Effect of Var

1t is obvious, of course, that war
already is having its effect on foot
ball. Freshmen and sophomores are
seeing more action all the time.
Most of the conferences allowing
freshmen to play are doing so for
the first time. The many startling
upsets of the present season are
due in part to the more widespread
use of youngsters. They are not
as consistent as the Juniors and
seniors, and are more likely to turn
in an excellent performance one
game, a ragged showing the next.
In almost every college, football
practically supports the entire ath-
letic program. The present lack of
cash customers is likely to result
in curtailment of minor sports
especially those which are consistent
drains on the athletic department
treasury. Some schools have at
tempted to overcome the transpor-
tation problem by shifting their
games to centers where the trans
portation problem is less of a haz-
ard. But large proportion of
schools find this solution geograph-
cally impractical.
When Washington sports writer
asked Stephen Early, secretary to
the President, what the chances
we're for the continuance Of sports,
he said: 81 frankly don't know
whether sports will be able to
continue or nOt-but certainly hope
they do"
He voiced the hope Of millions
