those which religiously observed the
entire set of resolutions. In the case
of teams playing each other, where one
refrained from taking any kind of pre-
liminary practice and another which
disregarded the suggestion, the results
were obviously unfair
The suggestion has been made at
several universities which felt them
selves thus unjustly treated that un-
less some binding action is taken it
will be advisable TO include clause in
football contracts whereby each insti-
tuition will bind itself not to begin pre-
llminary practice before a certain date.
This ought not TO be necessary among
self-respecting universities, but it may
be necessary to take some such action
against those institutions which were
a party TO the resolutions passed by
the National Collegiate Athletic Asso-
citation last summer, but which later
tiagrantly disregarded them.
Leroy Campbell, the famous half
mile runner OF the University Of Chi
cago, with mark of l:53%s, has raised
an interesting point in an article in
"ihe University of Chicago Magazine"
concerning the comparative merits as
quarter-mile runners of Ted Meredith.
of the University of Pennsylvania
who holds the world record of 472Z
seconds, and Binga Dismond, the negro
runner Of the University of Chicago.
who holds the Western Conference rec
crd for the same distance OF AZ 2-5 sec
onds. Campbell continually speaks of
the two men as 'ioint" holders of the
world record Of 4725 seconds.
In the opinion Of the writer this is
unfair, for the reason that Dismond
ran on a track which measured l8k
inches less than that on which Mere
9th ran. This discrepancy is due 10
the fact that the Western Conference
Association has declined TO amend its
track measurements in accordance with
the Olympic, A. A. U. and |. c. A. A.
A. A. rules. In other words, the Con-
ference Association still measures its
track Is inches from the pole, while
the other organizations referred 10
measure II inches from the pole.
Naturally, both the A. A. L. and the
]. c. a. A. A. A. refuse 20 recognize Dis
monds performance as world record.
No one can gainsay the fact that Dis
mond was wonderful runner and
should always be classed with Mere
dith and Maxey Long, but he ought not
TO be coupled with Meredith as
Joint" holder Of the world record, for
he is not.

With Athletics

ITHACA, n. Y. Dec. 15.-Cornell
will set the fashion in college athletics
FOR the winter and spring seasons TO
come unless one or more Of the big
universities allow their "informal
teams" to enter the intercollegiate
field rs varsity combinations, for it
has been decided az Cornell that no
schedule will be affected this year
through the wars presence. In so far
as all training camps encourage ath-
letics 70 the highest degree, the Cor
nell athletic authorities do not see
Why the university should not enter the
game in the same spirit.
For that reason Cornell will not cur
tail her track, basketball, baseball or
crew schedules unless the other col
leges Of the East with whom games are
70 be played so cut their sports that
Cornell cannot secure the necessary
number or kind OF games desired.
With the captain and two other men,
bers of the varsity basketball team in
service, Cornell will start regular

sociation viii. hold its twelfth annual
convention in New York during the
Christmas holidays. One of the feat
ures OF this meeting is sure to be re-
ports from all sections of the country
concerning the experiment of football
this fall. That these reports will be
unanimously in favor of a continuation
of all intercollegiate athletics on the
same plane as football was played is
certain from the advance reports sent
out as this season ended.
One of the most hopeful signs Of
return to sanity on the subject OF
intercollegiate athletics is the unoffi-
cial news that Harvard and Yale pro-
pose to expand their so-called "in-
formal" athletics so that they may
meet a limited number of other col
leges in those sports which remain on
the intercollegiate calendar. The
yale Alumni Weekly" in reviewing
Yale's experiment in freshman foot
ball and other kinds Of informal ath-
letics, sees in the present situation an
opportunity TO make permanent the
reforms suggested by the National
Collegiate Athletic Association last
summer and to introduce others.
New-York tribune., 1917-12-16
Yale Will Make a Big Mistake y
IfH Does Not Aid Reforms

The Yale publication thinks that i
would be a mistake for Yale not "a
avail itself of this opportunity TO dc
its part in permanently cleansing in
tercollegiate sports from the evils oi
professionalism and commerc al
ism. On this point the Yale weekly
says:
"The Yale freshman football team,
every one of the eleven and sub
stitutes being members of the uni
versity training unit and subject
to their exacting schedules, gave an
account of itself which should not
be overlooked. Good material but
better spirit brought it through
season OF which the score boards
told an interesting story and in
which the character of the team and
its training amounted TO an inspira-
ton
Will Tale BE Willing?
"Will Yale, then, have the courage
to resume varsity football next year
or the year after, whenever it be-
comes a possibility, upon a basis
Similar to that which has proved so
salutary for the freshman team?
Will Yale be willing, at least, TO
help lead the way TO purer amateur
ism and less of the spirit of pro-
fessionalism, to more sensible econ
omy in keeping with the purposes
Of the university and less of extrava-
gance, smacking on commercialism,
to less Of the trumped-up public
spectacle, with its hero worship and
other inevitable evils, and more of
the college sport for the sake of
college sport as such?
I'VE cannot think too hard or too
often on these things. To prove
blind to the opportunity would be a
lsmontable thing. To seize it and
10 carry intercollegiate athletics.
football especially. far away from
its ancient abuses toward the clearly
suggested ideal will be splendid. Be
lieying this and working for this now
will win half Of the battle"
Another reform likely to be estab-
ished by intercollegiate action is some
agreement abolishing all preliminary
training before certain date. This
was the ore recomn. endation Of the
National Colleg ate Athletic Associa-
ton last summer which was not uni
'ormly observed. The refusal Of some
Institutions 70 abide by IL led 20 con-

LITERATURE FOR TROOPS
Cnll Issued for Heading Matter for Sol
dlers and Sniiors, ut Home
and Abroad.

Mention has been made frequently
OF late in war dispatches OF the desire
OF men in the American army and navy
for reading matter. Not only Is there
this need abroad among the lighting
men. but in tho camps and canton
ments at home. The United States
government has taken cogniEance OF
this fact and has requested the Amer
lean Library Association to procure
suitable reading matter for the SOL
diers and sailors. In Richmond this
task has been delegated to the Vir-
Ginia State Library.
1t is therefore announced by DR..
Henry r. McIlwaine. Librarian OF
the State Library. that he is ready
TO receive and to forward to the camps
ans environments such books and mag
azines as the citizens of Richmond and
the surrounding country may care to
give for this purpose. bearing in mind
that the best is mono too good for
Uncle Sans lighting men and for this
reason the books should be we'll Sc
lected and up-to-date. and the mag
asines current copies.
Camps and environments will open
soon. and therefore, 1t Is urged that
the people of Richmond and other In
terested communities respond q, once
to this call, which Is OF a definite char
acter to meet definite demand.
