CHICAGO Sept. 1.-THE possibility OF

ali important colleges and universities in
m. country "a a war measure doomed up
strongly tonight as a result OF the War
pepartnent request that no fall grid
iron schedules be arranged by educa-
toual institutions having student army
raining corps. There are four hundred
universities and colleges scattered
through the country with student corps
All Of the big universities in the mio-
die West had already made plans for
Carrying out the 1918 schedules and the
rsouest for tho abandonment OF the
Intercollegiate sport came as a dis
unct surprise. Practice was to have
started ia the big Ten conference next
Monday and similar plans for the prac.
,re season were under way In the Mis-
souri, Valley conference. Extensive
scnedules had been arranged by every
important institution. many Of the games
being scheduled with service elevens
Ofhcials OF the University of Chicago
sad the War Department request I'M
doubtedly means that all spare time or
the students will be devoted TO military
instruction instead OF athletics and that
there would be no time for the develop
ment Of football.
A 81 Hour ProEra NINE.
-Every able bodied student will be
enrolled In the military unit and will
live exactly under training camp con-
dItIons, devotng fourteen hours weekly
TO military drill and forty-two hours
weekly to academic studies on military
problems" said David A. Robertson,
secretary 10 President Judson Of the
University OF Chicago. Under that
programme there will be no time for
football. II would be impossible to
spare the time to train men for the
game.
The great need. Of course, is the de-
wlopmeEt of officers for the army, and
football must be given up them will
Re no other course to pursue
Aonzo a. Stage. the veteran coach at
the university. was surprised at the re-
quest. as he understood that the military
programme would not interfere with the
game. He pointed to the fact that in
the development OF football at West
Point the players devoted less than an
hour day to practice. and that he
would attempt to build q team under the
zane circumstances.
No Reason for Suspension.
Stagg said: II can see no reason for
the suspension OF the sport. Football
undoubtedly would make better officers.
Every member of the 1915 University OF
Minnesota eleven, both regular and
substitute, is an officer m the army. and
each is giving a good account OF
himself in France. Former stars Of
Chieagos football field also are maxi
ing good as officers"
The abandonment of the game would
result in heavy financial losses, a. the
proceeds Of the sport usually met the
