Intercollegiate competition in track
and field athletics has been abolished
at Gallaudet College. The Kendall
Greeners determined upon that action
early in the year, but no official an
nouncement was made. The school
was not represented in the indoor
meets. and this spring is not sending a
relay team to the University Of Penn

years.
The war situation has nothing to do
with the action Of the authorities. The
student body is so small that 1t was
deemed inadvisable to carry on more

same season. Several Of the men in
base bali always took part In the
track contests, and participation in
two sports at the same time took
too much time away from the
scholastic work. There are very few
