The climax of the Sports Festival 

 came during the Friday afternoon pro- 

 gram with tlie playoff of a number of 

 colorful final events, the crowning of 

 the Queen of .Sport and the introduc- 

 tion of her court of six. and the j)resen- 

 tation of the trophies by Queen Beatrice 

 Mayer and Sports Festival committee 

 chairman Otto Steffey. 



Contestants from several counties 

 were surprised at tlie final standings 

 l)v districts because some counties which 

 appeared weak in the s|)orts division 

 amassed enough points in the folk festi- 

 val to give them stronger standing. It 

 should be borne in mind that points in 

 both divisions have equal value. The

fact that only one-third of the counties 

 take part in the folk festival gives many 

 of the counties weaker in the sports 

 division a chance to score heavily in 

 the folk festival division. You score 

 )ioints iiy just taking part. Hemember 

 that when you get ready for next year's 

 S|)orts Festival, the music festival points 

 count too. so plan to have entires in the 

 folk festival as well as the sports di- 

 vision next year. It pays off in [joints.
