through Joy car, have led to the critticism that the organization may soon bring out a Strength through Joy tail-coat. Since the above was written, Dr. Ley has announced a plan for furthering sport participation of the workers on a competitive basis. In August and September of this year there will be held throughout Germany what will be called a "sport rally." A three-event competition is envisaged, consisting of a steeple-chase, throwing of the medicine bail, and a 1000-meter relay race, the matches being held on a team basis. The various factories will be called to make up as many teams as possible from among their workers, these teams then competing against each other for the honor of representing the factory. Intra-factory competitions will later take place for the regional or Gau championship. An interesting feature is that the championship will not be determined by team performance alone but also on the basis of the proportional representation of all of the workers in each factory in the initial training matches. This device is chosen to meet the objection mentioned above that intra-factory competition may some time result in too much attention being paid to an individual team to the detriment of other sport participants. |
