To Me Place of Freshman Sports
An ambitious program of junior varsity athletics will be inau.'
rated by the College during the next year to fill the void caused -y
the elimination of freshman sports, athletic officials have announced.
Dr. Carl P. Schott, dean of the School of Physical Education and
Athletics, said plans were already underway to provide coaching
equipment, and schedules for at
least three sports. Others will
follow as the program gathers
momentum in 1948 and 1949.
“One purpose is. .of course, to
fill the void caused by the ab
sence of freshrtien.” Dean Schott
added, “but we also hope by this
program to increase the number
of sports in which students will
be able to cojnpete on an inter
collegiate basis,”
