An idea on which they are basing
their campaign was adopted after
Brink" Thorne had proved its success
among Yale men. He compiled list of
all athletes who had won their "Y' at
Yale between 1900 and 1910. Personal
letters have been sent to every man on
the list, and the responses have been
more numerous than the most opti-
mistic member of the committee had
expected.
This idea is now being developed to
cover the entire country. To fill the
immediate demand made by various
army commanders, physical directors
have been detached from duty at the
camps and environments in the United
States and sent overseas. The stream
must continue to flow not only to the
sector held by the American troops but
to the Italian and French fronts.
After the enormous detail of reach

won their letters at college years ago,

In preparation for the heavy sea-

team, Coach Metcalf has held daily
practice during the holidays on the
South Field running track for those
runners who could come out. The
outdoor season, however, actually
commences at Columbia with the re-
opening of the college on Tuesday.
There. will be a rally of all track
candidates Tuesday afternoon, and
from then until the Brown meet on
April 20. intensive practice will be
held outdoors
The Columbia team appears better

several years. Instead of excelling

being wofully weak in another, Coach
Metcalf seems to have good material

Support Won Fight
at Annapolis for Racing
Militarys Need of Systematic Thoroughbred Production
Recognized by Maryland Legislators

BALTIMORE, March 80. - Colonel
and Churchill Downs racetracks, who
has left Baltimore for Louisville to
make everything shipshape for the
coming renewal of the $4,000 Ken
lucky Derby, declared to-day that it
was an appreciation by the legislators
Of Maryland of the overweening i'm
portance of systematic thoroughbred
production to national defence that
won for racing in the fight at Annapo-
lis for the maintenance of the sport in
the Old Line State.
"The racing and breeding interests of
Maryland," said Colonel VIM, put
forth the argument advanced by Major
General Leonard Wood some years ago
while the general was chief of the
General Staff. that thoroughbred blood
is indispensable in the military horse.
We were supported in this conten-
ton by Major General Kuhn, the COM
mander of Camp Meade; Brigadier
Generals Nicholson and Hero, Colonel
kayound Briggs o. the 31lth Field
Artillery, Colonel Johnson, the COM
mander of the camp OF engineers at
Laurel Park, and other enlightened
officers, and we won in the House of
Delegates, branch Of the Legislature
in which we feared we might be beaten.
Obviously, therefore, the proposition,
which is little understood outside army
circles in this country, brought the
House over
ITO say that we are gratified is put
ting it lightly. This recognition
OF the essential connection between
national preparedness and thorough
bred production. the effectiveness of
which hinges, inevitably. on clean and
successful racing. by the Legislature of
Maryland is highly significant.
To Recognize Racing's Need

OF racing, which ultimately will re-
store the thoroughbred to his own

ments of the great war have made the
maintenance of a great permanent mill

dispensable, the people of the country
may depend upon 1t that the racing
associations of the Old Line State,
working in harmony with Maryland
sportsmcn and breeders, will do their
utmost toward encouraging the pro-
dLction of military horses of the right
sort in numbers that will be of real
military value to the nation.
