Their Trojans were feted by proud townspeople the other day. after victory over California's Santa Ana Junior Col lege in the Little Rose Bowl. The Trojan coach told hometowners their team wouldn't have won it Pasadena had not a bandy-leggsd little halfback named Benny Scott (125 pounds) been the greatest com I petitor on the field that day. To I clinch a victory the little scatback whirled 80 yards through the eu- tire California .team in one of the iinost sensational punt returns in I the bowl's history, fi escribing this d otSer-hrHls of the game tffleir coach said: "Ev- pry one of our boys is a great com pettor. All have splendid character and play cleanly. But they love to win. They work hard in practice and play fiercely to win. It is this spirit of individual competition, moulded into team play, that has, above all else, been responsible for our success." In Life Too Yes, America turns out fine com petitors on our athletic fields. Ev ery season the great competitors win games. Is it that way on the field of life, the longer range game? How about the pursuit of economic comfort and security? I'm afraid we may be losing the spirit of indi vidual competition in this vitally important arena, our workaday world. Consider labor-management relations, for instance. Both sides often fail to understand and make use of this spirit of individual competition which belongs to ev ery American. Management strives to find cap ital so it can build bigger and still bigger factories. Then batteries of huge machines and clanking as sembly lines seem to dwarf the in dividual worker and smother his tiny flame of individual competi tion. An employee of a big auto mobile factory may be one of the 350,000 workers scattered through a hundred plants. Not even his in itials shew'on the Bulck or Chrysler he helps produce. Sometimes a company's relationship with such a worker is distant and impenonal. No Celling, Please Unions, on the other hand, some times set standards on jobs ana waees that Permit little, if any outlet for individual competition, Rigid standards and codes that put limits on ability and productivity cast the Individual into a mould from which only an exceptional few rise. To standardize human ability Is a dangerous " practice. Moreover, ceilings on individual productivity are based on the .un sound theory of scarcity. In our nation's march of progress there can be no substitute for a constant ly rising productivity. Fortunately, in most of our in dustries there still is reward await ing the great competitor, awaiting even the good competitor. Varlou, forms of incentive for. Individual performances now are being offer ed. These are attracting the fav orable attention of more and more sound-thinking union leaders .and workers. And at Harding' Freedom Forums last year we heard several executives report on new employee relations programs that are. bring-, ing new understanding and warmer relationships into the labor-management picture. " Competition Under Fire Yet, in some quarters there is a trend away from the competitive idea. Some of our political plan-, ners and social reformers want to fit American workers into moulds and set their capacity of production by standards and limits like a ma chine's. Their plea is that the in dividual's competitive spirit must be sacrificed for the good of the masses. This is absurd. No clviliza tlon in history ever has benefited by holding down productivity. We got where we are today in America because our free enter prise system gives free rein to man's instinctive competitive spirit. It has been the wellspring of our progress. It gave us the atmosphere of competition that encouraged pint-sized Benny Scott to believe he could carry a punt 80 yards through 11 big Santa Ana tacklers at Pasadena and win the ball game for his Little Rock Trojans. If con tinued and encouraged, competitive enterprise will bring us all much higher standards. of living. Dr. H.W. Colwell OPTOMETRIST Eye Examined. Glasses Fitted.
