MANY COLLEGE ATHLETES
 IN U. S. SERVICE
Men With Athletic Training Sought
 by Recruiting Officers.

That the universities and colleges are contributing their quota to the organization of the national army is shown whenever lists are compiled of men enlisted in various branches of the military service.
 According to those in command, col lege athletes are much sought for. Athletes are in physical condition to stand the wear and tear of a hard campaign. Their minds are in such a formative state that they grasp in structtons quickly, and have the strength to execute orders.
 q wish I had more hardened ath- Ietes at the station" Commandant Moffet of the naval training station at Great Lakes said recently. when asked who made his best sailors. Give me the man who has done. something in is the reason I am in favor of staging is no easier way to find out what a man is made of than putting him in an 1S-foot ring with a game and rug ged opponent. I hope the war will not interfere wi.h intercollegiate athle- tiCs.'
 Hundreds of athletes already are in the service. Some are in France, oth- CTS are at various camps, eager to go to the front. Pat Page of the Uni versity of Chicago. who was drawn in the draft, wants to see some action. Pat is an able bodied man. and all though Coach Stasg would hate to lose his able assistant. the "Old Man" would not stand in the way, despite the fact that Page has a family de pendent upon him.
