St. Louis Lad
Runs Hundred
In Fast irne

Irwin Mahl, a young Western sprint
er, now a resident of st. Louis, has
sent the Mound City followers of track
and field sport wild by running a trial
100 yards in the marvellous time of
9A seconds, figures which, if accom-
plished in correct way, would wipe
all previous records off the slate. The
trial was made on the Washington
University path, and the timing was
done, it is claimed, by pair of com
petent clockers of sprint races.
What has caused the excitement is
the fact that Mahl is training for the
national A. A. U. championship next
month, when he will meet the fieetest
men in the United States over the 100
yard scramble For some time it was
known that Mahl was moving fast, but
nobody thought he was capable of
leaving the century behind him in
much faster than "even time" The
trial has put the St. Louis sprinter
favorite for the gold medal on Septem-
Der 21.
Even good as Mahl is claimed to be.
he will have to crowd on all his steam
to show his heels to some of the pros
pective entries. One of these is How.
ard Drew. holder of the world record
of 35 seconds. who is now preparing
for the fray at Des Moines, la. Con-
trary to all the theories that men do
not come back Drew came back last
spring and showed his oldtime form
in some sprints on the Pacific Coast.
Then there is Billy Ganzemuller, the
intercollegiate champion who will rep
resent the Meadowbrook Club of Phil
adelphia. 1t is said that Joe Loomis
and J. v. Scholz, who won the century
at the Penn relays last spring, will be
among the starters.

Yale Athletics
Await Action
By Government
Plan of Military Officer WEI
Rule Conduct Of An
Sports

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Aug. 31.-No
steps whatever will be taken to decide
whether Yale shall have athletics or
not until the arrival here of the mill
tary officer who is to be sent from
Washington to put into effect the gov
ernment plan for the university dur
ing the coming school year, according
to Professor Robert N. Corwin, head
CT the Athletic Board of Control Of
the university.
No conferences will be held with
Harvard and Princeton, no football or
other schedules will be arranged and
no squads formed in fall sports until
the organization of the work Of the
university is complete under the new
scheme as a part of the war plan of the
nation.
Professor Corwin said to-day that
he regarded the decision of whether
athletics would be organized or not
this fall as resting largely with the
Interpretation and application of the
new draft law. If boys of eighteen
years are to be ordered by their draft
boards to report, he sees no prospect
for sports competition, except of the
most rudimentary nature--certainly
nothing of an intercollegiate charsc-
ter.
Students to Finish Course?
If, on the other hand, the under
graduates of American universities
are to be left in school till they have
finished their course, Professor Cor
win and other Yale athletic officials
believe that there will be a consider
able amount of athletics, the nature
OF which will lie wholly with the gov
ernment.
The impression has been created at
Yale that. inasmuch as the students
VIII De organized as members of the
reserve Army Corps, they will be al
lowed to finish their course. which
consists of three years. training, and
Will then be ready to take their COM
missions in military service
AS the government has established
!nese courses for officers training II
IS not thought that it will cripple them
by calling the members into service
frematurely. but will disregard the
uiait age OF eighteen.
Yale Coach Pessimistic
Professor Corwin has just returned
from a months summer vacation in
Maine and visit of several days to
Professor lie Baron Briggs, of Har-
vard, head of the athletic committee
OF that university. Both deny that
athletic plans for this fall were in any
way discussed.
John Mack, Yale's track coach and
| footbal! trainer, has just returned
from his summer vacation. He is very
pessimistic about football this fall.
and states that he does not think it
| possible for Yale to put all eleven in
the field capable of sustaining public
interest in intercollegiate competition.
n, ne SAID to-day that all the regulars of
the freshman eleven of last fall had
enlisted and were in some branch of
mliltary service, and that, outside OF
a possible class eleven from the incom-
ing freshman class, he does not think
tnat team capable of playing smooth
and strong football could be formed.
