NO INTEREST IN JUDICIAL RACE

Although this state must elect two associate justices of the supreme court and one judge of the court of appeals, no interest is being shown, and it will be no surprise if Justices Thomas c. Mcclellan and A, D. Sayre are given six-year terms without opposition. No person has been mentioned as the op- ponent of Judge William H. Sanford for his position on the court of appeals, but the fact that Judge Sanford holds by appointment. succeeding Judge John Pelham, deceased, probably will cause someone to run against him.

No request has been made by the
War Department. to the colleges to
discontinue intercollegiate athletics.
Contrary to reports sent broadcast
last night and this morning. instead
Of asking that sports be called OF.

out an official memoranda encour.
aging them In such q way that not
only intercollegiate foot ball Wilt be
allowed but other sports also may be
engaged In.
Last week, following the meeting
Of the college presidents in confer
ence with officials Of the War De-
paftment at Plattsburg, a story was
printed in this column to the effect
that intercollegiate sports would be
allowed, but that arrangements made
for them would have to be effected 50
as not to interfere with the regular
schedule Of military work. This, It
was pointed out, would do away
with long trips, but would encourage
contests between neighboring col-
leges. Sports are to be encouraged
IN the colleges, both intramural and
intercollegiate competition. However.
sports must be run as an adjunct to
military development and not as the
main issue Of college life, as has been
the case in many institutions in past
years.
Probably the rumor that the War
Department had asked the discontinue
ance OF athletic sports got about be-
cause middle western university re-
quested one of the senators from its
state to ascertain the sentiment Of the
war Department on the question of
intercollegiate foot ball. AS a matter
OF fact. the War Department has not
sent out any word as yet to any insti-
tuition in either the nature Of request
or suggestion.
All matters pertaining to military
and educational work in the colleges
come under the direct jurisdiction of
the War Department committee on
education and special training. This
committee has prepared a memorandum
stating it's recommendation as to col
lege sports. and this will be sent out
to all colleges within the next few
days. A member Of that committee
ing the situation:
so far the War Department has
done nothing relative to intercol-
leEiate sports. Our committee has
taken up the matter. and shortly will
send out recommendation to. all the
colleges having Students Army Train
ing Corps units. Instead Of recon-
mending that sports be discontinued
we shall try to encourage them. High
ly specialized intercollegiate sports,
such as have prevailed in past years;
sports that have taken men away
from college on long trips and away
from their general work, should be
done away with. However. we intend
to encourage sports within the col
leges themselves and between neigh
boring institutions"
A Recommendation Of this charao-
ter-and a recommendation from the
War Department to the colleges now
amounts almost to an edict-means
