DEAN SMITH URGES
THAT ATHLETICS
BE KEPT UP
Represented Delaware At Ses-
sion OF National Colleg-
late Association

Delaware College was repre-
sented at special meeting of the
National Collegiate Athletic AS
sociation, held in Washington last
Thursday at the New Willard Ho-
tel. by Dean Edward Laurence
Smith, President of the Delaware
College Athletic Council.
When war was declared with
Germany and the rush among stu
dents to enlist in various branch
es of the service and enter the
training camps began many of the
premier men in athletic ranks left
the institutions of the country to
take up patriotic service. Della
ware College, along with many
others, suffered greatly in this
respect. Many institutions cam
celed the remainder of their
schedules in the various sports.
The question as to whether Della
ware should take the same course
came up at that time and after de-
liberation it was determined that
To proceed with our schedules was
the best course for Delaware.
This was done and the results

REWARDS OF THE DRAFT

The Liberty Loan, the Red Cross,
the Registration, the selection
have all been events that will be
recorded in history as momentous
days. Now this week we are en-
tering another stage-that of. 9S
animation and enlistment of the
great Nationa.. Army. The tre-
mendonS task involved! Only
those directly associated with the
work can realize the mass of de-
tail. To register, draw and select
an army of 687.000 men is what is
being done. Tons of mail, thou
sands of kilograms, telephones
taxed to capacity, over 500 differ
ent forms to'carry in to effect the
task Not only this, the tremend-
Gus responsibilities resting on the
various Boards throughout the
nation. Men of wealth, men of
profession and business, men of
large affairs, used to a few hours
work to big business are rushing
at full speed way into the night
hours in serving their County.
Out of all this time, this energy
and sacrifice, there must be truly
something worth while. 1t is TAX
ing away the sordid selfish ambi
tions. Men are more lenient with
men Petty politicS. plaving for
position, graft, misnamed mercy
are giving way to Truth. We are
demanding from our fellows that
they stand full square. Service,
honor, responsibility, fairness
Justice are words that are becom-
ing more prominent in our deal
ings with men.
These in part are paying for the
sacrifice, tears and death. 1t is
developing manhood.

Some dealers

todays quotation. Some dealers
paying $3.50.
Hay was normal and was cured
in fine shape. Prices ranging Sll
to SIG, according to quality.
Oats are running little above
the average yield, threshing out in
some instances as high as 90
bushels per acre.
Help is very scarce but not en-
barrassingly so. The demands per
day run in most instances $500
per day. The farmer who gets
labor for $3.50 and board is for
tunate. While price of wheat IS
advanced the cost of fertilizer and
labor will offset considerable OF
the prifit. With hay, the price is
lower than in recent years, with
almost twice the labor cost. The
same is true with potatoes. At
the price for which they are now
selling, 81 90 to S1.50 per bushel,
the profit is very small, If any.
One farmer who is large grower
and exceptional in that he has a
knowledge of his costs, said re-
Gently that unless he received
$1.15 per bushel, he would lose
actual cash put in the crop. This
says nothing of the labor involved.
A great deal is being said about
high costs of dairy products. But
when we consider costs of concen-
trated dairy foods that is not
raised in this section, this all
fades away. Butter profits are far
less than they were five years ago.
SO while the farmer is doing his
bit as never before he is not reap
ing the market profits that many
newspaper readers believe.

be athletics for ALL"

De atnleJlcS lOr all.
Commenting on this question,
the Philadelphia Record, in an
editorial in its issue of August Z,
makes the following statement: ::
Every college boy-as well as
every other boy-ought to have
severe athletic training, and if it
shall not be distinctly military, its
chief aim should be to endow the
college youth with a sound body
and a physical development that
will enable him to be a more eff
fcient citizen, whether called to
civic duty or to service in war.
Cillege athletics ought to have a
higher objective than mere sport"
Upon the recommendation of a
special committee appointed for
the purpose the Association at
Washington adopted the follow
ing resolutions:
"That we recommend that there
be no preseason coaching during
the coming academic year.
THAT training tables be given
up"
THAT professional coaching and
other expenses incidental thereto
be reduced to a minimum: that the
number of officials at intercolleg-
late games and their fees be kept
as low as possible"
That the Association reiterates
its belief in the eligibility rules
which it has already endorsed, in
cluding the freshman rules, and
recommends that there be no low
ering of eligibility standards be-
cause Of existing conditions"

From the results of this course
Of action in the spring Dean Smith
believes that it wGuid be a great
mistake, pGt only for Delaware but
Ter iii educational institutions, to
consider even the advisability of
dropping intercollegiate football
during the coming semester. He
stated before the meeting of the
National Collegiate Athletic AS
sociation that Delaware College
would proceed to carry out all her
contracts in athletic sports in so
far as such a course would not in
terfere with the military training
desired by the national govern
ment.
Dean Smith said in part: For
many years, as you all know, there
has been a movement on the part
of some of the members of this
association to decry the practice
Of bending all our energies and
financies to the highly specified
training of a few star athletes to
the practical exclusion of many
others whose physical welfare re-
ceiveS no attention. Many of us
have long thought that a system
of athletics that would bring out
more candidates in all sports
would be highly desirable. It
seems to me that the situation that
confronts US and the problem we
have been specifically called to
solve present the opportunity
which some have been striving to
create, if we will only see it in
that light and take advantage of
it. 1t is acknowledged that many
institutions have lost their stars.
In the language of collegiate fan
the team has been shot to pieces
For this reason shall we acknow-
ledge that our purpose in college
athletics is merely to develop star
athletes? Shall we cancel our
schedules because our stars are
gone or shall we adopt the spirit
of true sportmanship by going
ahead despite this fact by throw
ing the gates open to the whole
body of students and filling the
vacancies from the best material?
Our experience in carrying out our
baseball schedule proved that
more men came out to try for the
vacancies after various members
of our team had left than had ever
appeared under normal conditions.
We are sure that the same situa-
tion will obtain during the COM
ing session. Delaware College
votes to carry on all athletic pro-
grams as heretofore"
Secretary Baker, who later ad-
dressed the delegates, contended
that competitive sports should be
continued to equip men for the re-
ception of military training. Mr..
Baker, however, took exception to
our former methods of conducting
college athletics. He said: "The
big, strong, husky men are made
specialized athletes while the ane-
mic and studious and unathletic-
ally inclined are left to fill the
bleachers. Star teams and special
lied athletes, while good and val
liable in their way, are not numer-
Gus enough to make armies. The
