College athletics before long may re-
solve itself almost into out-and-out
competitions in sports that relate di-
rectly to actual preparation for flght-
ing. With it becoming almost a fore
gone conclusion that as the war goes
on intercollegiate athletics, as now
conducted. will become more and more
difficult, it probably will become nee
essary to install completely new sys-j
TENS in most of the institutions. New
systems should embody the character
istics which reflect most the need OF
the time.
Thomas H. Spence. dean of the divf>,
sion of languages and literature at the
Maryland State College. has proposed
an idea relative to wartime sports thai
is worthy of more than the average
consideration. He says:
1T is becoming increasingly difficult tn,
carry on intercollegiate athletics as in,
the past, and. blind our eyes to condi-
tions as we may, II war continues much
longer we will be compelled to abolishl
sports az we knew them before the wAr~
We will abolish them not because OF de~
sire on the part Of collegiate organixations'
but through a sheer inability to dnAncsl
games and to produce the highly efn-
cient material necessary for well trained
teams.
This being true. 1t is well for us to-
consider what we will do to replace ine
tercollegiate sports until the end Of the
war. Nothing that ] can see seems So
appropriate as to introduce series OF
competitions for the members Of the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps, which will
give them the athletic requirements they
actually must have to be good soldiers. bu
give them such requirements In . line oQ
play rather than as actual work. For IND
stance. there could be originated an OBJ
stacle race. embodying the hurdling Of
fences, the-cutting of wire entanglementg
and jumping into trench and out. A.
competitive race Of that kind would giv@
soldiers exactly what they need in dsA
velopment, yet would hardly be In the
nature of work."

Does Not Speak for America.

Boston, Oct. 31.-Secretary Dan
iels, in a political speech here last
night, the third of the day in and

party advantage, to make GERMANY
believe President Wilson does not
speak for America in his IA princi-

Urging the return of Demo-

said that "outside of those measures
on which public opinion was so CEN
tered that opposition meant politi-
cal death. the vocal Republican
leadership of the country has been.
as the President says, 'anti-admin-
istration.'
Secretary Daniels spoke optimis-

counted with pride the part the
navy had played in making victory
possible. He said he did not know
whether the German fleet would
come out and try conclusions with
the allied feet before the war ends.
but he did know that every man
in the navy hopes for that day with
confidence that knows no doubt as
to the result of such a conflict.

be another battle Of Armageddon
and we will be fighting truly for the
Lord"
