Gonzaga Drops Football
Physical Fitness Program Will
Take Over at School; Change
Comes as Total Surprise
SPOKANE, Wash., April 7-flV A physical fitness program
patterned along lines suggested by the US army will replace
intercollegiate football competition at Gonzaga university for
the duration of the war.
Father Leo J. Robinson, presi
dent of the university, made the
announcement Tuesday in a state
ment which came as a complete
surprise not only, to Gonzaga sup
porters but to the athletic staff
as well.
- - Head Football Coach Puggy
Ban ton said afterwards he
"didn't have the slightest ink-ling-
such drastic action might
take place."
Shortly after the announcement
was made Athletic Director
Claude McGrath was quoted as
saying he was completely sur
prised. . The report said:
Intercollegiate competition be
comes impossible under such cir
cumstances. In its place will be
substituted a strong intramural
program with emphasis on devel
oping physical fitness of the in
dividual student. The details of
the program have not yet been
announced.
"In general the physical fit
ness program ontlined by the
, United States navy will be the
basis of the war-time athletic
policy.
The board of trustees, after
lengthy consideration, handed
down the decision today. It will
involve reorganization in the per
sonnel of the athletic department.
These will be announced in a few
days."
Tuesday afternoon the college
said Father Robinson was "not
available" to answer telephone
calls.
The decision to drop football
from the Gonzaga roster leaves

the possibility that one of ihe

area might come to Spokane ob
served that "conditions next fall"

the college would "cooperate the

Improved defensive technique against U-boat raiders off

that justify the caution with which Secretary Knox advanced
that explanation.

is serving with Lt Gen. Jonathan

Major Gard was a captain in

on Bataan peninsula, where he is
the finance officer. He was pres

This and many other intimate
glimpses of Bataan "behind the

Major Card's wife, at her home

Jesse J. Gard, which was writ

of an experience when the Japs

Normal wear and teaman long

to do so distant a naiaaioa sad
the enmalatlve fatigse of crews
would tend to produce recur
rent and downs la tho ef
fectfreaeo of the attack, - the
wave-like cycles which Knox
noted. Constantly changing Ball
ing routes for tankers and other
craft plying dangerons coast
al waters is another factor.
It is also to be recalled, how
ever, thafTthe subsidence in the
toll taken by U-boats in Ameri
can waters last week followed, the
bold and presumably effective
British commando raid March ZS
on the submarines hornets nest
at St Nazaire. Word of that oper

ders whose craft were based at
St Nazaire unquestionably would
cause them' to shorten their stay
on this side. They faced the ne
cessity of conserving fuel for a
longer homeward trip to new
bases if St Nazaire was out of
action even temporarily.
That British hit-and-run oper
ation, the most formidable commando-
raid yet staged, was ob
viously planned more to cope with
the transatlantic submarine at
tacks than with other phases of
the war in the Atlantic
. The immediate decline in
sinkings off the North Ameri
can coast seems to confirm the
British belief that St Nazaire
was the operating hub of that
deadly basin eas.
With the successful flight of
heavy nazi warcraft from the Bay
of Biscay to German or Norwe
gian ports, to the chagrin of the
British Dover patrol, an Impor
tant change in the nature of the
sea struggle off the coast of south
ern France was indicated. A
transfer of British battleships Or
heavy cruisers to other waters
must have followed.
