NOT TO
STOP DURING WAR
A. A. U. Championship Meet
Will be Held Same as
Usual.
By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, June 26.-As the re-
suit OF sober second thought several
of the national sport-goveming bodies
of the country have reached the con-
clusion that they acted rather hastily
in abandoning various national cham
pionship meets. In the case OF the
Amateur Athletic Union the matter
was put to mail vote before any de-
cision was announced and the returns
showed an overwhelming vote in ia
vor of staging the track and field
games under the same conditions pre-
vailing in normal times.
The annual championship meet will,
therefore, be held as usual but some
uncertainty still exists regarding the
date and place for the games. They
we're originally set for st. Louis on
August 81, September 1 and 8. st.
Louis athletic officials, however, are
not positive at this time that the meet
can be properly staged there and
should this prove to be the case, the
championship games will be awarded
to some other athletic center. New
York, Chicago and Philadelphia are
all understood to be willing to assume
the task of holding the meet in case
St. Louis decides to forego the con.
tests.
1t may also be necessary to change
the dates for the games should it be
found that they will conflict with the
plans for the assembling Of the army.
As originally set, the junior and senior
meets would have fallen on the FRI
day and Saturday preceding Labor
Day with the finals on the holiday
with Sunday for rest intervening.
II it should develop that the gov
eminent will begin assembling the
new army on September 1, as has been
unofficially stated, the dates of the
games will be moved forward a week
bringing the contests on August 24.25.
This will be necessary in view Of the
fact that number Of prominent ath.
letes will enter the service with the
first call thus losing all chance Of COM
peting if the meet were to be held aft.
er the date set for assembly at camp.
The championship committee also
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1917-06-26

has decided that the regular A. A. U.
die medals shall be awarded to first,
second and third men to win places in
both the track and field events as in
past years. 1t was the general opinion
that since the games were to be held
the regular championship trophies
should be awarded instead OF the GER
tificates planned in connection with
the suggested patriotic meet.
Walter Camp. dean of Yale football
authorities, has suggested that in or
der to settle the question as to wheth'
er football shall be played this fall
or not, circular letter be sent to
graduates asking them to subscribe for
seats in case they favor the retention
of the games. He points out that il
conditions should be such as to pre-
vent the contests provision might be
made that the sums necessary to re-
serve seats could be applied to other
sources such as the continuation of
teachers salaries.
by adopting this means" states Mr.
Clark, "the University authorities
would know positively what they can
afford to expend in preparation, and
in time to act understandingly, and
their word would be accepted loyalty
If they determined that conditions in
the fall made it inadvisable to have
football. No one is DESTROYS Of forget
ting the serious business at hand but
clearer understanding Of the situa.
ton would help on all sides, The
chances are that such course would
clear the war for football and general

enough to furnish interest and relaxa.

This mornings Pittsburgh Dis
patch printed the following dectd-
eddy interesting story prominent
ly upon its first page:
Seventeen boy Scouts of Troop 81,
Elliott, footsore and hungry, faced the
cold refusals of lift" by numerous
autoists, the prospect Of long tramp
home after day Of wearing linking"
and late supper, until man came
along in his big touring car. Now
they are telling their friends how the
Governor of West Virginia picked
them up, bag and baggage, from the
roadway, brought them into Pittsburg
and took them to the Fort Pitt Hotel
and entertained them as his special
guests at the biggest feed" Of all
their born days, and escorted them in
his purring auto right to their very
doorsteps.
The whole thing occurred on Satur
day. The boys with their scoutmas.
ter, ]. P. Fairman, were returning
home in the afternoon along the Steu
benville pike. They had hailed nu
merous motorists for a ride, but each
time had been refused. Then came
along the man who later introduced
himself as Governor ]. ]. Cornwell
of West Virginia.
"Hey, Mack, how about a ride?"
one of the Scouts yelled out.
The car was brought to quick stop
and the occupant lNplied: "All in,
Scouts"
The boys piled into the back seat
boys, knapsacks, flags and all, and
there was plenty of room for all. Then
the man disclosed his identity, and
told the boys to look at his license
plate-No. 1, West Virginia. For a
moment there was an awed silence.
But the Governor took the Scouts
American flag and foated it high
above the car-followed by the deaf
ening yells of the Scouts.
All the way along the route the Gov.
ernor and the Scouts made all salute
Old Glory, men and women alike. Then
the boys were surprised with the re-
quest that the Governor be allowed
the pleasure of taking the troop to
the Fort Pitt hotel for dinner, and
not Scout objected.
After riding through the main sec.
ton of Pittsburgh the party reached
the hotel, and the Governor with the
flag, followed by the boys, made for
the dining room. "Giye US the best
you have" was the order, and during
the dinner the Governor spoke to the
boys on Doing Their Good Turn
Daily" The Governors last words
were: boy Scouts of Troop 81, Pitts
