THE EAGLE AND
THE MORNING STAB

The play given under the direction
of Miss Adrie Cunningham at McMil-
Ian Auditorium Friday night was
most attractively staged and the plot
well sustained. Theodore Winans,
George Wagner and Ripley Jesse,
Miss Leona Jones and Ross Ferris
had leading parts. Miss Anadee Fish
was pianist. Many groups of dane
ers were introduced into the play,
adding greatly to the effect. Anna
Margaret Bunton as "Fire-fy" and
Elizabeth Squires as Butterfly"
were captivating in their graceful
movements.
The proceeds of the evening are to
be used for our boys at Funston.
Miss Cunningham and those who as
sisted are TO be congratulated upon
the success that crowned their eff
forts.

fulfilled. Refreshments were served
and a pleasant afternoon was spent.

AMATEUR TRACK AND
FIELD ATHLETICS
(By Charles A. Dean, President, Anna
teur Athletic Union Of the United
States)

The year 1918 is going to see more
athletic competition than at any time
in the history of our country. Most
of it will, however, be of different
nature than the competitive athletics
we have been accustomed to for many
years. The United States Cavern
ment is developing the greatest lot
of athletics that the world has ever
known and although they may not
have the systematic physical training
that the Germans have had it will not
take this country many years to sur
pass them, il the athletic training In
connection with the military training
at our various Army and Navy Camps
is kept up the same as in the past six
months.
It has been proven the past few
months that athletic training and
competition are as big and essential
to military training as shooting or
bayonet practice. Instead Of our big
gest competitive games and meets

these are going to be in connection

SHOULD be held and l believe will be
held as in former years. The perfor

still have the athletes to draw from
who are either under or over the draft

meets will be held.
AS regards Championships all the

These Championships as we'll as all
the big open athletic meets the COM
ing year should be, and ninety per
cent. of them will be, run for the ben

the different Camps or for the Camps
for our soldiers across the water. The
football season just closed has netted
thousands of dollars for this fund for
the dofferent Camps and the Indoor
Season which is SO much longer
should net thousands of dollars addi-
tional.
These Camps are all badly in need
of athletic buildings to play basket

wrestling and other sports. Everyone
Of the thirty-two Camps have two
or three of these buildings large

lily be seen what large amount of
money will be required. These build.
ings are an absolute necessity, espec-
tally in the Northern Camps where
outdoor athletics cannot be INDUCED
in for possibly six months out Of the
year. All competitive athletics should
be kept up during this war as we can
not afford to let our athletes lose ev.

all these athletes that the Gov ernment
is making do after the war is over.
We will take care of them. Where
one meet week is held now three
or four a week will be held In all the
large centers and then when we get
the much needed Universal Service
let physical education and competitive
