Conway Cuts Baseball;
War Prevents Full Season

Carlisle, Pa, May 11-At meet
ing last evening it was decided to
forego all spring sports at Conway
Hall and close the baseball season to-
morrow with the game with NTillers-
burg Normal here. The action came
following discussion and arguments
among the students. Just a week
ago it was decided to continue, but
in view of the setbacks caused by
cancellations and the interest of the
ball players being turned to mill
tary activity rather than to their
game, it was considered to the best
interests of all to close now.
Conway has lost but few so far by
enlistment. The institution has no
provision for scholarship credits to
men going to the army or farms and
the majority are below the draft
age so that many will remain at
the school until the end, although
others have quit scnool to enlist.
No action was taken on the ques-
