FOOT BALL BARRED
At COLLEGES AS
WAR MEASURE
War Department Order Pro-
tested by University Of Ne.
braska and Other
Institutions.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Colleges
and universities with students army
training corps units have been ad-
vised by the War department not to
make plans for foot ball this fall. This
became known today when senator's
began receiving protests from educa-
tional institutions i'll their home
states.
Officials of University of Nebraska
advised Senator Hitchcock that such
a step would result in heavy fnan-
cial loss, because the university is un-
der contract to play teams from other
leading colleges, .s-
Plans Already Formed.
Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE possibility
of the complete suspension OF foot ball
in all important colleges and univer-
stiles in the country as awar measure
doomed up strongly tonight as a re-
suit Of the War departments request
that no fall gridiron schedules be pre-
scented by the 400 educational institu-
tons having student army training
corps,
All OF the big universities in the
middle west had already made plans
for carrying out the 1918 schedules
and the request for the abandonment
of the intercollegiate sport came as a
distinct surprise. Practice was to
have started in the big ten" confer
ence next Monday and similar plans
for the practice season were under
way in the Missouri conference.
Whether the War department re-
quest will result in ringing down the
curtain on foot bali for the duration
of the war probably will not be def
nitely established until it is more fully
explained. Officials of the University
of Chicago said the request undoubt-
edly means that ali spare time OF the
students will be devoted to military
instruction instead of athletic and
that under the War department pro-
gram there would be no time for the
development of foot ball.
Every able-bodied student will be
required to devote IA hours weekly to
military drill and AZ hours weekly to
academic studies on military prob
lens" said David A. Robertson, sec.
rotary to President Judson of the
University of Chicago. Under that
program there will be no time for
foot ball" .,
A. A. Stagg, the veteran coach al
the university, pointed to the fact
that at West Point, the players de.
voted less than an hour a day to prac.
tice and said that he would attemp'
to build a team under the same cur,
cumstances.

mean loss of $4,000 to u.s." Stays
