Blow to College Sports Plans
Here Seen in Ending of OPA

Where the death of OPA likely
will hurt local sports most will be
in the curtailing or setting back of
expansion programs for local and
nearby colleges. most of which we're
waiting for their first postwar
chance to add new athletic facilities
AS the President pointed out in his
speech last night, the price of steel
and other building material is due
for a sharp and immediate rise.
University of Maryland has plans
for stadium seating over 10000
and also a swimming pool, George
Washington University plans a field
house, the Naval Academy a new
stadium and other athletic addi-
tions and Georgetown has been talk
ing of constructing a new gymna-
sium or field house. Any or all of
these may be cut back or postponed
indefinitely.
Sporting goods and equipment al
ready have had price rises this
year since ceilings on these items
were lifted in March. Prices since
have been on supply demand
basis and are IS to 20 per cent over
last years. There's a shortage of
quality goods in practically all lines
and this, more than prices, has af-
fected the flow of goods in this
area. Good quality items are
snapped up at practically any price
as soon as they arrive and even
items of medium and low quality
have been moving steadily.
Admission prices to sporting
