Haig Patigian, another Californian, did a bust of Helen Wills which
he labeled "Helen of California", Helen Wills, Alice Marble, Patty Burg,
He len Jacobs ond Gertrude Ederlo-these versatile American women are contributing
definitely to athletics, to art and to literature, and, with all, toa finer
Amorioan womanhoode

Thus we begin to see that the games of American and their terminology
carry over from the athletic fields into the every day life of education, art
and literature, business and commercee Our great national leaders in speaking
to the masses in track terminology will say that every man to have a square deal
must have an even start, a stimulating race, and a fair finish. If using baseball
terminology hoe will say, "that you have got to hit the ball". If football, he
will say, “smash that line". And if basketball, he will tell you that too many
fouls defeat youe If he prefers boxing terminology he will tell you, "that you
have got to learn to take it." You may be able to put it out, but you have got
to take it to stay in tho ring.

We can thank plays and games for the symbol of the 12-year old American
boy with a baseball bat across his shoulder. How differently we look across the

ocean and see the symbol of the 12-year old European boy with a musket across

his shoulder.
