TO FORM NATIONAL
FIELD HOCKEY BODY
Delegates From Many Cities
Will Meet Here Tomorrow
for Women's Association
SPORT HAS HUGE GROWTH

l. q new nation, and now IL is going
to figure as the cradle of new national
sport.
At 3 p. NJ. tomorrow in the audi
torium Of the Young Women's Christian
Association, Eighteenth and Arch
streets, a general meeting will be held
to organize United States Field
Hockey Association. Field hockey for
women has taken such tremendous
strides in the last few years that there
Is now urgent need for such an orsani-
cation.
The proposal has been hailed with Joy
in all sections, and the fair hockey
players Of many cities will be repre-
sented here Saturday.
Baltimore, Washington, Boston. New
York. Philadelphia and even Brooklyn,
n. Y, will have delegates here tomor-
row. and cities too far away for repre-
scntation have cent word approving the
move. according to the report Of Miss
Helen Ferguson, temporary secretary OF
the proposed body.
Philadelphia has it's city organizn- =
tions, as have the other districts: but,
since these have functioncd individ-
ually. IL IL thought national body will
be tremendous MD In the firm estab-
liahment Of woman's field hockey in
America.
Thoroughly Enthused
An enthusiastic campaign Is planned
to put the sport on the program Of every
girls school, public and private, in the
country to instill the ethics of good
sportsma nship and skill into the young
sters. It Ia planned to develop better
hockey players through more competi
tion. English womanhood has known
the benefits Of field hockey these many
centuries back. as II were, and young
American womanhood feels the urge OF
competition.
Two years ago an All Philadelphia
team represented America abroad
when games were played with the Brit
ish. In the near future, as the result
Of the formation of a l. ;. +. Fl. A..
II is planned to send over United
States team, which will CLEAN it's play
ers from every point Of the compass in
Yankeeland.
The season will be extended and al
ready there are plans for "sprlng prac.
ticc" to start June I.

day by some Of the local enthusiasts.

Morgan. the Misses Chcston. Mrs.
Krumhoar. Miss Ferguson and many
other star players OF this district at

If there Is nothing else to insure the
success Of the venture. the enthusiasm
Of the girls interested would be enough
to make il 20 like q ten ton truck down
hill.
Many influential persons arc also back
Of tho movement. not the least of whom
ore the parents of the girls themselves
From strictly neutral standpoint

State College. Pa. Jan. 20.--Inter-
collegiate football has two staunch ad-
yocatcs at Pennsylvania State College
IN the persons Of President John NJ.
Thomas and Athletic Director Hugo
Bezdck. They. together with other
members Of the faculty, feel that i'm
provemcnts can undoubtedly be made
In conducting the sport. but 1t Is gen.
orally believed here that the matter is
not Of 50 much Importance as the criti-
cism made by President A. Lawrence
Lowell, of Harvard, in his annual re-
port would indicate. 49,. .- .--
President Thomas says he believes In
football, because II inHtills In every
student the spirit Of fight and the will
to win.
at is all mistake 10 say that the
men on the blcachers get no benefit. "
DR.. Thomas added. They receive In
'calcunble benefit in the spirit that
surges through them in support of the
team-the spirit of determination and
irresistible attack. American youth is
not 20 dull as to fail to carry over the
spirit into the great fight Of life
Hugo Bezdek, head OF the depart.
nent Of physical education and athletics,
said:
Il do not see where there Is amy
need for undue alarm, for no great
harm has yet come from intercollegiate
football. intercollegiate sports are
maintained for one purpose only-to de
velop character In the men who take
part-and as such they are a purely
educational factor. '.''.
The matter Is largely an individual
problem for each college and a genera
ntatap,ant hn ali
colleges. I cannot see where intercol-
legiate sport has such weight and in
nuepce as to throw things out of gear
True enough, 1t is wise to control and
guide this great field from which 50
much is derived, and this Is usually
charge"

port Of President Lowells contentious
that college athletics are tending to
overstep their. natural bounde, A
stanch stand was taken BY all authori-
ties expressing their opinion against the
trend toward commercialization In coll
lege athletic circles and that it's elimi-
nation would aid both education and
athletics alike.
expressed his stand on the subject rs
follows: THE college must decide
whether football Is sport partici. .
pated In by the members Of the under
graduate body as an incidental part Of
their college careers or whether COL
leges exist for the training and develop
ment Of football playefs.''
Prof. James A. Richardson, head Of
the faculty representation on the ath-
feared were the danger Of professional =
ism creeping In and the demand for q
winning team at oil costs. He added,
these contingencies are more danger
Gus than the strictly public interest in
the sport, although II is true that com :
mercialism in the form Of big gate
receipts Is to some extent bad in
hucnce."
In the minds Of the Dartmouth stu
dent body President Lowell Is judged
to be In the right, IN 70 far as the
present over emphasis on athletics is
concerned. But the undergraduates
stand nt variance In response to the
statement that too much cOmmercialism
is attached to football in its present
state Of development. They feel that
It Is necessary. as all other teams nre
financially dependent upon football for
support.

Princeton Ranks Divided

Princeton, n. j., Jan. 20.--Presi-
dent John Grier Hibben. Of Princeton
University, has refused TO comment
upon the press reports Of the statement
Of President Lowell, Of Harvard. to
the effect that intercollegiate football
is looming too large in college circles.
Not having seen President Lowells
report and having before me only the
press extracts, | do MOI leel like making
any comment upon his statements"
declared President Hibben. II would
wish. however" he added, ito express
my willingness to CO. operate with any
movement to minimize the undue en-
phasis placed upon football contests"
Dean Howard McClcnahan. Prince
tons representative in the big three
councils. declined to comment upon the
proposal TO lessen the emphasis. At
the same time. however. undergrad
uate opinion at Princeton was keenly
interested. in the situation. Most Of
the students appear to believe that GER
tain undue emphasis does exist, but
that It Is not due primarily to outside
causes, and that proper measures in
the colleges themselves would prove the
proper remedy. Others agreed with
President Lowell, and still others
thought. that intercollegiate football is
perfectly all right az 1t stands today
and should not be tampered with.

Yale President Silent

Now Haven. Conn.,, Jan. 20. -- All
iae was interested in reading the
s,atement Of DR.. Lawrence Lowell, Of
Harvard, in which he said that univer-
sities and the public are making too
much OF football. An effort was made
70 get a statement from Or. James
Rowland Angel, Yale's president, but
ne declined to say anything at this time.
II may be that later DR.. Angel Will
talk on the subject.
Prof. Clarence w. Mendell. the
chairman of the athletic association,
SAID he would not comment on DR..
Lowells statement, as II was purely q
matter of university policy.
1T is nothing that the athletic as
sociation has anything to say about, I"
frof. Mcndell said. "It Is a question
10 be decided by the corporation"
The sentiment, as far as could be
iearned among the members Of the Yale
iHeuity, differs from that at Cambridge.
Dr' Angel, an athlete himself, in his
nrst address here less than year ngo
said he believed In policy Of "athletics
,or everybody" 1t was reported that
r. Angel would be for a curtailment
