Fultz, Huntington, Jack
Magee and Sparrow Robert
son to Supervise Athletics

". S. Langford, "Big Bill" Edwards
and their associates on the college
committee on recruiting for Y. NJ, c. A.
work overseas, reported a cleanup yes
terday and announced the names of
such prominent men in the athletic
world as David L. Fultz, Frank Quinby,
baseball coach at Yale; Ellery c. Hunt
ington, of Colgate; Jack Magee, of
Bowdoin, and sparrow" Robertson.
Among the prominent college ath-
letes of recent years who have enlisted
to supervise the play Of Uncle Sans
fighting men abroad are Harold II.
Short, Floyd Risloy and W. II. Sayen,
jr, of Princeton; George NJ. Clark, Of
Yale; Z. H. Jewett, Of Columbia, who
has two sons in the service; Archie
Hahn, Of Michigan; James A. Blather-
wick. OF Dartmouth, and J. B. Pugsley,
of Colby.
All these men and many others have
agreed to handle for the Y. NJ. G. a.
the athletic work in France with the
expeditionary forces. Over there many
a director has found that in forming
regimental track team every man has
appeared in running suit on field
day. Baseball games are the regular
trenches that the crack of the bat
against the ball vies with the bursting
of German shrapnel shell. Under the
direction of the Y. M. G.. A. half
mile track has been constructed near
the sector which the Americans are
guarding exclusively. AS our forces
increase more tracks will be construct
ed, under the supervision of sparrow"
Robertson.
Ages Vary Greatly
AS an indication of the wide range
of years covered by the men who are
going to France to do their bit, COM
pariscn may be made between Mr..
Huntington and Harold H. Short. The
latter is few years over the draft
age, having been graduated from
Princeton in 1905.
Mr.. Huntington went out from AM
| herst in 1888, and for many years has
been physical instructor at Colgate
University. He is. fifty-two years old
His son, Ellery, jr., was named an ALI
American halfback a few years ago by
Walter Camp. He is now lnc-plung
ing with the American army. The elder
Huntington made application early in
d
cruiting. Acceptance of his applica-
ton shows that there is no age limit
/ for service overseas. The applicant
must pass a rigid physical examination
to satisfy the War Personnel Board of
his ability to endure hardship.
Short was famous lincman or
Princeton football teams in the early
years Of the present century. After
his graduation he was in great demand
as a coach at his alma mater. In the
same year that Short went out from
Princeton, Batherwick was graduated
/ at Dartmouth, where he had been q
team. Since then he has roughcd it az
mining engineer and has acquired
wife and two children.
