The Bloclc G Club sTrives TirsT To sTimulaTe proper respecT Tor The block an aThleTe wears and secondly iT Tries To inTluence all boys To enTerlinTo sporTs in an eTTorT To win a leTTer. The wearing OT an award on a sweaTer sTamps a boy as an aThleTe, buT his acTions and aTTiTude are whaT marlc him as a man.
