TOLD 8! PRESIDENT
'Head of University Says Intra
mural Sports Will Put
Men in Shape to
rr Serve Colors.
Also Hopes It Will Remove
Present Tone of Unrest
on Campus.
“Our big motive in fostering intramur
al athletics,” said President Campbell
yesterday, “is to interest every man of
the University in some kind of sport so
that his physical condition- will be of
the very best when he is called to serve
with the colors.” The work will be under
the direction of Dean Walker who will
give his entire time to coaching the men
and watching for their health. It is ex
pected by the president that every man
will take an active interest in the work
and thus build up his physique to the
highest point.
“One can easily see,” said the presi
dent, “that the army lays much stress
upon athletics by reading accounts of
the various army football teams in the
papers. The officers realize that the men
are much more congenial with one an
other and go about their work with a
better spirit.”
To Improve Tone on Campus.
Another important phase of the work
which the president hopes will be brought
-out is the altering of the tones of the
students on the campus.
“The interest in inter-collegiate atli
I
h-tics will be below par all during the
war,” said the president, "therefore, by
a system of intramural athletics we
hope to counteract this lack of inter
est.” It is hoped that the sports will
keep down the spirit of unrest which
has characterized the campus since the
close ol' the football season.
To Have New Field Ready Scon.
The members of the administration
hope to have the new athletic field com
pleted by spring so that contests can
hi held there as soon as possible. It is
desired to have the tenuis courts on the
golf links fixed up in better shape and
probably a new cement court added to
the one in the rear of the library.
VOLUNTEERS NOT BARRED
FROM MARINES AND NAVY
Colonel Bowen Says Draft Rule Setting
December T5 as Limit Excludes
These Lines.
Colonel Bowen, commandant at the
University, believes that the rule exclud
ing all ’ men from voluntary enlistment
after noon, December 15, does not in
clude the navy or the marine corps, as
these branches of the service have no
draft. He is of the opinion that men
who have not been actually called forth
by the local boards may enlist in either
branch, after December 15, provided they
pass the examination.
Following is the draft rule, quoted
from a letter received by Colonel Bowen
fr m the headquarters of western de
partment, office of military training
camps:
"Men who have been called for physi
cal examination, by local draft boards,
become ineligible for voluntary enlist
ment. From and after noon December 15
no registrant whatever may enlist vol
untarily in the military service of the
United States.”

DRAFT QUESTIONAiRE HERE
Professor Reeder Receives Advance
Copy of Pamphlet.
Professor It. P- Reeder has received
an advance copy of the questionnaire,
that will later be sent to every man in
the United States, who was required to
register for the draft.
The questionnaire is a 16-page pam
phlet, prepared for the purpose of letting
the men. who are drafted, tell what
part of the service they are most fitted
for. It requires that, they tell all about
their occupations in civil life, and the
work they liked host, or were most fitted
for. All of the law professors have
volunteered their services to the men,
in filling out these blanks, as a safo
I guard against any possible mistake.

\ Blaze Confined to Rear of Store—When Mr. Laraway received word that the store
was on fire, he exceeded the speed limit, and upon reaching the store, ordered thtat the
front door be kept locked, thereby confining the fire to the rear of the store. The result
was the principal damage done by the flames was to the clock room, work rooms and
building, thanks to the heroic efforts of the fire laddies.
I At no time did the fire or water reach the main salesrooms or vaults, which accounts
for the little damage done to the main stock.
