TOO MUCH TIME ON SPORT

MOTION DEFEATED AT YMCA.

LIVELY DEBATE

By a majority of four votes only did the opposition win the day at the monthly debate of the Y.M.C.A., Literary and Debating Society yesterday, when the motion "That wo spond too much time on Sport", was submitted.

to

Mr. J. II. Hunt proposed the motion, and urged that although everybody appreciated the necessity of recreation, at the present time too much attention was being pald sport which should be given to more important and more serious subjects. In addition there were hundreds of thousands of people who either indulged in betting er merely stood and watched games, who called themselves sportsmen, yet quite a number of them had probably never been seen on the sports field. To-day the tendency was to think and read too much about sport, with the result that the subject occupied practically all of the minds of the majority of people.

ACCIDENTS RARE.

Does any fast bowler worry about his opponent? He does not try, if he be a man, to lay out his adversary and see him carried to the dressing room. There have been very few serious accidents at cricket. Happily they are very rare indeed, and they should be because the hatsman has a weapon not only to hit the ball and protect the wicket but to guard himself.
