ATHLETICS FUR \ A[[, NOT FEW, |S

fRepubIican A. P. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, Dec 2S.-That athlet- ics in every form conducive to preserv- ing all that is stimulating and pro- ductive of physical development among the students in American colleges should be encoura ged and maintained, was the unanimous opinion of the dele gates to the twelfth annual convention of the National Collegiate Athletic as sociation, which was held here today. Representatives of more than 50 uni versailles and colleges took part in the discussions. Letters from Secretary of War Baker and Secretary of the Navy Daniels were read at the afternoon ses- sion and tonight by a unanimous vote, the following recommendations were adopted.
 Resolved, that we recommend to all educational institutions, collegiate and | secondary:
 First that athletic sports be made subservient to the work of military preparation and be made, therefore, an essential factor in military training.
 Second, that intercollegiate and in- | terscholastic schedules be arranged for so long a time and so far as national and local conditions permit and that
 
 | the development of intra- mural sports with view to promoting the partici- patton of all students.
 Third, that professional coaching and expenses incidental thereto, be re- duced to a minimum.
 Fourth that there be no pre- season coaching or practice, no scouting ex- cept at a public intercollegiate contest and no training table.
 Fifth, that the number of offiials al ] intercollegiate games and their fees be kept as low as possible.
 Sixth, that this association reaf- firms its belief in the eligibility rules which it has already endorsed. includ- ing the freshman rule and therefore recommends that there be no lowering of eligibility standards during the pres ent crisis
 A resolution recommending that col Ieges and secondary schools, so far as possible. take up military rifle practice as part of athletic training, also was adopted.
 All of the officers of the association were reelected for another term.
 Secretary of War Baker and Secre. tary of the Navy Daniels endorsed en, couragement of college athletics or l SuCu lIueS as to DeHeIlL all SluUelltS II letters to the association.
 The primary purpose of college ath letics, the secretary declared, lis large number of sound bodies rathe than a small number of athletic spe cialists." The military usefulness fo this was obvious, he said but wa further fortified by all those consider ations which look to our nationa strength as based upon vigorous man [ hood"
 The call, insistent and imperative soon will come to all young men unde 91 years of age" Mir. Daniels wrote They are now thinking about the dut l for them. Most colleges have adde , military instruction and with thi , training, college athletics will mak the youths fit for service calling fo 9 strength and ability to endure hard ship. ' ''Softness is incompatible with eff f cient military service. In every branc ! college, men are proving that in mod ern education a sound body must 2 with a sound mind.'

SOLDIER TELLS
 OE.ENCAMPM PMENT

An interesting letter has been re- ceived by Mir. and Mrs. Harris from their son, Leon Harris, formerly of this city but now at Camp Worden. He tells Interestingly of the supplies given the soldier, and of his work, in the following letter:
 Dear Mother and Dad:
 Received two letters from you to- the men are all such fine fellows. It is just like going to college, for we learn something new every day.
 It has been raining every day, but we don't go out in it. We drill eight hours a day and 1 like it fine. We get up at 5:45 o'clock every morning and take 15 minutes exercise before breakfast.
 1 get the balance of my clothes and things tomorrow. l will have two pair of shoes, 10 pair of socks, four pair of shoe strings, two pair of trousers, two coats, five pair of drawers, five undershirts, one belt, two hat cords, two shirts, four sheets, two pillow cases, two mattress cov- CTS, two blankets, one rifle, one bay onet. one trunk, one field kit, one comb, one hair brush, one tooth brush, one toilet soap, two towels, one pair overalls, one hat and one coat.
 We are near the Canadian border and can see Victoria on a clear day. We got here ori Sunday and on Mon- | day they had target practice with | the big guns, which they only have about twice year, so we were in 1 luck. We could see the shells strike about seven or eight miles out in | the water. Believe me, the enemy had better stay out of here. There is more to learn in this branch oi the service than any other, for we | learn every thing in the coast artil- lery corps, the field artillery and il the infantry.
 They are drilling us pretty hart | now. Want to have us ready to dC | guard duty by Christmas. Am hoping to get to go to France soon.
 You might send me a copy of Th' Republican once in a while. . | Well I must go to bed and stud. some rules before lights are out a 9 o'clock. The boys are having ; good time singing.

Not content to remain at home. safe and sound, when so much is being done in the world and so many people needed for the doing, Miss Jessie V. De Frieg asks for an opportunity to do something for her country, and she isn't particular what that something is.
 Miss Jessie is an Apache county girl and writes from her home in St. John to Colonel Fred $. Breen asking him to place her where she is needed. A nurse, if they say so, but she is will ing, and rather prefers to do other work. .ze> Following is her letter:
 T am willing and able to enter the service during the present crisis and there is a position I,could fill other than 8 nurse. But in case there is no other position open to women, l would offer to go as a nurse and would go as soon as needed.
 At present I am engaged at teach 1 ing school which will last until some time in May and would like to finish l the term unless it is that I would be needed to enlist right away. 1 Please write me and advise me what to dq
