COLLEGE LEADERS
TODISCUSS MEANS
OF CUTTING DOWN
By TOM THORP.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-An agree
ment that is certain to result in
frmer and more friendly athletic re-
lations between the representatives
Of our large schools and colleges is
sure to be entered into by the grad
uate managers Of these seats Of
learning when they gather to discuss
ways and means Of continuing inter-
collegiate sports during the war at
the Martinique Hotel, December q.
A representative from every school
OF learning In the United States has
been invited to participate in this
second gathering OF the men who
safeguard athletics. No excuse will
be accepted for failure on the part OF
any individual to be present
intercollegiate sports have been on
trial for the past several months, and
the opinion Of the graduate managers
viii be recognized as the finding Of
the jury which has heard the case.
The failure on the part OF any
graduate manager to be on hand and
help to make the finding OF this gath
ering the majority opinion will be
taken as a carefully planned maneu-
YER 70 shlrk responsloillty.
College Sports Expensive.
It is only through such meetings a.
this that the voice OF the entire ath-
letic field can be heard. Each one OF
the men that today occupy the posi-
tion5 OF graduate managerships are
former stars who have had expert
ence in the business end OF athletics
1t Is this important side which has
caused a call to be sent out for the
gathering.
There are few among athletic fol-
lowers but are OF the opinion that the
continuation OF sports Is a good
thing. However. sport events are very
expensive affairs to run. This fact
has been brought home more during I,
the past few months than many OF
our leading authorities would have
you know.
Many a gridiron eleven has gone
into deep financial hole as the result
OF an elaborate season. In fact. three
or four colleges can be mentioned
that have sunk SO far that Il will take
years for their athletic representa-
tives to bring them to the surface
again.
1t is the expense accounts OF these
seats OF learning that have caused the
present call to be issued for a gather
ing OF the best flnanciers OF athletics.
Unless some way Of continuing sports
without the danger OF slipping into
this financial abyss Is discovered at
this meeting many OF these colleges
that are today sporting teams will
ind athletics cut OF to them.
Burden Too Heavy.
The faculty committees are begin
ming to show some concern in the
financial standing of their athletic as
sociations. They are just about ready
to close down on the officials OF these
associations. They are OF the opinion
that too heavy a burden should not
be placed upon the shoulders OF
future stars.
They are satisfied to allow debts
to a certain amount to be contracted
for. but when that limit Is reached
they intend calling halt. 1t can be
said on very good authority that the
limit has been touched at several OF
our large schools OF learning.

elevation Of K[R[NSKY AS
PREMIER MAKES HIM VIRTUALLY
DICTATOR Of NEW REGIME

as we'll as with the Germans and muni-
tions, there is sufficient action in prog
ressy on the western front to COM
mand close attention.
The German crown prince received
a severe beating in his recent attacks
along a wide front in the Aisne re-
giOn, but nevertheless he is sacrificing
more of his men in renewed efforts
to shake the French lines. There was
violent fighting last night south OF
Cerny on this front, but although the
French positions were twice pene-
trated, the end of the fighting showed
them to have remained intact in
French hands. A British attack on
the northern end of the Belgian
Franco front with the intensity of
the big gunfire of late, seems to indi.
cate as impending, but has not yet
been delivered. Raids on an extensive
scale are being continued by General
Haig's troops, however, and last night
they penetrated German positions on
wide front in the vicinity of La
Basse and Armentieres.

that Germany had urged Holland to
demand an apology for this unheard
of violation in Dutch waters and pre-
else assurance that it would not re-
occur. ,.,
DR.. Kriege said Germany was entt-
tied to, and would expect immediate
restoration of ,tie captured Ships and
compensation Ser hfKe ' cargoes sunk,
and also for tke wounded seafnen and
their dependents. Holland, he said,
had already expressed regret at the

feet would do it's utmost to prevent

mand. The German government DR..
