Bowling is expected to pick I'D with
the coming of cold weather and much
greater general interest in the sport

expressed by Harry Krauss, kingpin
OF local alleys for many years. Yes
terday, when Krauss was asked about
the bowling situation, he held UP
both hands and replied that cit is
worse than war" However, here is
what Krauss had to say generally
concerning the sport in Washington
Right now bowling is in worse

with the game. Things have hardly
been moving at all. there being prac-
tically no match games played and
little bowling Of ANY kind. at
tribute much of the present inertia
to the influenza epidemic, as,I per-
sonally know that two leagues have
called OF their schedules because of
sickness of so many players Also,
people have not been overanxious to
get together on the alleys because
OF the general fear Of the influenza
germ. To give you an inkling of
how things have stood for the last
three weeks, tell you that the Dis
trict League has had matches sched-
uled for practically every night for
more than two weeks. but has not
yet rolled one. 1 feel sure that with
the coming of cold weather and the
probable consequent curtailment of
the influenza epidemic. the game win

deal Of difficulty regarding the pin

Hours that have been set aside fol

for practice of the foot ball team
from to 6 o'clock Monday afternoons
| Thus the foot ball team will have -four

programs that Coach Jack Moakley
has arranged in the past for inter-
college and intercompany games. An
attempt will be made to provide sports
and exercises that will be of physical
benefit and at the same time be enter
tanning.
! The general scheme of recreation
that Prof. Young will work out will be
of an intercompany nature. COMPETE
ton will be stimulated among the va
rious units of the S. A. T. c., the naval
mel and the marines and efforts will
be devoted to encouraging a large
number of men to take part in the
games. Each company will organize
i teams to take part in the competi-
lions.
Plans Not Complete.
Foot ball plans are not, yet COM
pleted, but the S. A. T. c. will turn
out some sort of team. On account of
limited material, limited time for
practice and the very late state, it
will not be possible to turn out an
eleven that will maintain the stand
ard of foot ball played by Cornell in
recent years. 1nasmuch as all other
colleges are facing the same condi-
lions. however, no one team will have
any special advantage over another"
Military authority rulings have
necessitated a complete rearrange-
nent of foot ball plans and schedules.
The entire student body of about six
teen hundred men has been divided ac-
cording to their military classification
/, into three groups. Styled the Engi-
neers" the ARTS and Science" which
includes medicine, agriculture. ETC.,
and the Vocational" Teams are be-
ing developed in each of these groups
Each of these three teams will have
a distinct organization and will meet
on the gridiron. After October % the
/. coaches will select about thirty men
from all three squads and these VIII
be the real varsity team for the play
ing out of the schedule as a repre-
! sentative team during November.
This is the new plan that has been
brought out of the War Department 6
, ruling and it is believed that it will
work admirably: An hour and half
will be allowed each day for practice
In November games from the old
| schedule stand as follows: Rutgers al
New Brunswick on the 18th. Camp
Sherman at Morgantown on the 23d
and Washington and Jefferson at Fair
mont on Thanksgiving. November I'd
and 9th will be filled with home games

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October &c
A forward pass in the closing minutes

a 7-to-o victory over the University

behind them. He was a sure and
steady batter because all winter long
in his room in Little Hall he swung
two or three bats together regularly
the motion and the drive, and years
before that in the back yard of his
home in Brooklyn he had trained his
eye to acute keenneSS and his muscles
to quick agility by slamming at a
base ball which hung on a rigging
hin like a bullet if he wasn't quick
enough to meet it with his bat. And
so when he won his place as all
American catcher in freshman year it
was because he had combined hard
training in developing his wonder
full throw to second and his remark
able sureness behind the bat with
unusual native talent.
"He played third base, then short
stop, during the rest of his base ball
career, because he was more needed
in the infield. and again his power to
concentrate ON the thing he had in
hand gave him his place as all-Amer-
lean shortstop. In the third Yale
game at New York in his freshman
year in that celebrated Princeton
finish, when with one man out the
team brought in six runs in the last
inning and won out against a score
at the beginning of the inning of
and the bases full, made the hit that
brought in the first run that started
the heavy scoring. And again in the
last Yale game in his senior year it
was fitting that he as captain of the
team should win the championship by
the hit that scored the winning run
in the final score of 3 to 1. One thing
most characteristic of him was that
he was unwilling to be only a good
athlete. He had high ambition to
be a good scholar-which he was
and shaved all one college term be-
tween base ball seasons in working
for the Princetonian, which he made
with high record. 1t would be
superfuous to tell here anything more
of his splendid career at Princeton,
other than that the qualities SO many
Princeton men know so intimately
won for him a popularity of unusual
extent and founded upon>-the most
solid basis. He was popular because
he went out of his way to like the
other man. He was president of his
class"
Bryan Morse claims that he would
have had the heaviest foot ball team
in the high schools this year had the
influenza epidemic not prevented the
games. Incidentally, Morse is not
backward in saying what he thinks
would have happened to some of the
other elevens.

important Questions to Come
Before Philadelphia Meet
ing Next Month.

The annual meeting of the Amateur
Athletic Union. to be held in Phila-
delphia November II and IS. prom
Uses to be one of the most momentous
in the history of the organization.
Questions having to do with the re-
adjustment of track and field ath-
letics after the war and problems
arising from the present conflict will
be laid before the delegates for their
consideration and decision. Their
verdict will have far-reaching affects
and the various officers and other
representatives of the union are col
lecting data in order to be prepared
to meet these issues squarely and
fairly.
Among the subjects that are to be
considered are resolutions barring
from all national championship games
athletes of foreign Affiliations and the
status of an athlete after the war
who during the hostilities occupied
position as coach. INSTRUCTORS or
physical director at a cantonment or
with the service units abroad.
OF these, the most important I'M
doubtedly is the one bearing on the
amateur status of the athlete who
during the war has accepted pay for
acting in the capacity of instructor
or recreation director at a service
camp. Under normal conditions such
action would Immediately disqualify
and PROFESSIONALISM such athlete. In
the present circumstances. however,
such action bears an entirely differ
ent aspect, the work in many cases
being carried on for patriotic reasons
and at a heavy financial loss. as well
as at the expense of broken home
ties. AS result it is confidently ex-
pected that the following resolution,
introduced to cover this contingency,
will be quickly adopted:
That in accepting such positions
many have done SO at a great sacri-
fee. leaving their homes. families,
business, positions, etc. to go far from
home or over the cas-. feeling that in
this way they could be useful in help
ing to win the war; be it therefore
Resolved, That no person who shall
have been eligible to compete as an
amateur at the beginning of the war
shall be considered as having forfeited
his amateur status by accepting a
position such as mentioned above un-
less he shall continue in said employ
ment after the war is over"
