Enlarge Draft.
VOTE EXPECTED THIS WEEK
Debate to Continue Today With Ef-
fort 70 Have 20 and 40 Desig-
mated rs New Ages.
ENOUGH MEN AVAILABLE
Baker, March and Crowdcr Arc Pre-
pairing Program to he Made
Public Within Ninety Days,

WASHINGTON. June 26.--Oppo-
sition Of the administration to pro-
posals before the senate for immedf-
ate extension of the selective draft
age limits, voiced today by Secretary
Baker and General March, chief, Of
staff. before the senate military
committee, apparently served to in
crease the senate controversy over
an amendment by Senator Fall of
New Mexico TO the $4,000, O00, 600
army appropriation bill proposing
the age limits be 20 and 40 instead
of 81 and 81 years.
Spirited all-day debate of the
question In the senate, in which i'm
portant revelations of the nations
military program were made, fol-
lowed the military committee con-
ference and-t the senate adjourned un-
til tomorrow In the midst of the dis
cusslon. Tomorrow the fight Is to
be resumed with final vote ex-
pected before the end OF the week.
Before the senate reconvened to-
day Secretary Baker, General March
and Provost Marshal General Crow
der, who went to the capital at the
request of members Of the military
committee spent nearly three hours
behind closed doors with the COM
mittee. The secretary and chief of
staff said legislation to change the
age limits should be deferred for
sixty or ninety days as enough men
for the existing army program are
available and n new and enlarged
/ army program Is now being prepared
for submission to congress within a
few months
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
chairman of the military committee,
told the senate that General Crow
der acquiesced in the policy Of his
superiors and that the military COM
mittee, by a majority vote, had de-
cided TO oppose the proposed draft
legislation as an addition to the army
bill
Sentiment generally was expressed
In the debate that revision of the
draft ages apparently must be re-
sorted to in the near future and con-
sidered by congress next fall at The
is1atsst. General sentiment also was
against lowering the minimum age
below 20 years and for increase of
!. the maximum to at least 35 years.

LEE FOHL' s RULES
FOR TRAINING ARE
EXTREMELY SIMPLE

NEW ORLEANS. March 12.-There
are just two rules for the Indians in
their training camp season.
Ones Go to bed by II: 80 p. m.
and the others use our own com
mon sense about everything else. "
There's no long list OF anti-gambling
regulations and other don'ts prescrib-
ed by Manager Fohl for his proteges.
There's no set time for getting UP
in the morning.
Every man on tho squad knows
that he's being looked after and that
his general behavior is being taken
into account. If he gets foolish he'll
hear from IL.
Fohl has no objection to the play
ers taking a glass of beer now and
then. He figures that it's a benefit
to certain players. And he isn't
against a sociable game OF cards, so
long as the ante doesn't go beyond
what the man can afford. And there
aren't any heavy plungers on his
team, so 1t hasn't been necessary to
set any limit.

TRACK COACHESIN
SCHOOLS HUSTLING
CANDIDATES ALONG

High school track coaches are
hustling out their candidates in prep
aration for the three meets to be
held this season. Managers OF the
teams are arranging engagements be-
tween schools and from present indi-
cations the outdoor cinder track game
lis due for a big boost following DR..
L. II. Battersby's lead in track here.
The Eastern High School mentor
is strong for the track game, and
has had his ideas favored. The
adoption Of the Eastern coach's ideas
appear to have given the sport a
much needed impetus.
As soon as weather conditions war
rant the track candidates will be out
ir full force. Over at Tech the boys
have gone out, and put the running
track in nrst class shape. Eastern
and Western lads have had roustng
meetings at which many have prom
issd to give tho game a trial.
Interest in first year track activt-
ties already warrants the prediction
that some first class runners are in
the process OF development. The
adoption OF the freshman, inter-high
school and championship track meets,
and the many dual meets now being
arranged argues for q healthy sea
son.
Coach Dorman, at Business, is TAX
ing steps to get many candidates out
while over at Tech Coach Apple is
expecting a wealth OF material.
