Sports Issues Order to Assist Proj? ect; Declares Athletics Es? sential to Morale of Army ?Universal athletic training for the soldiers of the American expediti jnar, forces during the period of occupation and demobilization has been prescribe.. by General Pershing and a nrogr.imm? worked out to the most minute detail has been made subject for a general older just received in this country and made public by the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council, which is charged with the responsibility for the arrangement, management and general conduct of athletic activities. Plans for official A. E. F. champion? ships in track and field events, base? ball, football, basketball, tennis, box? ing and wrestling reveal an even more comprehensive programme than frag? mentary cable dispatches have indi cated. Mention is also made of the pro? posal that there shall be a set of mili? tary Olympic games as an important part of the international triumphal ceremonies following the conclusion of peace. Simultaneously with the receipt of General Pershing's ,order the Y. M. C. A. was advised of the arrival in France of Dr. George J. Fisher, head of the "Y" physical education depart? ment. Dr. Fisher went overseas in response to a cable asking for his assistance in setting up the programme requested by General Pershing. He at once called a conference of more than one hundred of the best known "Y" athletic leaders in France arid Ger? many, and from this group one will be attached to the staff of each divi? sion and a separate unit and will be ; designated in orders as divisional (or unit) athletic director. Athletics Necessary General Pershing states in his order that he considers universal participa? tion in athletics as of prime impor- i tance in keeping up the morale of the army. An officer of the General Staff has been detailed to supervise the operation of the entire programme. Each army corps and division and such units of the S. O. S. as shall be de? termined will detail similar officers. This system will go right down through the. regiments and companies, and the | atmosphere of college athletics is to be > encouraged by the appointment of com? pany sports managers from the ranks of non-commissioned officers and pri? vates. Under the head of mass athletics and competitions, the order states: "All commanders will, as far as con? sistent with military duties, encourage in every way possible uthletic sports and competitions of all kinds, especial? ly those in which the greatest number of participants are actively engaged. "With a view to securing the entry of the entire enlisted personnel of companies or similar units, division athletic officers will arrange mass ath? letics and group competitive games in which the number of men entering, as well as the individual effort of each man in the various events in which he enters, will be taken into consideration in determining the company or unit winning the even schedule. "Programmes for games and instruc tions regarding their conduct will be' published from time to time by these ? headquarters. They will embrace such games as volley ball, indoor baseball, tugs of war, 'cross-country runs, relay, obstacle, rescue, equipment, shuttle, patato, leap frog races," etc. Programme Varied These contests are preliminary to the great A. E. F. championships, which will be conducted on an elimination basis, beginning with the company and pro? gressing through the battalion, regi? ment, brigade and division, culminating in a series of championship finals. "The athletic officers of divisions and i smaller unfts," the order continues, j "will keep careful reconls of the ath-| letic performance of the units under, them, and these shall be considered i along with their military record and t general efficiency in determining upon' the selection of units to represent, each division that may he called upon ' to participate in any international tri? umphal ceremonies that may be held upon the conclusion of peace. "The Y. M. C. A., with the approval of the commander-in-chief, has organ? ized a department of athletics and is j prepared to give every assistance in the development of general athletics and the arrangement and management of competitions between military units. : It has a large number of specially trained physical directors, with wide experience in mass play and in other [ athletic activities, now in its ranks in i France. One of these will be attached to the staff of each division and sep- j arate unit, and will be designated in orders as divisional (or unit )#athletic director, and, under the supervision of the division athletic officer, will be charged with the responsibility for the arrangement, management and general conduct, of athletic activities through the unit." Officers, non-commissioned officers and privates will be detailed for duty in connection with the operation of the athletic programme. With a view to making it possible for all to take part in athletics, commanding officers are authorized to excuse from all military training in excess of four hours a day men who take part actively in the. sports approved by the athletic officers. Princeton Basketball Five Faces Big Test This Week PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 15.?The Tiger basketball team will play its two most important games of the season next week. Tuesday evening the team will journey to Philadelphia and face the strongest team that Penn has had in years, and on Saturday the Orange and Black will meet Yale here. If Princeton can win from Penn on Penn'? floor the Tigers will undoubtedly prove themselves the class of the league, for with the prestige of winning from Penn behind them they would certainly '?-? i- pected to triumph over Yale on the horrife floor. Penn has already beaten Yale at. Penn, ' but lost to the Elis at New Haven; Princeton has won two games from Co? lumbia, but. as yet has faced neither i Penn nor Yale. Victories over both her i old rivals would probably mean the championship, while a victory over either one or them would furnish all the indications for a three-cornered tie. On comparative scores Yale has an edge on th? Tiger?, aincc the Blui beat. Columbia by 1 i> points in the Columbia gymnaaium, while Princeton was only able to run up a five-point advantage over Oe'- tarne team. The Perm-Princeton gamp should be ? ? and most bitterly contested of ti?<- year. Both Perm and Princeton have won the reputation of bei?'- fight? ing "second-half" teams. Twice Perm ? ,-r:<: from behind and won out in ond p'-rjod, eg?*in?t Yale, and this la ? '<<k against Delaware, Princeton hnn shown evidences in her fiv* victories thus far of v/?ll-balanccd nod finish^ team-play. In both games ??C'e-irtbl Kutjjcr? the 'J. lgc-r live hut; come from behind and nosed out its oppo? nents in the last half. Last Friday nipht the Tigers won out from the New Brunswick quintet by a final spurt m an extra-period gumc. Both crucial games ?should resolve into close guarding, hurd fought contest?. From present indications the champion? ship live will have to be one that has the best team-work and the best foul ahooter. Much will depend upon Opie, the star Tiger forward, and his work from the fifteen-foot line. Sweeney, of Perm, is a remarkably steady free-throw man, as is also Van ?lyck, of Yale, hut the Tiger five ap? parently has a slight edge in the matter of team-plHy and all-around individual ability. From prexcnt indications Princeton will face Penn next Tuesday with the strongest line-up that has been used this season. Trimble, lu?t year's all collegiate forward, will be at his old place, while Opje, the star of the Rut? gers and Columbia game?, will hold down tho other forward position. Cap? tain Gray, whose floorwork and general ?hip have been leading factors in'the victories so far thin, season, will be. at centre. Gray, who last season was stationed at u guard post, has developed into one of the strongest Tiger pivot men in several years. He lia? outplayed both Robeson, of Rutgers, and Johnson, of Columbia, the two best centres that have fnerd him bo fur this year, and should make the going very hard for Captain Davis, of ?-Vnn.

Buster Clark was again an : outsider. He saved lengths at the turn, i running close to the rail. 'i he 1'reece family was again to the fore, Godfrey riding James to victory in the fifth and Quentin fattened his percentage by bringing E. (i.

A. will superviso in its own pool the 50-yard I free style and 200-yard breast stroke; events; on Friday the 100-yard . ??i to take place under the direction of : the Pittsburgh A. A. Perry McGillivray, of the Great! Lakes X. T. S., who won the two fre.r style titles last year, will be on hand to defend them, and appears to have no very dangerous rival at the longer distance, but in the 50-yard dash he is slated to face his own teammate, Clark Leach, and Kenneth Huzzagh and 1/ Topp,, of the Chicago A. A., three op? ponents likely to drive him hard, for ! they have recently done -1 -1-5 seconds, ! the best timo made in the national event m 191S. Michael McDermott, of the Illinois ! A. C, stands favorite for the breast stroke contest, yet there is no douDt that he will have to show his best form in order to win, for there will start against him, among others, E. N. : Chapman and Herbert Taylor, ihc Cherry Circle stars, who have been travelling close to record ligures. Miss Annette Heibert, of Milwaukee, : sprang a surprise last week in the Illinois A. C. pool by defeating m a j 100-yard breast stroke swim Miss Dorothy O'Brien, champion of Chicago at this style of natation. The time : was I minute 36 1-5 seconds, which m- i dicates that the new girl st..r may he bidding for national laurels before l'-ng. Lieutenant Norman Ross, of Rock? well Field, world's recordist in swim? ming, has been reported about to join athletic clubs in .several cities, but he writes that until he leaves the service hi intends to represent the U. >S. Avi? ation Corps in competition. The Detroit A. C. will stage on Satur? day a good shi re of the Central A. A. J. swimming championships, and it will not be surprising to see some records go by the board, for among the en? trants are Bud Wallen, Perry McGilliv? ray, Michael M?Dermott and other potential iconoclast:-. The announcement that a water pentathlon for men is to be run off this season in the Winter Pool at Brighton Peach has created country-wide inter? est. The committee in charge is re? ceiving itiQuiries and suggestions from all sides, ami it looks an if the new fixture will prove one of the most pop? ular and successful of the year. The New York Women's IS. A. has se? cured sanction for the women's na-] tional championship in plunging for : (listan?'?', and will hold the event In the pool of the People's Palace, in Jer? sey City. The date has yet to be set. Remarkably good performances feat? ured a recent water ?carnival at the Illinois A. C, of Chicago, in which sailor boys from the Great Lakes took all the first places. The winners and times were as follows: Fifty yards, 0:244-5, and 100 yards, 0:50 1-5, Clark Leach; 220 yards, 2:34 1-5, Davy Jones; 440 yards, 5:30, William Wallen, and 100 yards, backstroke, 1:00 4-5, Perry McGi?jvray. Vale has developed a sprint swim? mer of exceptional promise in June Binney, of Sound Beach, Conn., the lad who lowered the 50-yard collegiate rec? ord to 25 seconds a couple of weeks ago, and has since repeated this time in competition. He knew very little about scientific swimming when he en? tered college, yet lie was lately cred? ited with doing the half century at practice in 23 4-5 seconds, and his re? markable improvement predicates a very brilliant future for him. The newly formed team of the Mil? waukee A. C. made its competitive d?but a few days ago in a dual meet with Northwestern University, and gave the collegians a most unwelcome surprise by defeating them, 48 to 29. Max Mott, one of Chicago's leading backstroke swimmers, has taken up residence in this city and will soon be wearing the Mercury Foot. In an exhibition plunge last week Fred Schwedt, of Detroit, glided 82 feet in the regulation limit time of sixty seconds, beating the national record of SO feet, but the new mark cannot be bracketed, for the A.
