For some time State has been carry
ing out something akin to that system.
but through a lack of facilities has
never attained anything general. With
better appropriations, though, from the
state there seems no doubt that the
ideas contemplated for some time will
be inaugurated before next fall.
Competition against other colleges IN
more branches Of sport also is to be
undertaken. While intercollegiate
games in minor sports naturally are go
ing to be curtailed somewhat during
the war, the college authorities will
authorize the development Of varsity ty
contests with other colleges can be
obtained, even to boxing and wrestling.
In fact, the idea OF broadening of such
competition already has been favorably
passed upon. but it is doubtful II It
the idea into effect just yet.
Looking forward to the condition
which will exist after the war, State
will arrange for next fall the heaviest
Games are pending with some of the
strongest elevens and probably two or
threesof them will go through. Johnny
Heiseman. in charge Of foot ball at
Georgia Tech, has accepted date with
State. the game to be played in Wash
ington. and the only hitch may come in
a refusal Of the Georgia authorities to
ratify:it, which. according to Heiseman,
Is unlikely.
States prospects in base ball are
better than last year. and that despite
the loss OF two or three OF the best
players in college. It probably Will be
better or next fall in foot ball than the
majority of institutions In its class, as
fall were of draft age and they already
are I'M the service of the nation. There
is strong possibility that base ball
will be curtailed this coming spring
because of the contemplated early
closing of college. According to present
Indications. there is a Likelihood that
the institution will end its scholastic
year about May l. In that case the base
ball team will shorten Its list Of games
and play only institutions In this local
ity. In. fact. the base ball policy in the
future probably VIII be based on con-
fning the competition in the main in
stftutions in the south Atlantic section.
