Declaration of War Will Break Up
Many Big Track and Field Meets

NEW YORK, April 6.-Altho the
outlook for all forms of intercollegiate
sport this spring is extremely dark,
the managers of the college and uni
versity track and field teams have
completed their schedules ard hope
for certain amount of intervarslty
competition. Up to the present time
there has been no intimation that the
principal meets OF the season will be
abandoned and no such action will be
taken by governing bodies unless 1t is
seen that lack of entries will result in
failure to approach the standard of
past years.
The first real test OF the situation
will come late in April when the Uni
VerSity of Pennsylvania plans to hold
its annual two-day relay carnival. The
growth. in entries and popularity, OF
this meet in recent seasons has been
phenomenal and in many respects 1t Is
the greatest intercollegiate track meet
OF the year since entrants are not re-
stricted to any particular section or
the country and the outcome of the
various events is awaited with interest
in every college community of the ma
ton. To some extent the present sea-
son of track and field sports may be
said TO hinge upon the decision to hold
or abandon this meet. II 1t is held II
appears likely that other games IN
the following list may also be staged

EASTERN SCHOOLS
CANCEL PROGRAMS
Athletics VIII Be Encouraged
Even Without Intercolle-
giate Competition.

NEW YORK. April 6.-Representa-
leading eastern universities met here
today and decided to suspend for the
time being, at least, all intercollegiate
sport competition as a result of the
declaration of war
Inasmuch as many of the universe
ties had already announced discontin-
uance of athletics in the event of war,
a letter was sent TO Major General
Leonard Wood asking for his advice
in the matter. to which he sent the
following reply:
Tell your young men to stick to
their present duties until such time as
the government calls for men. This
it will undoubtedly do when its plans
are announced. The most important
service men can render their country
now Is to stay at their university and
put in all the time possible under a
military instructor In preparing them
selves for probable service. There Is
no reason whatever for the men dis
continuing their college work until
the governments plans are definitely
announced.
Sincerely yours,
LEONARD WOOD"
At the conclusion of today's confer
ence it was announced that military
training i'm the institutions represented
had received such an impetus thru
the present national emergency that
most Of the athletes were taking In
struction to such an extent as to In
terfere with intercollegiate competi-
tions For the present Yale. Prince
ton, Cornell, Harvard and Columbia
have suspended all intercollegiate
competition. The University of Penn
sylvania will hold a meeting of its
board of directors next Monday to
definitely decide the matter.
1t was agreed that as athletics are
helpful in military training every eff
fort will be made to encourage such
activities even If there be no inter-
collegiate competition.
