Sports Status of Servicemen
To Enter Colleges Uncertain
Nations 625 Big Schools Don't Yet Know
Which ESQ Will Be Used by Army, Navy

You cannot find a college presi-
dent anywhere who can answer this
question and you can find 625 of
them who wish they could. Perhaps
the list has not yet been compiled
or, at any rate, not completed.
Meanwhile, speculation among ed
ucators is complicated by various
questions concerning the future
which cannot be answered, either.
Rated AS Undergraduates.
1t is known that the Army con-
templates submission of picked
soldiers to $50 colleges next May
and that the Navy will follow suit
in July. How long they will remain
is not known. The number also is
not known. 1t is assumed that COL
leges which have had long estab-
lished ROTC or naval training
courses will be on the selection list.
But that is only an assumption
Soldiers and sailors will be in
cluded in certain courses and it may
well be that where specified courses
are lacking instructors will be as
signed for the work. These students
will be considered as part of the un-
dergraduate body of the various COL
leges. They will be under control of
institutional authorities with, of
course, an officer detailed as nominal
commander who will cooperate with
the college dons. All this, at least,
is the way in which college authori-
ties seem to understand the War
and Navy Departments plans.
These students should not be con-
fused with those attending officer
training and other courses now cur
rent at various seats of learning
for instance, the Army post ex-
change school and the schools for
training embryo naval officers at
Princeton and elsewhere. These
schools have their separate in
structors and separate government.
Athletic Status Uncertain.
When the $50 colleges selected are
named and when the soldiers and
sailors are at their studies, will they,
as undergraduates. be permitted to
participate in intercollegiate sports
as members of varsity teams? This
remains to be seen. 1t will be a
matter of ruling by the War and
Navy Departments.
SO far as colleges which intend to
carry on in competitive sport are
concerned, it may be said that these
soldier and sailor student athletes
could, to put it mildly, be used.
Some athletic directors with whom
we have talked think that the Gov
eminent authorities will be quite
willing to have their students en-
gage in varsity sports.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. Jan. 49,
Nays basket ball team bounced
back into winning ways today. easily
defeating an impotent Rutgers,
47-27, to give the Midshipmen an
even break in their first four games.
Rutgers went ahead, Az, shortly
after the game opened with the
Msddies' second-string on the firing
line, but Navy evened the count and
went ahead, 14-12 when Dick Rain
counted five points.
Just before the half ended, Rain
and AL Cameron dropped a pair of
goals to send Navy out in front,
27-17.
After giving way to the first team
in the second quarter, the reserve
string went back to start the last
half, and quickly improved on its
lead. Bud Bowler collected two
goals, followed by a field shot by
Norm Ginsberg and foul toss by
Jim Gale for the Scarlet.
But it was all Navy from then on,
and with Rain heading the parade,
the sailors boosted the score to 1928
Gale left the game at this point and
the Midshipmen crashed through
time and again for easy setups.
A mixed Navy team played the
final quarter.
A crowd of about 1000 persons,
including Gov. O'Conor and Rear

most excited sports crowds we
ever saw was at an American
League playoff game years ago
when the circuit spread as far
West as Chicago. That was the
night when Joe Carr, the league
president, sat on the stage in a

could keep his mind on the game
for wondering whether the floor

packed in so tightly they couldn't

Our complaint then was that
the players were too good, espe-

in the back court until someone
got near enough to shoot, then
there'd be couple of passes too
fast to follow and the ball would

Good Year in Athletics

CHICAGO, Jan. % (PD. Inter
collegiate athletics in the Nation
enjoyed good year during 1922
better year, in fact, than might
have been expected during the
ominous days following the declara-
ton of war.
1t was a good year in these re-
spects: There were almost as many
participants in college sports as in
the previous year and public inter-
est seemed to be as great as usual.
Conditions. of course, varied in
different sections. Problems which
developed in the East were different
from those confronting Western
colleges and universities. Attend
ance in football increased as the
season progressed and the overall
drop was relatively slight in view of
the fact that the 1941 figures were
Of record proportion.
Outlook Generally Uncertain.
Looking ahead to intercollegiate
athletics during the coming year.
the only safe thing to say is that
the picture generally is uncertain.
This does not mean that collegiate
athletic men are not taking positive
action. To the contrary. at the
annual business meeting of the Ma
tlonal Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton every man reported that his
organization had thoroughly dis
cuSsed the matter of continuance
and had gone on record as ready
to carry on intercollegiate athletics.
These men know that collegiate
athletics are making an essential
contribution to the war effort.
The Army and Navy are complet-
Ing plans to contract with large
number of colleges and universities
for special training of servicemen.
The type of physical conditioning
work which will be given to the
Army and Navy man sent to the
schools has not as yet been fully de-
termlned. However, college ath-
letic men throughout the Nation
are ready to Cooperate fully in
whatever program the military
leaders decide upon.
The benefits of athletic conflict
are many and participation is en-
couraged by many responsible mill
tary leaders. To censure a young
man for competing in football sew
eral months before he goes into mil
itary service is grossly unfair.
One thing is certain for 1913:
There will be intercollegiate ath-
letic competition if present condi-
tions obtain.
How Sports Were Affected.
Looking back on 1912, these de-
velopments affected college ath-
letics:
Coaching stats were depleted by
enlistments and the draft.
Many athletes we're drafted or en-
listed.
Military leaders called for phvsi-
cal hardening courses in colleges.
Travel restrictions affected at
tendance and team movements.
Military services utilized college
athletic plants. =
Congress approved the drafting of
IL and 10, year old boys.
The Army and Navy announced
plans to send servicemen to colleges
The NCAA voted to waive the res
toence rule and go ahead with meets
and tournaments during 1913.
Inc NCAA passed q resolution re-
questing Army and Navy to allow
servlcemen sent to college to COM
pete in intercollegiate athletics.
