statement ne made to r. Warren Sailor,
Cornell. 1907, chairman director OF the
campaign TO finance Cornell.
In his annual report to the board OF
trustees last month. DR.. Schurman
caused a sensation In Cornell circles
by recommending that intercollegiate
athletics be displaced" by intramural
sports. According to Mr.. Sailor, the
president now says
what want is physical training
for everybody either in connection
with military training or for itself,
such as intramural or interclass ath-
letics. Intercollegiate athletics will
take care OF itself II would not serve
my ends to abolish Intercollegiate
athletics"
A movement to revive rowing this
year instead OF waiting until 1920. has
been launched by undergraduates who
demand that a crew be turned out this
year and have already pledged con-
siderable sum OF money toward that
end. A novel feature that came TO

Indication of entering upon an era of
Unprecedented popularity and prosperity
at the time when our country entered
the world war. Baseball along with
many other lines OF our accustomed &C
tyities then had to shoulder Its share
OF responsibilities and make Its sacri-
tces. which II did cheerfully.
Up to the time of the signing OF the
armistice terms. only a few weeks ago
II would have been difficult to make a
prediction as to the future of the game
Almost over night the situation changed

conditions.
II is TO meet the expectations Of thin
-eawakened interest that I am more
than anxious to present to the New Yori
public club that will need no apologies
from loyal Yankee supporters.
feel I am warranted in taking ar
optimistic view of the clubs prospect:
Cor the approaching season. II has beer
