PLAN REFORMS IN
COLLEGE SPORTS
Many Sweeping Changes
Expected in Athletic Pro
grams Next Year
FOLLOW THE MILITARY
By EDWIN J. POLLOCK
Nw York. Dec. 27. Reform was the
Kfjiiote of (ho thirteenth nnnunl meeting
nf tho. National ColleslatA Athtotlo
ABsoclutlon, Iield at the Hotel Astor
herd today, when representatives of 30p
colleges and universities from all parts
of the United States gathered to rtls
ciibs the reconstruction of athletics on a
posl-wnr basis.
If the Ideals of the delegates, speak
ing from tho viewpoint of the majority
of thofce who olccd their opinions, wcro
carried Into execution, , there will bo
radical and sweeping changes In the
character of sports, im conducted by
colleges. Hero are home of the points
Indorsed by the convention:
Klrst. Tho retention of Intercol
legiate competition with limited
schedules. ,
.Second. Tho abolition of training
table and other "tints" of profes
sionalism. Third. The abandonment of the
system of highly npeclalticd sport
which culls for a high-salaried coach,
who Instructs for a comparatively
sliort length of time.
Fourth. Make athletic coaches re- .
sponsible to the college for tho entire
academic year. As an example, hold
the , football coach to dally work
throughout the year.
Fifth. Develop mass athletics and
grQUp competition along the same lines
as used In military and naval camp?.
Sixth. About Intercollegiate leagues
as such and encourage Intercollegiate
athletics only as a method to develop
group loyalty and so "play down" tho
Individual.
Letters will be written to the presi
dents of the various colleges and univer
sities, throughout tho country, urging

the changes as recommended by the as
sociation. Tho association has no power
to force these changes except through
tho suggestions of tho delegates to their
respective Institutions.
Dr. Joseph K. R-jycroft, n member of
tho national commission on training
camp activities, made the suggestion
that Intercollegiate leagues be abolished
as they lead to a too highly organized
system of sports. Ho also argued that
collegiate coaches should be made mem
bers of tho faculty, and so btr respon
sible to the heads of the Institutions. He
pointed out that there was no difficulty
between the professional conch who ob
tained his salary through sources out
vide the Institution, than a professor who
lectured from a chair endowed by an
alumnus.
Dr, George I Fisher, president of the
Natlonnl Athletic Research Society, sug
gested that the colleges bo train their
students thnt they will be able to In
troduce group play to the industries into
which they enter after graduation
Captain J. L. Orinitli, the athletic of
fices at Camp Pike, paid an excellent
tribute to the college athloto when ho
said that It was Invariably truo that
the men most proficient In such forms
of military life ns bayonot work, were
college nthletes. He said that there was
no fault to find with the college athlete.

Service from Truck Doubled
in Three Months
SHE driver of Truck No.
149 1&B'9 won the first
prize in Class A by piling
up a record of 952 points
out of 1,000 in the
Packard Truck Efficiency Test.
Following the modern business
methods taught by the Packard
Freight Transportation Department,
he doubled the service of his truck,
and showed some startling economies.
This truck operates over a route of
about 33 miles, in and around a New
England town. Country is hilly.
Roads are good.
The job is a pick-up proposition
the truck starting empty. The load
is therefore a return-load.
Frequent stops. The truck has no
starter and tendency has been to let
the engine run to save trouble of
cranking.
Out to win the prize, the driver was
willing to shut off his engine and
crank up again after every stop.
Gasoline economy was increased
3& miles per gallon.
Load carried was doubled.
Transportation cost was cut Sc per
ton mile, which means a saving of
$68.59 per month or $823 per year.
These trucks represent a capital
investment of close to One Thou
sand Million Dollars.
The possible saving would pay a
dividend of 14 per cent a year on
the owner's truck investment.
Deposited as a sinking fund, it
would practically write his truck in
vestment off the books. The trans
portation principle responsible for
the saving would also increase the life
and service of his trucks.
Put to public uses, it would build
7000 miles of concrete roads at
$20,000 which means easier truck
ing, further saving in costs per ton
mile, fewer repairs, longer life to his
truck.
e
v
Industrial America employs
400,000 motor trucks.
Investigation shows that on the
average each truck can effect a saving
of at least $350 a yeara grand total
of $140,000,000 dollars a year.
It can be done.
The FreightTransportation Depart
ment of your local Packard Branch or
Packard Dealer will show you how
with your present make of trucks
and in your business.
How to get more work out of your
trucks at less cost.
How to fit the truck to the Job.
One of the greatest difficulties the
business world is laboring under today
is the fact that most trucks are bought
with little or .no expert advice as to
whether they, will fit the work or not.
Whether you are a Packard user or
not feel perfectly free to call on the
Freight Transportation Department.
Its counsel is yours for the asking
' and without charge.
Some Results of
Packard t
100 War Work
The 5000th Liberty Motor
built by the Packard Company
was shipped on November 21, a
week after its final assembly in
the Packard shops, and a week
ahead of the first anniversary of
the completion of the first Lib
erty Engine ever made from
standard tools.
It wa3 on Thanksgiving Day,
1917, that the first Liberty Motor
to come from an organized pro
duction line came from the pro
duction line of the Packard.
Wrapped in an American flag, it
was snipped the same day to the
American aircraft forces.
Between Thanksgiving and the
following March, the process of
the new war engine's develop
ment was that of the accommo
dation of tool to design and design
to tool, always necessary in the
preparation for quantity-production
of a quality motor. The
work of pioneering this develop
ment was cither given by the
government to the Packard or
assumed by the Packard for the
Government. Consequently, as
late as February 25, Packard had
produced the only Liberty En
gines in operation, and to date
Packard has built more Liberty
Motors than any other manu
facturer has made.
The great results of that de
velopment period are measurable
by the fact that the improve
ments effected raised the horse
power of the Liberty Motor from
367, at which the government
had accepted it for production,
to more than 450. Another re
sult wa3 that large scale produc
tion rapidly followed final stand
ardization of tools and design,
so that by the end of the war,
eight months later, Uncle Sam
had more than 15,000 Lihcrty
Engines.
