 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.
