NEWARK, Dec. 7.--Now that the Stu
dent Army Training Corps is being de-
mobolizcd and the college is to return
TO the pre-war schedule, the students
attention at Delaware Is turning more
and more TO sports. Last night the
new Athletic Council met and organ
lied for the remainder OF the college
year. These officers were elected :
Dean e. Laurence Smith, president ;
Professor George E. Dutton, vlce-presl-
dent; Norris N. Wright, treasurer, and
J. A. Mackie. secretary. The other
members OF the Council are Dr. Walter
". Steel, representing the Alumni, and
Harry Loose and Joseph NJ. Wilson,
representing the student body.
The Athletic Council. as In the past.
will have control over all college sports.
The question Of student athletic dues
was discussed last night. Previously
the students athletic dues was $40 for
the year. As the football season is
now over II was decided that IL would
be unfair TO assess them $40 for ath-
letics.- IL was agreed TO make the
dues S4 a term, but in case the finances
of the council are such when the sec
ond term dues are due that money Is
needed TO conclude schedules, g extra
will probably be assessed each stu
dent.
The matter OF a coach was Informally
discussed, but no action was taken.
Lieutenant Aronwitz, connected with
the Students Army Training Corps, who
coached baseball and has also been
coaching the basketball squad same.
has been mentioned for coach, as has
several others. A coach Will probably
be selected by the first Of the year II is
understood however, that Lieutenant
William J. McAyoy, who resigned as
coach to enter the army. will get the
position back II he wants Il on HIS
return from France.
The basketball prospects were also
discussed. The council approved three
games that Manager Cantwell has
scheduled to be played before the holl-
days, but he was told not 10 close
with any other teams for games until
the council decides just how much can
be spent On basketball. The basket
mall squad was out for practice again
yesterday afternoon. Among those who
were out were Ritz. PLAN, MoCaughan,
Carter, Pearson and Lord. Good news
was received by the basketball squad
yesterday, when It was learned that
Henry NJ. Marston, who Is captain-elect
Of this years basketball team, now sta
TONED at Camp Grant, H., and II. B.
Alexander, now at the Naval Aviation
Field. Seattle, who played on the
varsity last year. will both be back
TO college In a few days. Several other
students now in the service are also
expected back shortly. The three
basketball games that have been sched-
uied are: December "a. st. JOsephs OF
Philadelphia, at Newark; December IS,
Temple, at Newark; December u,
Drexel at Philadelphia.
Student Craig, who attended the meet
ing OF the council last night IN place
OF Mackie, the senior member from the
student body, suggested the orgsniza-
tion Of a Varsity Club. The council
approved Of the plan The idea Is 10
organize a Varsity Club Of ID" men,
every man who has won his ID" in
any sport being automatically a mem
Der Of the club. The club would be
supposed to assist athletes as to
and also look out for Sc
curing new students with athletic
ability.
At the request Of Reed Graves. a
student, the council agreed TO buy two
soccer balls, and allow those desiring
70 play the game the use or Frazer
