TO REVIVE SPORT
Deans of Many Universities
Think Discontinuance Mistake.
University of Pennsylvania
Takes Lead in Revival.
BY 81. c. HAMILTON.


New York. May es.-FolIowing the
discontfnuance of athletics in nearly
every college and university of prorni-
nence in the country, heads OF repre-
sentative schools today indicated a
change of sentiment, and favor re-
sumption of sports
In response TO queries dozens of col
leges and universities in every section
of the country. have replied. with only
a few exceptions, that they believe
abandonment of athletics Is a mistake.
These questions were asked of the
deans:
do you believe athletes in the uni
versities and colleges in this country
should be resumed after the first draft
for troops is completed?
do you believe athletic training is
helpful to military training?H
The first question received chorus
of ayes"
The second question received even
more replies in the affirmative.
Penn Wants Sports
Arthur Hobson Quinn. dean of the
strong recommendation for sports. At
Pennsylvania efforts are being made
as at no other school to keep athletics
alive. It is the only western college of
prominence where preparations are
being made to play a football schedule
next fall.
I believe sincerely wrote Professor
Quinn, that not only athletic activ-
ity. but also other forms of student
activity should be continued If We
are to continue to train a generation
that will have to meet the great prob
lens that are sure to arise after the
war is over, we need good minds in
good bodies among our under-gradu-
ates. 1t would not only be a mistake
to train the student body of our col
leges for the early units for the Sc
Ieetive draft. but it would also be a
great mistake to deprive these who
are in college of their legitimate di-
versions and activities. They will
make better students, better citizens
and even better soldiers when the time
comes"
Many Favor Resumption

lese; S. b. Goodnight, dean of the

DODGERS MAY PLAY NIGHT
BASEBALL At HOME SOON

If some of the major leazue club
owners decide to make an experi-
ment, baseball may be played at
night w. S Ward. one of the
owners of Washington park,
Brooklyn, is interested in a light
ing plant which he is anxious to
exploit During the Buffalo Bill
show at the park recently, with
one-third OF the power turned on,
a sharpshooter gave an exhibition
of glass ball breaking which, in
Mr. Wards opinion. proved that
baseball could be played after sun
down. While the Federal league
was in existence, the Wards paid
large sum for the exclusive light
ing privileges. but the experiment
didn't produce the desired results.
The system has Deen improved
since then and an effort will be
made TO have the major league
men take 1t up. 1t might be worth
trying.
