Sec. Baker Approves Sport ing Program for United
 War Work Drive.

Secretary of War Baker yesterday gave his approval to the countrywide movement to raise funds in the United War Work campaign and advocated the plan to extend the sport week ac- tivities to all the training camps, and assured the committee that all the commanding officers at the various camps would cooperate in making the sports drive a success. This means that athletic meets, boxing matches, and football games will be played at all the camps and naval stations.
 The efforts of the committee in ar ranging 10 important football games for the drive Is already bearing re- suits, and although Secretary William Roper said yesterday afternoon that the schedule of games was not yet complete word was received from Philadelphia last night that it is likely that the Pennsylvania-Da Dartmouth game scheduled for Philadelphia on Nov g will be transferred to the Polo Grounds, which will give New York aRs a chance of seeing one of the best games of the season.
 Another game which will very likely be played at the" Polo Grounds is the Rutgers-West Virginia game schedui- ed for New Brunswick on Nov! l6. This game may be played here NOV 2 The contest should be a big grldiron attraction,for two years ago the teams played to ' tie and last season played a. 0 to 0 tie game.
 While the possibility of Yale taking aart in any of the games during the week which is to be devoted to sports, is unlikely, it was stated in Boston yesterday that there is a possibility of Harvard and Princeton getting to- gether for a benefit contest. Such game as this would surely draw 9 large gate from the alumni Of the two universities alone. The plans are as yet only in the preliminary stage, but the suggestion has great possibilities
 Secretary Roper yesterday announced the plan of the trap shooters of the country for the big drive, and, for the first time in @ quarter of 8 century, New York will be the scene of a na- tional trap shooting championship. The trap shooters have formulated a plan whereby preliminary shoots will be held throughout the country and
  meets will get together at the Polo Grounds on Nov. 14 and 15. It is es- timated that more than 5000 trap shooters will take part in this national event.
 The letter from Secretary Baker, approving of the sporting week drive, is as follows:
 "On my return from Europe I am more than pleased to learn of the suc- cessful progress which you have made in projecting the plan of the United War Work campaign I have received most gratifying reports of the splen- did spirit of cooperation on the part of the Young Mems Christian Asso- citation, National Catholic War Coun- Gil (Knights of Columbus) Jewish ,> welfare Board, and other agencies The proposal to extend the campaign to all of the military camps large anC small, meets with my hearty ap. proval. In fact, it would be serious mistake not to afford the officers ant enlisted men this opportunity to joir with their fellow citizenS in this great patriotic endeavor on behalf of theil comrades in arms.
 q am confident they will meet witt the hearty cooperation of all the commanding officers in furtherinl \. your plan"
