Cabinet Members on Board.

The law creates q federal board for
vocational education. 1t is to consist
of the postmaster general, the secre-
tary of the interior, the secretary of
agriculture, the secretary Of commerce
and the secretary of labor. This board
is to make studies and Investigations
which will enable the government in
ment of vocational schools and classes
and in giving instruction in agricul-
ture, trades, industries, commerce and
commercial pursuits and home eco
nOmics.
Soon after the president signs this
vocational educational bill, which at
this writing is in conference between
the two houses, and virtually is GER
tain to pass, the board consisting of
the cabinet officers already named will
select a general director of all vOca-
tional educational work. He probably
will be paid salary Of $500 year.
A specialist in agricultural education
is to be employed, probably at salary
of $1,000 year. Other specialists re-
ceiving like salaries Will be named to
supervise trade instruction and COM
mercial instruction. 1t seems likely
that a woman will be appointed as the
specialist in home economics. Her
salary will be $1,000 year.
The board also will be authorized
under the law to select an advisory
board to be composed of seven men,
one from the economic arts, one from
agriculture, one from commerce, one
rom labor in general, and three from
the field of general education. The
members of this advisory board cannot
serve under the law for more than 80
days in one year. They are to re-
ceive no salaries, but shall have their
travelling expenses paid and are to be
allowed SO a day for subsistence

TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS
MAY Be BARRED IN '1S

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-It is aluoss
certain that there will be no fnts-eof-
legiate track and field championship
meets in the East next spring. This
applies both to the indoor meet, which
under normal conditions would be
held on the first Saturday of March.
and the annual outdoor meet. which
usually is held in the last week OF
May.
The fate OF both meets will be de-
termined definitely by the I. c. A. A.
A. A within a. few weeks 1t was
said by an official OF the association
that the question of holding the IN
door meet would be taken up by cor
respopdence and that the advisability
OF holding an outdoor meet would
probably be discussed at a melting OF
the executive-eommittee in January.
Although no intimation OF the sort
was given, it is more 'thanp robable
that II the meets are to be abandoned
there will be no convention of the
association in March.
Under normal conditions the asSo-
citation would have held a special
meeting in this city on Friday night.
on the eve Of the cross-country cham
pionship run. But even as far back
as when the plans for the run were.
being made, the officers OF the asso-
citation looked upon the prospects OF
holding an indoor meet as SO re-
mote that they determined to cis-
pense with the meeting.

MAJORLEAGUEM MEN
! WANT 154 GAMES
ON '1S SCHEDULE

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-Although
President johnson, OF the American
League, has come out in favor of q
schedule calling for 40 games in
1918, be stands almost alone In this.
The magnates want the regular 154
game schedule to obtain next year.
The majority of National League
owners are on record as favoring the
longer schedule The whole question
will be threshed out here when the
moguls gather early next month, but
Il is safe to say that the National
League will vote as q unit against
the shorter schedule.
The American League will meet at
Chicago, December II, a day later
than the National League. Johnson
expects to offer a schedule calling for
40 games, but his magnates are not
likely to adopt II. They are seeking
no complications with the other ma
jor league, such as would surely arise
II both big circuits played different
schedules.

STATE TEAM READY
FOR ANNUAL GAME
WITH HOPK|NSM men

Maryland State will be ready for
Johns Hopkins tomorrow afternoon
on Homewood Field. The Staters will
have the chance Of their lives in Bal
timore for a win will mean that the
State football championship will rest
at College Park for another year.
The State team has had an in-and-
out year. Coach Byrd faced a most
difficult task at the start OF the
ysar. The team was the greenest
and youngest that every took the
field at College Park.
With Navy, Penn State, North Caro-
lima State and V. NJ. L on the sched-
ule Maryland State never had =
chance to get a breath during the
year. Meeting superior teams State
developed wonderfully during the
year. and in its big test, that with
st. Johns College, OF Annapolis, won
by IL to 3.
As st. Johns defeated Hopkins a
win tomorrow will mean the State
championship. Coach Byrd will have
his team in better shape physically
than in any game in the past. Fletch-
er, Arthur, Snyder. Macdonald, and
KnOde will probably be the baekfield
selections. Coster, Brown. and Rich,
on the hospital list for a long time'
will probably be in the lineup.
State is making no claims but ex-
poets to put up the hardest fight OF
the year to down Hopkins.

WALTER CAMP WILL
SEE HIL[TOPPERS
. MEET USAAC TEAM
Rx LOUIS A pouGHER.

Walter Camp, dean of American
football, win be at American League
park tomorrow to witness the George
town -Usaacs football game for the
benefit Of the ambulance corps ath-
letic fund. He has so notified Lieu
tenant Eaken, of the Allentown con-
tingent. -
HI am most happy to accept your
kind invitation" writes Walter Camp,
Eand unless some unforeseen happen
ing arises 1 shall be there to see the
game"
Georgetown's adherents, on hear
ing today that the nestor OF football
would witness the contest, were over
5oyed. They reason that. once he
sees the Blue and Gray phalanx in
Action, he will have something nice
to fay about Coach Exendine's sys-
tenn and the lads who carry 1t out so
well.
Ne Odds On Game.
There has been little wagering on
tomorrow's big game. No odds are
offered on either team TO win, those
putting up their money being unable
to get any. It Is felt generally that
what the Hilltoppers may gain in
team work will be offset by the supe-
rior individual brilliancy of the
Usaacs
GeorEetown has completed all ar
rangements for the Turkey Day con-
test. Coach Excndine admits that
nothing more car he done. 1t is now
up to the Hilltoppers themselves II
they have the Necessary pep" md
aRgressiveness. they may win. II
they let the UsaRcs get the jump on
them, they will lose.
Only ono positic1 is in doubt. Eth
er Conneu or Sullivan will start at
left end. Coach Exendine is likely
to use both OF tncm before the game
ends, but the starter won't be an
nounced until the eleven takes the
field.
Both Use Long Passes.
Both elevens are most proficient in
the long forward pass and the fans
going to the ball park tomorrow are
sure to be given = treat in the for
ward pass line. Both Gilroy and Nc
Ouade can hurl tho leather anywhere
from twenty to sixty yards, while
frequently Jackie Maloney takes a
turn at this department OF play.
The Usaacs, composed Of college
stars, will have 4 decided advantage
IN the line, but the backfields are
about even in weight II anything.
the Hilltoppers have slightly more
poundage behind the line.
Just what the Blue and Gray can
do on a heavy field remains to be
seen. They have had dry helds all
season, but in practice they have
held their feet satisfactorily.
Interested In Brewer.
washinEtonians are especially in
terested IN what ''Untz" BrewerwiIl do
against the hArd-hghting Georgetown
eleven. Brewer is a Washington
boy, formerly OF Western High and
St Albans before entering Maryland
State. He is national Junior sprint
champion, and his running has fea-
tured the UsaacS' games this season.
Georgetown, however. thinks he will
never get away for any gallops down
the Geld tomorrow. Special training
has been given the Hillteppers TO
