EIGHT BIG SCHOOLS
CANCEL ATHLETICS
United States Military Authorities De-
clare. This Is Not Practical
Patriotism.

New York, April 6.-Wide differ
ence of opinion developed today as to
whether amateur and intercollegiate
athletics should be discontinued to
make room for military training.
Following a meeting here of the
graduate MANAGERS of athletics at
eight Of the foremost universities in
the East, the cancellation of athletic
schedules at Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Columbia, Cornell. Dartmouth and
Williams was announced. The Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania will reach a
decision Monday and Syracuse uni
versity will decide the matter tomor-
row.
United States military authorities
feel that calling off athletic events Is
not practical patriotism. In letter
to Major Maylan Il. Pickering, grad
uate manager of athletics at Pennsyl-
vania. Major General Leonard Wood
said athletics was the best training for
future soldiers and advises against
cancelling any schedules. This view
was upheld by the athletic directors
at West Point and Annapolis.
At both the military and naval
academy IL was announced that the
program OF athletic events would be
run off just as nearly as possible as
already drawn up.
From the West came the news that
Depauw university had also decided to
call off all athletic contests, but Rut-
gers college athletic directors an
nounced there would be no change in
the program for the coming season.
The Poughkeepsie regatta also was
cancelled by the action OF the inter-
collegiate rowing association.
