by Secretary Baker in his address to
the conference, are of great use in de-
veloping the qualities of a good SOL
der;
Resolved. That we recommend to the
colleges that the program of athletic
sports for the coming year be contin-
ued. with increased efforts to develop
athletics for all students rather than
for chosen few, and that the schedule
of Intercollegiate sports be carried out
as far as local conditions allow. care
being taken not to interfere with the
military training of the students or to
conflict with the military interests of
the nation:
That we recommend that there be
no preseason coaching during the
coming academic year;
That training tables be given up:
That professional coaching and
other expenses incidental thereto be re-
duced to minimum: that the number
of officials at intercollegiate games and
their fees be kept as low as possible:
That the association reiterates its
belief In the eligibility rules which it
has already Endorsed, including the
freshman rule, and recommends that
there be no lowering of eligibility
standards because of existing condi-
tions."
One part of the resolutions probably
VIII be discarded even by the institu-
s.
ent. The recommendation that there be
no preseason coaching is not going to
ma very attentive subjects, and if ath-
letic schedules are to be carried out
would be next to impossible. Many of
the colleges and universities plan to
delay opening their regular sessions un-
I'll two weeks later than usual They
nave foot ball games scheduled for a
day or so before the opening or a day
or so after the opening. If squads of
hn r,t,~
play foot ball they will have to be
coached and practiced before the begin
ming of the school year. Either that
or there will be a lot of cancellations,
not likely, because Of the value Of such
contests as conditioners
