Princeton is looking forward to the
part II may play in intercollegiate
athletics next year. Under the head
Of Athletics Next Year" the Prince
ton Alumni Weekly gives Coach Fred
Dawson's IDEAS about foot ball and
reprints an editorial from the Prince
tontan, the undergraduate paper:
| The question of athletics next year
is being discussed on the campus, and
the undergraduates are wondering II
| intercollegiate sport can be made to
At in with the new military program.
The Princetonian has begun to agi-
tate the subject. and Coach Fred
Dawson in recent article voiced the
opinion that it would be a serious
! mistake for Princeton not to play
| varsity foot ball next fall. In sum-
continuing intercollegiate competi-
ton Mr.. Dawson stated what he be-
1ieved to be the four outstanding
points involved: (1) Athletics have .
place In any plan Of military training.
(2) intercollegiate athletics on less

Athletics. and especially foot bail. are

deavor and competition. which is the
essence OF any successful plan Of mill
tary training. 90 To carry on inter-
plan proposed above. would have to
| have the cooperation of all colleges
involved. especially the big three"
The Princetonian feels that the only
| difficulty standing in the way of the
resumption Of varsity foot ball is the
question Of the time which will nee
essarily have to be devoted to practice.
| A recent editorial on the subject says:
Football requires a certain amount
Of time and practice to harden the

Will the university authorities per.

course to participate; ana, II they do,

The development OF . wartime var
sity will naturally not demand as
| much time as our ante-bellum varsi-
need more than was devoted to prac-
tice by the informa1s last fall. Pos
sibly over-training has been one OF
our troubles in recent years. Certainly
the informal team was most success
ful; and the men who played on it
tice would have put them in the pink
Of condition.
! Taking everything into considsra-
ton. the authorities should be able

toms wartime athletic policy is in

Tech is to be congratulated on its
