"Gas Shortage"
Talk Is Harmful

Businessmen seriously interested
in the Governments efforts to pre-
serve public confidence and stimu-
late a more general feeling of OPP
timism, have no sympathy for gas
oline shortage" alarmists.
In the first place." said one local
merchant, those who persist in Civ
ing the public the impression that
there is q shortage, or that one is
imminent, are stimulating pessimIsm.
Nothing pleases our enemies more
than to hear of Shortages Moth
ing is so disconcerting to the public.
In the second place there is no
gasoline shortage. Furthermore,
there is no immediate prospect of
one. Although the price has risen
slightly, as everything else has risen,
the Government has not yet consid-
cred 1T necessary to place a limita-
ton on it's use. The Government
realizes that the gasoline used in
the operation of motorcars for eX-
ample, is aim most entirely for the
cause of greater personal efficiency"
An official of Dodge Brothers, De-

At another part of her talk she

Government Control May
Not Affect Spring Trips

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Officials of the
two major league baseball clubs of
the city to-day discussed the proba-
BILE effect Government control of the
railroads would have on spring train
ing trips and the regular schedule Of
games during the season.
While radical changes are looked
for by the baseball men in handling
the teams on the part of the railroads,
it was said that the new order of
things would not seriously disarrange
plans of the Chicago Nationals to
condition in Pasadena Cal. or curtail
the training trip of the White SoX in
Texas.
Railroad traffic officials who are in
tercsted in baseball pointed out that
| the players may experience some in
conveniences on long Journeys, as the
number of passenger trains and
sleeping cars in all probability would
! be reduced, and in many instances
dining-car service curtailed, eating
stations being substituted

In furtherance of its policy to

the b. +. Goodrich Rubber Com
pany has undertaken to promote the
extensive purchase by employees and

This means that in every one of the
1875 branches of the Goodrich cor

on sale. Advertising literature and
banners will be prominently dis
played and managers, statesmen and
clerks will carry the gospel of econ

thrift stamp campaign when they
gave as Christmas presents to their
22, 900 factory employees $4,000 thrift
stamps, or a dollars worth to each
person. 1t takes four dollars in
stamps and a few cents extra, this
amount being determined by the

FAVOR REVISION
FOR ATHLETICS
College Representatives. Hear
Timely Talks on Price
less Opportunity

New York, Dec. 29.-Representa-
tives of nearly 200 universities, col
leges and various Intercollegiate ath-
| letC associations from all sections
of the country attended the twelfth
annual convention of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association here
yesterday.
There was a general discussion of
the policy underlying college ath-
letics during the war. Colonel Pal
mer- Z. Pierce, u. S. A, president of
the organization, in his annual ad-
dress stated that the government
favored the continuation of sports
among the colleges. An encouraging
letter was read from Secretary of
War Baker.
Priceless Opportunity
The war offers college athletes "a
priceless opportunity of appraise-
ment and revision" declared Pres
ident w. II. P. Faunce, of Brown
most expensive paraphernalia of
sports are suddenly swept away"
he said. Gone are the training
tables which have fostered profess
sionalism by treating athletes as a
separate caste. Gone are the Pull
man cars and the southern trips
which have been an expensive detri-
IlenJ. GOHe are SOlle OIL Ine COSlly
coaches who regard the faculty as
natural foe and who must turn out
a winning team or lose their jobs.
Gone in some cases is the whole var
Sity team which may have regarded
single letter on a sweater as far
greater honor than a Phi Beta
Kappa key.
Now is the opportunity such as
America has not seen for fifty years
10 ,,Ia
to discover it's real function in the
national life and decide whether to
continue or abandon or reform it."
These recommendations were made:
Recommendations
Ftrst-That athletic sports be
made subservient to the work of
military preparation and be made
therefore an essential factor in mill
itary training.
Second-That intercollegiate and
interscholastic schedules be arranged
for so long a time and so far as ma
tional and local conditions permit,
and that all possible encouragement
be given to the development of in
tramural sports, with a view to pro- /
noting the participation of all stu
dents.
Third-That professional coaching
and the expenditures incidental
thereto be reduced to a minimum.
Fourth-That there be no pre-sea-
son coaching or practice, no scouting
and no training table.
Fifth-That the number of Off
cials at intercollegiate games and
their fees be kept as low as possible.
1t was further resolved that the
association reaffirm it's belief in the
eligibility rules which it has already
endorsed including the freshman
rule, and therefore recommends
that there be no lowering of eligibil-
ity standards during the present
crisis.
