HEAVY ATHLETIC
SCHEDULE FOR 1919
Conference Rules Are Effective on
January

and reports that athletics will be in
fun swing in 1919. Schedules have
been worked out in all branches OF
athletics. and the college will have q
good share of games here.
The conference had many perplex-
ing problems to debate and solve, re-
sulting from the war. Besides de-
Gliding that all rules of both the Pa
cific Coast and Northwest intercol-
legiate conferences, including the
freshman eligibility clause, be put in
operation January /, 1919, one OF
the most important items at the gath
ering of college representatives was
the adoption of the 1919 football
schedule.
A glance at the full schedule OF
gridiron contests proves beyond
doubt that college sports will be re-
sumed in all their glory in 1919.
No limit was placed upon the num-
Der of players making trips, but sem
timent was manifest that a spirit of
economy prevail at each college at
least until the treasures resumed
their former status.
The officers elected by the Pacific
Coast conference were w. G. Krue-
gel, Washington State College, presi-
dent; DR.. A. d. Browne, Oregon Ag-
ricultural College, secretary Mr..
Kruegel MAS the State College repre-
sentative at this conference. DR..
Solon Shedd was representative for a
number of years. He served in that
capacity since first coming to the
college in 1896. Many inquiries were
made about him at the conference.
DR.. Shedd always took a great inter-
est in athletics, and was especially
fond of football. He never played
when a student, but would undoubt-
edly have been football star if the
sport had existed at Stanford during
his college days. DR.. Shedd's service
on the athletic board will not soon be
forgotten.
RESOLUTIONS Adopted
The following resolutions were
adopted by the Pacific Coast con-
ference:
THAT any student entering any
line of military service with the
armed forces be given the athletic
standing at the close of the war or
when he returns to college that he
held on the date of his withdrawal"
That only members of the 1918
football teams satisfying conference
rules be awarded college athletic let
ters''
According to the first resolution
anyone who has played a team, eth
Ell in the regular army or S. A. T. c.,
will not have the season deducted
from the four years allowed on col
lege teams. However, school work
passed during service in the S. A. r.
G. will count toward sophomore
credit.
The second resolution, regarding
awarding of letters, was adopted be-
cause of the number of players on
S. A. T, c. teams which represent the
colleges this year, but who never
graduated from high school and who
do not intend to return after being
mustered out.
1t was further decided that each
institution, as far as possible, ar
range games on a two-year contract,
each institution to pay its own ex-
penses and keep its own receipts or
have reciprocal guarantee of a rea-
sonable amount.
The conference delegates went on
record as favoring intramural ath-
letics, heartily favoring system
which will insure that every student
in the institution represented in the
conference participate regularly in
some form OF healthful sport.
The Pacific Coast conference track
meet was awarded to the University
of Washington, to be held in Seattle
on June Z. The Northwest confer
ence meet will probably be held at
Pullman
