All of Cornells intercollegiate ath-
leticS, except basketball. will be
abandoned until the end of the
school year in June, the executive
board of the athletic association
announced today.
The board voted this most dras-
tic retrenchment in Cornell's his
tory at a meeting late last night.
The retrenchment does not affect
football because Cornell has no
spring football training.

comes very important to select suen
projects as are needed. as will serve
useful purpose. and as will result in
real benefit. not only for the present
but If possible, for future genera
tions.
The Muskingum has such possi-
bilities. 1t might in fact. be made q
working model for a thorough con-
servation Job. II carried out In q
comprehensive way it would be the
largest project Of its kind yet UNDER
taken. 1t could be made the practi-
cal working laboratory in this field
not only for the United States but
for other countries as well.
The cost might range from so to
100 million dollars, depending on the
extent OF the development and the
degree of flod control furnished for
the Ohio river. 1t would. Of neces-
sity. be financed largely by the Fed
eral Public Works Program. It would
employ thousands Of men. many Of
whom could start work at once.
Much Of the work, such as clearing
reservoir sites and stream channels,
forestation and soil conservation
work would involve an enormous
amount Of hard labor. These men
can be drawn from ths unemploysd
In the district and also from the
nearby centers Of unemployment, re-,
ducing transportation to a minimum.

what authority could direct the con-
struction and administer the opera
ton OF the works? No legal machin-
cry existed for doing these things.
Then from the pen of DR.. Morgan
came new code. which made this
coordination possible-the Conser-
vancy Act OF Ohio. 1t made posi-

Unconsciously the valley seems to
have been preparing itself for Coop
Grating with President Roosevelt's
program. In 1927 GAINESVILLE made a
preliminary survey Of its flood prob
lens. The Muskingum-T -Tuscarawas
Valley Improvement association was
formed. Other communities develop
ed plans for control and improve
ment. In 1880 the state authorized
general survey and report by the
Dayton Morgan Engineering CO. on
the water resources OF the entire
Muskingum watershed. This includ-
ed all phases OF water control ad
use. as we'll as the possibilities Of
forestation and control Of soil ero-
sion. power, navigation. etc.
The United States army engineers
made similar Investigation OF the
Muskingum about the same time.
Much educational work has BEEN
done during the past three years by
the Valley association, and the far
mers and residents generally are well
informed as to the need for and value
of water control and soil conserva-
tion works.

tive director Of the National Recla-

calls for a great variety Of water con-
troll and conservation works. These
include four great floor retarding ba.
sins. such as used in the Miami val
ley. and number of smaller ones.
The main reservoirs are located on
the Sandy creek. Wills creek, the
Walhonding and the Licking. Some
OF these will have permanent lakes in
their lower portion. while the hill
sides and marginal tracts will be for
ested for parks. game preserves and
recreational areas.
Other reservoirs or lakes will be
provided for stream control to fur
nish ample supply OF pure water in
summer for farms. homes and indus
trial use. The recreational value OF
these lakes for boating, fishing,
swimming and camping is an asset
for future generations.
Deforestation and erosion. which
is fast spelling the utility and beau
ty OF much Of the region, will not
only be stopped. but definite progress
started in the opposite direction. to
reclaim and improve the area. This
will involve the construction Of

stress the Importance Of the forma-

''It is our opinion that If such au-
thority does not exist. there will be
very little Chance Of getting much
work under way financed by the fed
eral funds"
The residents OF the Muskingum
Watershed. through an organization
perfected by them and known az
The Muskingum-Tusca Valley
Improvement Association. have Pc
titioned under this law for the for
nation Of the seventeen counties
principally affected into conser-
Muskingum watershed Conservancy
District. The petition has been filed
n the Common Pleas Court OF Tus-
carawas County at New Philadelphia
and will be heard there on May 20
by Conservancy Court composed OF
the judges OF the Common Pleas
Courts Of the seventeen counties In
cluded in the proposed district. II
the Conesrvancy Court acts favorably
on the petition and creates the dts
trict. everything possible OF a legal
and engineering nature will have
been done to put the valley in Q
state Of one hundred percent pre-
paredness to take advantage OF any
funds which may be made available
through the federal unemployment
and public works bills.
The Conservancy Act is broad
enough and flexible enough to per-
NIT adjacent communities which
have flood or water conservation
problems to petition to be included
in the district Indications now are
that the Little Muskingum territory
in Washington County and the Rose
vile and Crooksville districts in Per-
ry County will be among such inde-
pendent petitioners. Z

and that 1t will return benefits not
only to the Muskingum Watershed
but also to the state and to the ma
ton so far as flood prevention Is
concerned. On the principle that an

Midd|eweight Champ Meets

15-Round Route.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n 1EW YORK, August 9.-Ben
M Jeby, who is recognized in
/ Y New York as middleweight
champion Of the world, but
who hasn't carried his claims far
outside, runs into one Of the
toughest tests in his career tonight,
when he faces Lou Brouillard of
Worcester, Mass, in a 15-round
title fray at the Polo Grounds.
Brouillard is a southpaw and
puncher, which makes him a tough
customer for any fighter, and the stolid
East Slider never has faced an op-
ponent who fights with reverse Eng
lish. In addition, the husky French
Canadian has the habit Of putting hi
head down and singing punches from
all the unexpected angles. He hasn't
a great knockout reputation, but he
was good enough to win the welter-
weight title and to whip Mickey WAL
ker his last time out.
Jeby also Is an aggressive fighter,
but he never has shown quite as good
form as he did in winning his title
recognition here by stopping Frankie
Battaglia in IL rounds last Winter.
A crowd Of only about 10000 Is ex-
pected at the Polo Grounds as the
lack of color in the bout appears to
have Offset the top price Of $3.50.
Brouillard has been made q slight IA
vorite in the betting on the strength
Of his fine showing in training.
