PROSPECTS VERY BRIGHT
FOR WARTIME ATHLETICS
Many Events Of General Sporting
Interest Scheduled for

NEW YORK. March lG-With the
Tenn relays the track and field cham
pionships g the Intercollegiate Assoc
cation OF Amateur Athletics. the big
American regatta on the Severn River
at Annapolis. and the usual college and
rrep school athletic meets scheduled for
April and May the prospects for war
time athletics this year are bright.
Competition which will decide cham
p!onshipS in nearly every branch or
college athletics has received the stamp
OF favor by a big majority Of colleges
throughout the country Interest which
Jagged because OF the introduction Of
Informal athletics" last year is being
revived. and the colleges which fail

Following in the footsteps OF the
United states National Lawn Tennis
Association. which WAS the first big
organization TO take firm stand in
favor of continuing its peace time pro-
gram. every national amateur and coll
lcS!ate body has come out in favor or
the old-time policies that governed
sports before the war. The only big
sport body which has not restored
championships is the United States Golf
Association.
Arguments pro and con have been
made in a few instances for curtaiiinS
sports. but the sentiment which rules
the majority Is a sentiment which i'm
pcls the solons Of spor; 10 go ahead
as far as they can, 10 conduct athletic
events on the largest possible scale and
make no provisions for wartime re-
striction until they arc met.
Perhaps the most unexpected. and
one of the mos, welcome moves met

the American Rowing Associations
which is planning TO conduct Il great
American Henley at Annapolis. In
order TO make ii more democratic, the
rowing solons invited schools in the
Middle West and Far West which fos-

without saying that the interest III
rowing is booming. just as interest in

In compiling these statistics. IL will

Crisp followed in the scoring. These
men were all new at the game. and
Coach Ecrnier is expecting big things
from them mex; season.
/; is a matter OF regret here that q
