Admittedly, Mayor Bradley is just one example of how a boy escaped a possible life m the streets because he was motivated through athletics to gam an education and eventually poltical success. But hundreds of thousands of young men have been able to trade their athletic skills and energies for educations, which have enabled them to take a better place in society than they may have aihiev ed w ithout this stimulus. The ounce of prevention which is better than the pound of cure could be used to justify athletic competition as against the costs of rehabilitation. that makes it all worthwhile in my book Observation Ward when Mickey Mantle broke Babe Ruths all-tirecord for most career strike outs.

But you measure the cost of intercollegiate athletics against the cost of correctional work in juvenile courts, detention homes, the old reform schools, the jails, penitentiaries and narcotic wards and the expenditure for athletics is a good bargain.
