Favor Reduction of Expenses

At the thirteenth annual conference of the National College Athletic Association held at the Hotel Astor in New York last Friday discussion centered on the subject of professional coaches and the training table. General opinion seemed to be in favor of the extension of athletic training in the colleges, but that the expenses of the former elaborate activities could be greatly minimized.

Dean Briggs, who with Major F. W. Moore '93, represented the University at this convention said in an interview: "I sincerely hope that this year such expenses in the development of teams as the training table can be considerably cut down. There is no reason why we cannot produce the same interest in contests as before, but with a great reduction in expenses." Major Moore, who is Graduate Treasurer and Secretary of the H. A. A., was reappointed a member of the intercollegiate rules committee for football at this same meeting.
