1 he success of the initial I arm Sports 

 lestixal which may he claimed hy its 

 s|->onsors without undue immodesty is 

 due in large measure to the lact that it 

 was a real co-operative enterprise in 

 which all leading agricultural groups in 

 Illinois played an important part. The 

 publicity given it hy the I. A A.. I'raine 

 larmer, radio stations WLS, WMUD. 

 WnZ. the ( hampaign News Cia/ette and 

 hundreds ot other downstate newspapers 

 and radio stations; the work of the ( ham- 

 paign C^ounty Farm Bureau, the Univer- 

 sity of Illinois athletic, physical plant 

 and .igricultural departments; the en- 

 thusiastic support of some 60 C!ounty 

 I'arm Bureaus, the local associations of 

 commerce, the unselfish hard work of 

 countless committees and judges, and last 

 but not least the weather man, all figured 

 prominently in the final result. 



No easy task was that of organizing 

 the Softball tournament, getting umpires. 

 scorekcepcr.s, diamond managers, and 

 Scheduling teams which was ably handled 

 by Roy Johnson, and W. W. Brown of 

 the L'ni\ersity athletic department. Di- 

 rector of staging, property and cijuip- 

 ment was I'rank Ciingrich who contacted 

 the proper authorities and contributed 

 nukh toward the orderly procedure of 

 the two day program. 



The job of assembling the names ot 

 winners and their records was a difficult 

 one at best with so many contests going 

 on at the same time. There was some 

 difference of opinion about the final score 

 of the farm advisers - I. A. A. staff soft- 

 ball game won handily by the advisers. 

 The score was i to 3 or si to 3 depend- 

 ing on how you figure or when you 

 stopped counting. 



\'ice-president Talmage Del-recs did a 

 good job of presiding and officially open- 

 ing the .Sports I'estival in the absence 

 of Presiilent liarl Smith. Iriday night. 

 Mr. Smith was unavoiiiably detained 

 along with Dean .\Iumford and others at 

 President Roosevelt s drouth conference 

 in Springfield. Pike county, Mr. Smith's 

 home county had the largest delegation of 

 any coming a like distance. More than 

 lO from Pike took part in the contests 

 and double that number attended.

 ment will be found elsewhere . The win- 

 ners of other contests based on intorma- 

 tion supplied by committees in charge
