STOP COLLEGE SPORTS
CONFERENCE OF ATHLETIC COM
MITTEES.
Yale, Harvard and Princeton Favor
Calling Them Off Du-
ring War.
(By Associated Press)


ecutive committee of the National
! Collegiate Athletic Association holds
only an advisory position in it's rela-
tons with the individual members of
the association. the result of the COM
;ng conference to consider the status
of college sports during the war will
have a far-reaching effect on inter-
varsity athletics. The organization,
with a membership of close to 200
OF the leading colleges and universi-
ties of the country, includes on its
roster the names Of all the principal
institutions and sectional groups.
As a result the conference at Wash
ington on August 2 will in reality
de gathering of the athletic author
titles and colleges of the country for
national varsity expression of opin-
ion regarding what form, if any, col
lege athletics shall take during the
coming collegiate year. It is quite
evident from various forecasts of in
dividual sentiment among the pros
pective delegates that there is to be
wide difference of opinion upon this
subject and it would not be surpris-
ing if the discussion was both lengthy
and complex.
Sectional sentiment is certain to
have an important bearing on the at
ititude of the various delegates. Con-
s.dered broadly, the Middle and Far
West may be said to be in favor Of
a continuation of intervarsity sport,
even though limited by certain re-
strictions deemed necessary in view of
war conditions. In the East there IS
net the same unanimity of opinion
o" this popint. If the mere number
of colleges were to be considered, il
is probable that those in favor of con-
tinuing athletics would be found &c
be in the majority.
Those institutions which are OBJ
posed to this course, however, include
several of the largest and oldest ir
. the country and the absence of their
so-called "classic" intervarsity con.
tests is expected in some quarters tc
set a fashion which will have a de-
cided effect upon all forms of inter.
collegiate competition. Cornell and
Pennsylvania are believed to suppo, t
: continuation of sport, while Har-
ward, Yale and Princeton are opposed
So far as varsity football is concerned
st least, and it will be on this game
the most popular of all college con-
! tests-that the battle of opinions will
wage.
Football is not, however, the only
varsity sport which will be discussed
The conference may decide to what
extent rowing, track athletics and
other outdoor sports should be provid
cd for next spring, while winter com
petition in basketball, hockey, wrest.
Ing, gymnastics, etc, will also be con
siGered. The question of abandoning
temporarily at least, the one-year ant

ussion and it is probable that any
commentators made by the execu.

oothering all railroad lines for some

bothering all railroad lines for some
time.
At meeting of superintendents and
agents of the Iowa division OF the rail
road at Ottumwa this week, which
was attended by George T. Higgins,
local freight agent of the road, the car
shortage question came up for discus
sion and it was decided to enlist the
cooperation of shippers in seeing
that all railroad freight. cars sent out
of any station are illled as nearly as
possible to capacity instead Of the
average sixty per cent.
If every inch of car space is utilized
the demand for freight cars will not
he so great. Shippers, by cooperating
with the railroad in the matter can
assist materially by arranging to send
shipment to the same point at the
same time.
