YOUNG ATHLETES
IN COLLEGE SPORTS
Athletic Teams During Com
ing Year Will Be Composed
of inexperienced Material.
BY n. c. BYRD.

College athletic teams during the
next year will be composed of more
youthful and less experienced mater
ial than in the whole history of col
legiate sport, IL present indications
hold true. Particularly will this be
true If the new draft laws relative to
men who have become of age since
June 5 a year ago are put into opera
ton quickly enough to take out OF
the colleges men of that class. 1t
means that there will be very few
athletes over twenty-one years OF age.
That there will be plenty Of foot
ball this fall is certain, even though
the quality of the foot ball Is not
going to be measured up to previous
standards. Stars Of college foot ball
this coming fall are going to be the
graduates of last spring of the big
prep and high schools. And naturally
these men are not going to show as
well as the older men of former sea-
sons.
Foot ball is sure to be played in
the cantonments and by the high and
prep schools. However, the game in
the colleges is just as certain to show
further deterioration, as is the gen.
eral standard of all sport, judged
according to pre-war standards. Can
tOnmenC 1901 Dali was given pfoIii-
nent place in sport records in 1917.
and this year it will attain even
greater prominence. 1t should show
a corresponding increase in popularity
and general worth to the degree Of
inferiority of the game on college
fields.
