No "Sport For Sport's Sake."
Berlin, December 19."
between close connection
mian sport has now returned to its' 19th century character, except for the fact that colossal stadiums have taken the place of the public-houses
Herr Teste is of the opinion that despite the intensive mechanisation of modern warfare,
and the well-titüined body
the steel-hardened nerves are ; needed
sport and military defence in Nazito serve the machine. Germany is frankly admitted in "Physical Training for Military Defence," a brochure written by Hermann Taske, sports teacher in an army school pear Berlin
"The aim of all physical train- ing was and always will be:
"German Wehrhaftigkeit“
Te
cruits," he goes on, are to be led away from the poisonous idea of sport for sport's sake, which doesn't fit in with the Nazi el- tanschauung. All German sport must have a purpose."
To understand this attitude it 19 necessary to know the history of German athletics. During the past century, after the Prussian defeat of 1806 German sport, mainly of the athletic and gym- nastic order, was in the hands of the "Turn-Vereins," who met in the back rooms of public-houses.: Their activities had a patriotic, nationalist favour.
Such games as football, says Herr Tesko, are especially good as preparation for real fighting in war. "Football," he says, "has become a national game. There Is not a village or town in Ger- many which does not possess on Its outskirt a green between two goal-posts.
"What the young peasant and the factory worker learns there in ing tactical movements, atting the evening game-running, jump- into the team, and above all,. Oghting--all this is just what an Infantryman needs in the battle."
Herr Teske adds player's part in a football team is in reality equivalent to his part in an infantry fighting squad.
