val Academy, this year were aban-
aored this morning when the an
nouncement was made that the course
OF training of Cadets at West Point
had been shortened and that the two
INNER classes will be graduated the
first of next month.
The action of the War Department
IN determing to shorten the course
during the period of the war from
four years to one year was taken be-
cause OF the growing demand for COM
missioned officers in the Army. The
new program will add several hum
dred lieutenants to the Army imme-
diately and upward of 1000 within a
year
In addition TO the fact that the grad
utiaon of the two whole classes within
month will take practically all of
the veterans OF the football squad
away from West Point before the sea-
son is really we'll started, the cram
ming of the work into an intensive
period is going TO leave little time for
athletics of any sort.
The statement that the course OF
their service rivals had neen so short
ened brought real gloom To the grid
iron followers at the Acadenw as hope
,voe stiI1 being entertained that some
arrangement whereby the t-,o might
