All of the details of the program are not included but those persons residing in the
Eastern area will receive a full announcement of the program.

The Midwestern area meeting will be held sometime this spring, perhaps in con-
junction with the national convention of the A.A.H.P.E.R. In any event, Dr. Floyd
Eastwood, who is chairman for this meeting is working on the arrangements now and
has not announced final plans because he is awaiting certain developments in the new
Army and Navy college program. These developments, he feels, will be worthy of
consideration at the midwestern meeting.

Physical Education for College Men in Military Service

 

The plans of the Army and Navy for returning a certain number of the enlisted
reserve men to the colleges for further training are being announced gradually. It
is apparent that the full plans have not yet boen completed.

It seems most probable that physical education will be a part of the program
of these men. The college physical education faculties may be used for the conduct
of this program where those faculties are large enough for doing the job.

Physical Education and Intercollegiate Athletics

In some recent newspaper articles there have appeared statements by representa-
tives of intercollegiate athletics purporting to show that ee education people
are opposed to intercollegiate sports at this time.
