ATLANTA, June 19.-Theyll play
duration football in the bowl
conscious Southeastern Conference
next autumn-and chances are it'll
bear but faint resemblance to its
robust predecessor.
The hows and why's will be dis
cussed here next week end when
the Executive Committee of the r.
school federation meets with ath-
letic spokesmen of the colleges to
chart footballs course.
High on the June 26 agenda will
be questions of wartime eligibility;
the advisability of using Navy cadets
on collegiate varsity teams; prob
lens of transportation, and discus
sion OF schedule shuffling necessi-
tated by suspension of football at
Florida, Mississippi State, MiSsis-
sippi and Vanderbilt.
Thorniest item is that involving
Navy trainees. Only two schools
Georgia Tech and Tulane-have
naval units. Should these institu-
tions use their Navy cadets, many
with previous gridiron experience
elsewhere. it presumably would give
each marked advantage over less
fortunate opponents.

title in the midget class while
Friendship Ramblers triumphed in
the insect class of the Western Di-
vision Boys Club of Washington
Baseball League.
Both were undefeated, Falls
Church in five games and the Ram
blers in seven. The peeWee class
still is playing the first half, but the
race has narrowed pretty much to
battle between Hearst and Eastern
Branch. They meet on Friday on

game that likely will decide matters.
The insect loop now has 10 teams,
but will be enlarged to IL with the
addition of Merrick Boys Club and

staff from 10 to IS men so a fuller
program could be adopted.
The campaign was a success and
a congressional appropriation was
made so the schools could carry on
their enlarged program. 1t was
planned to retain this program after
the war. Even in its first year of
operation it was found very beneh-
cial
Another possibility is that the
boys physical education program
might be put under the schools
military department with both cadet
and gym classes handled by military
men. Shortage of instructors here
is another drawback, however.
Whatever happens to the boys
and we don't know what we're going
to do yet-we certainly will keep the
girls on the longer program DR..
Holmes said. The girls program
hasn't received as much public at
tention as has that of the boys be-
cause no lnterheigh sports competi-
ton is involved and there has been
less newspaper publicity, but it, too,
has proved success.
Even if staffs are cut so that onlv
one or two men remain at each
high school, interhigh sports COM
petition programs still could be kept
near their present level. This sea-
son, with so many coaches availab BILE
one man handled only one mai jor
sport each school year. However, in
the past one coach often cared for
two sports, and even coaching three
sports was not uncommon.
