DETROIT, Jan. 1.-The move
ment to improve the health and
physical welfare of the Nations
students during the war crisis had
gained fresh impetus today as the
National COLLEGIATE Athletic Asso.
ciation added its voice to those Of
the Coaches Association and Physi-
cal Education Association for a
heavier, better balanced program
in this field.
The N. c. A. AS closing session
was featured by the approval OF a
recommendation for the establish
ment of at least three hours a week
compulsory physical education for
students, which will be forwarded
to the Association Of American Col
lege Presidents at its convention at
Baltimore on Friday.
Other developments on the final
day of the four-fold athletic con-

cluded election of Matty Bell OF
Southern Methodist as president
of the coaches; selection OF New
York as the site of the 1912 coaches
sessions and an approving vote to
foster a consolidation of high school
and college grid rules.
There was some agitation for a
coaches meeting apart from the
regular N. C. A. A. conference, with
more than one vote for a conclave
at the scene of bowl game.
Bell is the first Southerner to
ascend to the presidency since the
late Dan McGugin of Vanderbilt
held that Office.
