suit of the general athletics you are
able to get better athletes and better
ball players on your university teams.
GAS regards training tables they are
helpful in many cases, where man is
preparing for one big push, as box
Ing match or a track meet, or even for
a game of football, but they are not
vital assets of ball player who goes
through q long season. 1t is the same
for both college and professional play
ers, although the college season is not
so long.
However, no matter what they do.
I hope to see the old college game come
back. Let's see things as they were
in the good old days before the war.
Every year men try to modify base
ball rules, but every year when we
come back we are still playing under
the same rules, so 1 hope that when
this period has passed with all its ben
efits we will be back again as it was In
former times.
"Above all, when they are making
vital changes in athletics policy, they
should take the word of those men
who have been through the game, and
not let outside men working on theory
dictate to Them"

relieved by message from President
Wilson to Secretary Glass saying that
the president had made an allotment

Treasury officials have estimated
little more than 100000 will be
