PRINCETON IN FAVOR OF CONTINUING ATHLETICS

Princeton has declared itself in favor of continuing athletics during the war. The specification has been made, however, that sports will be maintained only as a means of military training. It was at a meeting of the Board of Athletic Control held last week, at which the athletic policy of the university during the coming season was proposed for discussion, that the members of the board expressed themselves in favor of proceeding with all the branches of athletics. The board also expressed its approval of continuing intercollegiate sports throughout the country, with, however, less expense than has prevailed heretofore.

Resolution Adopted.

The resolution outlining the policy of the Athletic Association during the war was as follows:

"Resolved: That we approve the idea of the development of athletic sports as a means of military training and we offer the facilities of the Association to the use of the student battalion for that purpose; and in the second place, we approve the idea of having intercollegiate athletic competition on a simple and inexpensive plan which shall not interfere with the military training, but which shall maintain the athletic traditions of Princeton."
