I see, about one-half of the class." MathTeacher Coast Conference Queries Spring Sports Curtailment In answer to a coast conference questionnaire regarding cur tailment of spring sports, the Oregon athletic board voted Mon day night for continuation of baseball and track, and elimina tion of tennis and golf. The Oregon vote will be sent to coast conference officials as will ballots from other schools. Outcome of this vote will determine the fate of the spring sports program. Curtailment Possible Final conference vote may re sult in greater curtailment, or it may result in no curtailment in the athletic program. The Oregon ballot is but one part of confer ence action, which involves each coast school. The Oregon board voted cur tailment in golf and tennis be cause these are minor sports, and because they play less part in the war physical fitness program. War Difficulties The conference questionnaire was sent out to determine advisa bility of continuing spring sports in the light of transportation shortages and difficulties of the war program. The board approved a full win ter term budget for swimming. PE Program It takes a physique To weather Hell Wique. —J.W.S.
