Colonel Pierce to. Make Appeal
for Continuation of All Ath
letics Dunng Period of War.
-, By Jack Veioek
New Tork, Dec. 28. (I. N. S.) War
time athletics was the general discission
taken up here today by the National Col
legiate Athletic association in its twelfth
- annual session.
- Representatives from nearly 200 col
leges, universities and college conferences
frcra all parts of the country are here,
and the ' trend of sentiment is said to
favor a revival of all college sports for
1S18, on a larger scale than ever Before.
' That intercollegiate track and . field
meets, football, baseball and all other
. college sports are to be resumed is the
, general belief. It is said that the col
leges which foster rowing are prepared
. to revive the latter classics, which have
: created nation-wide interest in the past
and sentiment is strong enough in this
- direction that the Poughkeepsle regatta
wil! be held next June.
v Colonel Palmer E. Pierce, president
. ot the association, was prepared to de
liver a stirring appeal to the colleges at
today's meeting. Colonel Pierce, it is
'believed will speak with government
' authority in urging a continuation ofj
all collegiate sports. Many others" prom
'. lnent in college athletics are to impress
the importance of college sports on the
-. delegates and among questions . to be
, discussed are :
: "What more can the college do to
; help win the war?" and "Reconstruction
of athletics after the war."
At a meeting of the graduate mem
- bers and the athletic research society
. last night. Dr. Dudley A. Sargent of
Harvard university urged the need of
"personal contact" sports ; sports which
develop a. fighting instinct and accen-
tuate fighting spirit. Dr. Sargent stated
that at Harvard and Tale the trend of
- sentiment was "athletics for all," in the
future. He deplored the fact that Amer
ican colleges have catered to highly
"specialised athletes in the past and
points out. that they have been on the
wrong track for at least 2a years.
- "Get everybody into the game should
be slogan, of every college." he said.

ing game of the Pacific coast profes
sional ice hockey season.
Clem Laughlin may get in the game

tice last night Laughlin showed that he
was a little short and It will take sev
era! more days before he, gets his full
strength and .speed.
Muldoon does not know yet whether
Mickey Ion or George Irvin will referee
the match. He wired for Ion, but does
not know whether Mickey received the
message in time to arrange to coma to

referee In professional hockey.
Muldoon announced that Portland

Vancouver here and five in the British
Columbia metropolis. Five games will

Chicago, Dec 18. (I, N. &) Jess
Wlllard U unwilling to believe that
the Red Cross will not accept . his
offer to risk ,hls title in 4 bout for
the benefit of that organisation. .
Jess declares the Red Cross haa
accepted money from him many
times that was earned in boxing, and
he doesn't believe the heads of that
organisation will refuse, but if the
Red Cross as Indicated by reports,
does turn htm down, then any other
war charity, the tobacco fund, the
athletic f und or any other can be
the beneficiary of Jess' ring activities.
Furthermore. Wlllard declares he
is willing to begin training at any
time for such a bout, but Indicated
he preferred an open air contest
along about Decoration day. Any
heavyweight that wants to mix with
him. Jess said, is urged to step for
ward. Wlllar4 also denied that he would
not rUk his title la a boat for
charity. "If any man knocks me
out." said Wlllard. "he will be the
neavyweight champion of the world
and I win be the first to congrat
ulate him."
Many local boxing fans are wonder
ing why the promoters are passing up
Frankie Tucker, who has been beating
the other boys with consistency. Tucker
is one of the consistent battlers who
have arrived in these parte lately. He
haa been beaten only by Eddie Cam pi
and has draws with George Ingle and
Muff Bronaon and decisions over Billy
Williams and Harry Anderson, the Ca
nadian lightweight champion.
Ingle la the raw boned Seattle scrap
per who finds the four and six round
game a little too short to show his true
worth, but, who can take the fight out
of most of them. Tucker, however, is go
ing to meet Ingle on New Tear's day
in Seattle. He Is not afraid of the big
fellows and is entitled to more consid
eration. Tbe fans would like to him
in a main event with Alex Trambitas.
It is said that he had Muff Bronson
beaten at Seattle and It. was only Joe
Flanlgan's skill as a second that got
Muff a draw.
Frankie Is still sticking around Port
land waiting to take on any of the
llghtwelghta. He particularly likee
Alex Trambitas and asserts that he
