WAR HITS SOCCER CLUBS
Aston Villa and Bolton Wan
derers Lose Much Money.

London, April 1.-THE disastrous
effect Of the war on the finances of
the leading football clubs are Just
coming to light. That the majority Of
the clubs have suffered severely has
long been self-evident from the re-
duced attendances at the league games.
but the statements just issued by two
clubs which have the biggest following
in GENERALIZATION Villa and Bolton
Wanderers-only show what can be ex-
pected when the smaller and weaker
league clubs send out their reports.
Aston Villa has had a particularly
unhappy experience, as, in addition to
It's loss in revenue, il was in the midst
OF extensive and expensive alterations
to its ground when the war broke out.
Up to date $4,000 less than last year
has been taken in gate money, and a
loss Of 100000 on the seasons working
will have to be faced Bolton Wan
derers are SAL 800 behind last seasons
gate receipts, which results in the big
loss of 5000 being made to date.
That all contracts with players, dates
for league and international games
have been held over until August
was mainly responsible TO the chair
men of these two clubs, who both de-
clared that If the war is not over by
September Il would be the height Of
folly financially to continue profess
sional football

CLAY BIRD TITLE
IS OPEN TO WOMEN
Fair SharpshoOters May
Enter at TraVers ISL
and May /.

There has been considerable talk
among trap shooters regarding the ad-
visibility Of allowing women to take
part iu the national amateur cham
pionship at clay birds, which IS TO be
held al Travers Island on May !.
Il has been contended that women on
the firing line slows up a squad and in
terferes with the gunners Of the
sterner sex in their quest for glory.
Gunners are human, and they are az
tected by the other members of squad
to an astonishing degree. One poor
shot in a squad has been known TO hurt
the scores of the other four gunners in
a remarkable way.
Although there is not woman ANA
teur in the country who has any chance
Of winning the title, II IS cOntended
that the women who would want to
shoot in the big event have enough
ability to warrant the New York Ath-
letic Club accepting their entries. Sev-
eral Of the fair sex are remarkably
good shots, as is shown by the work OF
Miss f. Marie Sinclair. Of New York,

Asked Fair Play
for Dachshunde

Mrs. A. Hungerford, of Bayshore'
Long Island, was determined that
the officials OF the Washington Ken
mel Club should observe strict neu-
traIity in the show held by them last
week. She had read OF how the
German dachshunde had been
abused in England and France since
the war began, and so sent the fo'-
lowing warning to the judges;
"Inasmuch as the German dsehS-
hunde have been downtrodden and
practically obIiterated from the
French and English dog shows since
the distressing European war; l
must request you to give my dachs-
hunde equal prominence at your
show with the more familiar but
none the less valuable canine types
the English bulldog and the French
poodle"
So far as known, Mrs. Hunger
ford's warning bore fruit. Anyhow,
no complaints have been heard.

Little Doubt on Heights That
Sport VIII Be Sanctioned
at Meeting on
Tuesday.

The most momentous of all questions
at Columbia -football- be decided
either for or against on Tuesday of
this week, when the university council
meets TO consider the plans presented
by the university committee on athlet-
les and the faculty committee or stu
dent organizations, which have recon-
mended the restoration of the game 20
Morningside Heights after al absence
OF nine years.
With the settling of the question as
L whether football will be played, Co
lumbia Will go about the solution Of the
other quite as important question Of
planning a campaign for next fall, when
il is confidently believed the Blue and
White will have its first eleven.
Although the fate Of the game was
turned over TO q committee Of the col
lege faculty six weeks ago and report
requested as TO whether football should
be restored under the restrictions laid
down, not an inkling OF what the fac
ulty did at its meeting late in March
has been forthcoming.
IL is believed however, that II the
faculty had decided against football the
matter would have been dropped when
the executive committee of the council
met last week 70 prepare a programme
for Tuesdays session. That such ac-
ton was not taken is attested by the
fact that the discussion of football is
the first subject on the schedule for the
council.
There seems 10 be little doubt on
the Morningside Heights campus that
the long period Of football starvation
is about 10 be brought TO an end. and
as n result plans have been maturing
quietly for q quick resumption OF the
game on as ambitious a scale as is pos
