Some football games have been moved, and more will be, from sma.ll towns to large popu lation centers for two reasons: to ease transportation problems of fans, and to make games available to more people as a beneficial morale influence. Due to wnr demands on rail and bus services, colleges will have to abandon chnrtcred cars and buses and reduce athletic squads to fit limited space avail able on public carriers. Long trips by squads engaged in minor sports, such as golf, ten nis and fencing, will be cur tailed or eliminated. "As far as football Is con cerned, it will mean taking the games to the crowds," said A?a Bushnell of the Eastern Inter collegiate association. "Football is a vital war sport, and colleges will cooperate in handling trans portation problems arising from big games. "There will be no special football trains for fans this year and colleges want fans who will drive short distances to share rides with friends and conserve tires."
