An official declaration of war will
sound the death knell of practically
all branches of sports in this country
for the season of 1917. This becomes
increasingly evident every day. From
all parts of the country come an
nouncements that athletes are pre-
pairing to desert the eight-oared
shells for the three-inch variety; that
the golfers may soon be in the
trenches instead of the bunkers; that
the spiked shoes are being hung up
and the spiked helmet taken down;
that varsity pitchers with a tendency
to go up in the air have enrolled in
the airplane corps, and that the great
racing drivers are tuning up their
cars to carry dispatches rather than
to win big purses.
Would Call on Events.
The developments of yesterday were
as follows: Yale and Pennsylvania
that all extra-mursl ath-
letic activities would be absolutely
abandoned in the event of war; the
Pacific Coast Athletic Conference col
leges will call OF all their schedules
in the same contingency; the United
States Golf Association will abandon
its three championship tournaments
as soon as the situation comes to a
head; the National Association of
Amateur Oarsmen will follow suit,
and the dates of the big automobile
races have been held up pending the
final decision OF Congress and Presi-
dent Wilson.
Early Decision by Colby.
Colby was the first college to take
a definite step In the matter without
waiting on Congress or international
law. The baseball schedule OF the
Maine nine was officially abandoned

the event of serious trouble the golf
championships of the U. S. G. A. win

ter of fact, many of the foremost
golfers are members OF various de-
fense leagues and reserves corps al
ready. A call to arms would put
them on duty Immediately" Mr..
Whitney himself is an officer in the

As the golfers will abandon ma

mis- men and women give up their
hopes of wearing championship
laurels this year. The United States
