ATHLETICS WILL
NOT SUFFER ON
WESTERN COAST

San Francisco, CAL, June 18.-All
uncertainty as to the future Of ath-
letics on the Pacific coast "a swept
aside recently by the decision of the
intercollegiate conference to continue
in all lines of endeavor. With def
mite action taken, candidates for the
various teams in the major sports
are actively taking up their training
and the various college athletic Of
ficials are in a position to go ahead
and make up their schedules of
games.
q Stanford is the only university on
the Pacific coast which will not par
ticipate in intercollegiate competition
during the period of the war. With
his exception, the regular schedules
of past seasons will be continued
without any break. 49,
Football, the next major sport to
be taken up, will find all of the coast
cams in action against each other
and the usual Northwestern-C alifor-
MIA intcrsectional contests will be
among the features of the fall season.
Already plans for preliminary train
ing for the various teams are under
way. Some Of these will do a little
light work during the summer, while
others will meet just prior to the fall
opening of college and get in an ex-
ira couple of weeks before the regu-
lar season of play opens. .
While many Of the teams were
badly disrupted last fall owing to the
fact that many star players answered
the call to the colors, the candidates
now have been shaken down to the
younger players, many Of whom got
into the games last year. In this re-
spect the various teams 20 are on a
parity SO hat preseason indications
are that all of the institutions will
start out with little or no advantage
one way or the other.

GIRLS ORGANIZING
FOR ATHLETICS IN
WESTERN STATES

Moscow. Idaho, June 1S.-The fact
hat two girls who ran for positions
on the athletic advisory board Of the
University of idaho recently were de-
feated has spurred the women to
greater efforts in obtaining represen-
tation. While there will be no cleo
ton until next year, the girls already
are organizing with a view to making
a strong campaign when the time
comes for action.
Coach Emundson was the greatest
opponent of the girls and it was
largely his opposition to feminine
representation in university athletics
which defeated the two candidates.
