Cancellation of Base Ball Schedule

Cancellation of Base Ball Schedule
Norwich University has not been
possessed with any hysteria because
of the war which has a tendency to
disrupt its usual activities. The mill
tary training of the men no doubt has
shown up in the present crisis. Every
thing is movig along in the usual way.
Contrary to the action of many insti-
tutions, Norwich does not consider the
cancellation of the athletic activities
at this time as advisable. There has
been no call for troops, and pending
such call it is considered that ath-
letics is good training, and possibly
the young men could do would
be of any greater physical value than
participations in outside sports.
