N.Z. AND SPORT
i MAJORITY HOWL AND DO NOTHING SAYS ARCHBISHOP Christchurch, Saturday. , Direct criticism of the New Zealand people's devotion to sport was -expressed by Archbishop Julius in an address at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Sunlight League. "I believe the tendency to break frecords and the conduct of sport does not advance in cur young people the ,things we have most at heart," declared the Archbishop. "A great deal of our sport — I am not running it down, because I value it — means simply this, that a few fellows are highly trained to play the game and the rest sit around and howl and •think they are learning something, -whereas, actnally, they learn nothing and do nothing. So it is with recordbreaking. .The few manage it, but the poor, dull and slow ones are left — -as I was left — at the bottom of the school."
