often teachers have arguments on tl}eir hands when dates for games coincide with trips to the Art Institute or other edtlkational tours. It is a common occurcnce for music lessons and dancing classes to be missed or changed because of a football game. Play Cl~n and Hard These young citizens are trained to play the game clean and hard, play it when it should be played, and, in as far as it is in their power, to play it as it should be played. The most en couraging feature of the athletic program conducted by the BQard for the children is that win or lose, the va-· rious teams start the succeeding league with as mucll enthusiasm as they had at th~ beginning of the first league. ever ready to give their all for their team in the next league.
