Spread Athletics,
Bakers Slogan
To College Men

ITO the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association. Gentlemen:
The officers training camps held
By the government were attended by
tens Of thousands of young men
whose minds had been trained in the
colleges and high schools OF the coun-
try and whose splendid athletic con-
difion was due to the collegiate ana
high school system of athletics. They
were a national asset of incalculable
value. and the collegiate athletics
should have in mind the possibility
Of this kind Of emergency in the
future.
at therefore becomes more OBJ
viously important TO spread the bene-
fits of college athletics as widely as
possible throughout the student body
and to prevent their being monopo-
lized by few selected representa-
tives.
In Training and Spirit
Both the training and the spirit of
the athletic field lend themselves
readily to military service. and, as
the secondary schools of the country
model their activities on those OF the
colleges. both the practice and ex-
ample Of the colleges in athletics be-
come important.
THE War Department will ask
Congress to authorize the use Of re-
serve officers and other qualified mill
tary men for the establishment OF re-
serve officers training corps, and
homes shortly TO be able to supply
suitable instructors and arms TO col
leges willing to establish military
training. This, supplemented by wide
spread athletic activities in the col
leges. will keep constantly in train
ing the nucleus of body of officers
adequate for any national emergency.
"The encouragement Of college ath-
letics by intercollegiate games is in
itself stimulating and beneficial when
it does not lead 10 such specializa'
ton as restricts the value OF college
athletics to a few specialists and de-
MES it TO the student body at large.
The Primary Purpose
at ought never 20 be forgotten
that the primary purpose Of collegi-
ate athletics is a large number OF
sound bodies. rather than small
number of athletic specialists.
"The military usefulness of this
principle is obvious, but 1t is further
fortified by all these considerations
which look to our national strength
as based upon vigorous manhood.

Secretary Of War"
