TEAMS PUZZLED
ABOUT LETTER

A number OF the college athletic
associations are puzzled over the
varsity letter problem this season. In
many cases members Of teams are to
be graduated with little or no op-
portunity to win a letter this spring
although certain to have won a place
upon the team had intercollegiate
sports been STAGED as usual In sew
eral instances class or minor insignia
have been awarded. In other cases
there is a plan suggested TO award
varsity letters to men who would
have been reasonably sure OF making
the team, especially If they left col
lege TO enlist in any OF the various
army or navy corps.
