WAR TO END TRACK SCHEDULE

GRADUATE COMMITTEE DECIDED TO ENCOURAGE INFORMAL COMPETITION.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Graduate Advisory Track Committee voted last night to cancel the track schedule immediately upon the declaration of war. But although all formal meets with other colleges will be abandoned as soon as war is declared, informal and intramural competitions will be encouraged so long as such meets will not interfere with military preparation. This means that the University will not, in case of war, take part in the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival scheduled for the latter part of this month, and that there will be no dual meets with Cornell or Yale.

Coach "Pooch" Donovan and Coach Morrill will continue to train the track squad regardless of the international situation. At present it is planned to hold interclass, intercompany and even informal meets with neighboring institutions, if the intercollegiate schedule is abandoned. In the meantime, while waiting for the nation to act, track work will continue as usual.
