Mr.. Ernst, with the suDJecI, Com

better When with team work. FOR
the same reason there are men 5
clubs that eat together once 4 week
for the development OF cooperative
eam Work. Boxing, wrestling and
Fencing are one-man teams, while
dramatic, glee, and orchestra clubs
and baseball, BASKET ball and football
teams are greater factors IN the de-
velopment OF the working together OF
community spirit.
All then rose to greet Mayor Har-
vey upon his being introduced to
speak upon the social Value OF
Competition" His talk was surely
appreciated for the fine quality in its
developing a mode of living and doing
for citizens by widening the personal
partnership. The experience in COM
petition OF a player on q team is OF
value, not so much for oneself, but
IN doing representative fighting fol
the other men on the team and all
interested in the team, whether club
or institution. 1t is only then that he
does the best in him. The most i'm
portant thing in a college is to learn
team work, fol it is the greatest fac
tor III life and in success. A man SO
learns to be dependable ana to be
counted upon to refuse to take a
mean advantage Of another.
Thus, athletics build charactel
physically and mentally, in the strug-
gle for life, which is all too short fOI
US to even make good in Ii jobs.
Responsibility must be recognized III
citizenship, the role OF which is be-
coming greater and greater establish
ed and useful in the leadership OF
affairs. In this very thing every
thing every mar is giving a hold in
the control Of the standing of the
United States.
Then athletics are the best mea d:
for the development OF individuals to
serve the State and country with
vigor and strength of baseball, basket
ball, and football. In closing all were
invited as welcome visitors any time

Joseph Crockett then took the floor
and presented George Hollett, of Will
mington, with a splendid white
sweater as an appreciation of his
square and fearless decisions in ref
ering basket ball at the Y. NJ. c. A.
for the two past seasons. Mr.. Hollett
then spoke a few words of apprecla-
ton.
The next speaker was C. L.
Streeter, director of the mechanical
department at the dye works, and he
gave just credit to Joe" Crockett fol
his work and the worthiness of back
ing him at the "Y." Some statistics
of gym classes were read, showing
great attendance, but it was added
that Crockett desired it to be still
greater. Mr.. Crockett was stated to
be taking up teaching of safety work
at the schools and that children are
showing its benefit in the homes.
A vocal solo was ~splendidly sung by
Robert Beckett. 1t vas entitled

enjoyed.
