TRACK AND FIELD
 MEETSFOR THE: 5 SOLDIERS
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON. Sept. 15. - World sports records may be broken by draft. ed soldiers Of the new national army in cantonment camps throughout the country this fall. Chairman Raymond D. Fosdick, of the war department commission on training camp aetivi- ties. hopes to bring our sport phenoms of many kinds, whose lights might have been hidden by the bushel of private life as long as they lived if it hadn't been for the war. sN
 l"The great trouble with college ath- letics," said Fosdick, Ifs that they de velop a few men intensiyely and the many not at all.
 "The draft mems training Is, of course. compulsory. The best in every man will be brought out. And when you consider that none of the 687 ,O0O is accepted unless he is physically per. feet, which is not true of the raw ma. terial college athletics has to choose from, it is not unreasonable to expect great things of them on track and field"
 One of the greatest programs of sports and athletics that America has ever seen is expected to develop be- tween eantonment camps, particularly those close together in the south, this fall and winter
 No set program of inter-eamp con tests has been arranged" said Eos, dick, "but the boys will be allowed to develop their own football, baseball, track and field teams for inter.camp and intra-camp meets"
