STUDENTS WANT SPORTS
By PAUL PREP

TNTERSCHOLASTIC athletic activl-
l. ties which at the present time form
such great and interesting part Of the
average school boys life may be done
away with entirely in a short time. This
much Is evident in the annual report,
which Edwin Wolf. president OF the
Board OF Education. made yesterday.
In this report President Wolf stated
emphatically that more physical train
ing ls desired in the local high schools,
lhere are two periods n week devoted
TO this work in each of the schools
President Wolf, however, wants more.
and doesn't care whether Il comes be-
fore, during or after school hours, just
as long as the students receive the train
ing.
or course. IL such a slight matter as
interschool sports should happen to in
terfere. the interscholastc events must
| give way to physical training. Presl-
dent VOLTS contention is that with each
school having first teams" the average
student doesn't get enough physical
training. The only ones to benefit are
those who play on the first teams"
No Military Training
| President Wolf. when interviewed last
evening, said that if possible he would
like to have the physical training In the
| public high schools run OH a plan SINH
lar to that employed in the various mill
| tary camps. Not the drilling with guns
or bayonets. but the athletic program. in
which every one takes an active part
This is splendid plan are should be
encouraged. 1t wonld do the high school
students world OF good physically.
! Perhaps President Wolf. however. forgot
that virtually every army and navy
camp, with this extensive physical and
military training. still found time TO
have first teams More than that,
| they were represented by second. third,
fourth and many times fifth teams"
Must Find Time
! 1t should not he thought that Presl-
| dent Wolf Is anxious 10 see interscho-
/ lastlc events done away with. Such is
not the case. He is willing that they
continue with the condition that the
students all get a thorough physical
training.
The only feasible way to make this
possible at present is to make the extra
periods Of physical training compulsory
and to be taken during the regular
school hours. Many boys in the higl
schools find it necessary to work after
school and It would cause them to dis
| continue their studies II forced to train
after schools and thus lose their posi-
tions.
1t is not expected that the alumni
students and athletic directors OF the
various high schools will be in favor ol
disseminating interscholastlc sports
These games do more to promote schoo
and fighting spirit than hundred pc
riods of physical training. 1t Is on tha
athletic field that the majority or ths
hest students In the schools are found
