Places Victory Secondary
Stressing the importance of a parent's relation to his boy and the value of fellowship, Coach Hargies said without doubt that he was winning with victory secondary.
"Practically every boy is a hero worshirer," he said in pointing out the fact that every man ought to be careful of what he does because he loses it. He humorously illustrated how boys are of an imitative nature when he told of a bad kid, when asked by a barber how he wanted his hair cut, "just like 'Bll Hargairs'$. It will be hard for Coach Cahr to hold back."
"One of the greatest privileges a man can have," he continued, "is to be a father of a boy and to work with that boy. My experience in working with children is in the grades and high school ages. The Boy Scout program has done more than any other organization in 'strengthening' and building the character of boys. Since they were not likely to have little pride with him."
From a coach's standpoint, almost everybody has the play instinct. Supervision and correct training have the ability to perform a physical and athletic skill, be said.
