TRACK SEASON
PROMISES AN
ARRAYTALENT
WASHINGTON, April 15 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Mass competition is
to be a part of the life of the colleges
as well as of the army during the
present track season. Plans already
are complete for a meet of company
against company, regiment against
regiment, and camp against camp for
the soldiers in the camps of the
United States. The National Colleg
iate association and the Western In
tercollegiate conference also will fos
ter meets among their members. In
these meets each camp or college will
hold the tests for their men, the army
marks being sent to the athletic di
. vision of the commission on training
camp activities and the college marks
to both national and division head
quarters.
The need of competitions for great
numbers of men was emphasized by
the experience of the army physical
directors. Before the meets in the
different, camps, as far as known, but
one mass meet had been held, that be
ing a contest between Drake univer
sity and the University of Nebraska
in 1914. In this about three hundred
men competed on each side. Attempts
to have other schools‘in that section
of the country failed. The idea was
later adopted by the swimming clubs
,of the west, but the army made the
plan popular and last spring the
Western Intercollegiate conference in
troduced the plan among most of its
colleges.
This year the army is standardiz
ing and broadening its work, and the
Big Ten is planning for a formal meet
in May and the National Collegiate
association is calling upon its mem
bers to hold a mass meet of all the
male members of the freshman class
es. The meet of the National Colleg
iate association is the first athletic
program of that body. It has an ac
tive and joint membership of about
130, including all the larger colleges
and universites of the United States.
It is the belief of the committee that
all but a very few of the schools will
enter eighty per cent of their male
freshman enrollment, the percentage
necssary to have thir marks counted
in the competition.
For this gigantic meet, the largest
ever attempted in the college world
four events have been selected: the
running high jump, the running broad
jump, the one hundred yard dash and
the bar vault. The scoring is within
the basis of performance within cer
tain limits, these limits being as near
as possible those of the average
young man.
The good athlete, by reaching all
of the final marks will be able to
score 12 poins for his team. The win
ning team will be the one with the
best average per man for the number
competing.
Because the men in the army will
compete in uniform and the heavy
service shoes, a different standard of
performance will be set for the men
in khaki but the events and point sys
tem will be the same. The evnts and
marks for the meet of the Big Ten
have not been announcd.
The army has been able to reduce
these competitions to a matter of an
hour or less for a company. A year
ago in one meet, 1,600 men were test
ed in the 220 yard dash and the finals
tabulated within ten minutes of time.
According to the records of the
commission on training camp activi
ties, the 27th division, while in train
ing at Camp Wadsworth, held the
largest mass athletic meet. This divi
sion, whose recent return and review
in New York was a dramatic incident
of the war, assembled 25,236 men for
the events. These men were from New
York city, where athletic have been
fostered from the first, and 21,764
made good marks against tests similar
to those set for the collegiate fresh
men. According to the experience of
this division, the mark of 13 seconds
is too fast for the one hundred yard
dash, even for the average man in
track shoes, as this division, running
of course in uniform and army shoes,
average 15 2-5 seconds for the dis
tance.
While the total number of men in j
the events this year will not reach the i
usual totals of the days of mobiliza
tion, moje college men will take part
in some form of athletics this spring
than ever before, and it is the hope
of the men who are working for bet
ter physical development, that these
meets will pave the way to the uni
versal observance of some sort of
physical exercise by the rank and file
of the college men.
