HAVE JUST BEGUN, + ACCORDING TO IN | Officer,- Who Goes to Haiti, /i - Says Sports Will Thrive B Under Maj. Brewster. BY H. C. BYRD. ESPITE the high praise given him because of his accomplish- | * i 4 ments as personnel officer and head of athletics in the Marine Col dt the last four rps during m& Maj. Joseph E. Fegan, who has left for Cape Hatien, Haiti, to be- ' coms commanding officer of that de- ] ent in the Garde d' Haiti, is the man to think that athletics and other activities for which the Quantico men have become famous during his tenure of office will stop or even halt in their development. Just as he was leaving Washington, 3. was asked whether or not 1 his departure would affect athletics in the Marine Corps or in any way hinder the develnpmem of foot ball, base ball and basket ball, His reply was charac- teristic and to the effect that he had done little other than get things started falrly well and that whereas he had ben able to’give only a small part of his time to development of athletics, a man was now being detailed to give full | time to that work. | “Athletics in the Marine Corps has & brilliant future and will not be af- ! fected by me leaving Washington to take up dutles in Haiti. We have things fairly well organized and started toward & successful goal. Gen. Neville is just as enthusiastic about sports as was Gen. ; Lejeune, and recognizes in sports not only fipe facts for the development of men, b t also a great aid in maintain- ) ing the high morale which the Marine i Corps always has had and always must ve. Praises His Successor. “All this thing about not being able to find a mln to fill a job when an- other leaves is just foolishness. Maj. | Brewster, who will handle athletics, is one of the finest chaps in the whole | corps and not only likes athletics, but | knows athletics as well. He was a star foot ball player himself, and I under- stand. was in a fair way to make one of the greatest of college players, had he mnot left school to enter the Marine have discussed the ‘athletic situa- tion with Maj. Brewster and he is ‘ ready to take up the reins where I hlve dropped them. And you need have no_doubt_that he will carry on just as well as T have, and probably better. Plans for the next foot ball seasor . are being worked out and basket ball and base ball will come in their order. “As plans at Quantico get nearer and nearer their completion, athletics as representative of the entire corps should improve until the Marine Corps stands out as strong as any college in the country. We want teams in foot ball, basket ball and base ball at Quantico that will be as truly repre- sentative of the Marine Corps as are the teams that wear Navy's and Army's . colors at Annapolis and West Point. Some years ago this was adopted as one of the Mu.rl.ne Corp policies, and so far has been of real value. Men in the corps from Peking to London follow the results of our foot ball games, just as the personnel of the battle- . ships stationed in Asiatic waterfs wait for results of the games Navy plays. “Gen. Neville, like Gen. Lejeure, be- lieves that no organization can reach its highest development without a soul and no organization can have a soul without that almost indefinable touch ‘which b human beings close to- gether and gives them a kindred goal toward which their aspirations may carry them. And so Gen. Neville may be @epended on to develop those things, of which athletics is perhaps most im- portant, which tend to weld the corps into spiritual as well as a material organism.” - Has Done a Fine Job. Maj. Fegan did much for athletics in the Marine Corps. It was his part to bet!n the process of organization and he-played his part well. He has left to serve the corps ard the Nation in another part of the world, and he will carry on in his new field as only one with his vision, his willingness to sub- . ordinate self for the good of the whole, and his fine personality and character, cam carry on. good wishes of many good friends go with him. is very interesting to Washingto- nians to know that the Maj. Brewster ‘who takes Maj. Fegan’s place in charge of Marine Corps athletics is none other than Dave Brewster, former Technical High School and George Washington University athlete. Maj. Brewster, or “Dave,” as he is better known to his friends here, played end on the greatest Underwear SPORTS. ‘THREE COLLEGE EVENTS - PREVENTED BY WEATHER Wet grounds caused the postpone- ment of bail games scheduled today between Georgetown University and Mount St. Mary’s and between Gal- laudet and Fort Leonard Wood.

Tech however, entered only. a limited 'l'hi.s year all the schools, including Tech, are to be represented by their strongest performers and the keenest sort of battling among Central, Tech and Eastern appears prohtble, ‘West- ern also will be represented, but is not expected to do a great deal. Eastern and Tech already have shown their wares in competition this season, but the Devitt meet will mark Cen- tral's first appearance of the campaign. Eastern’s record, perhaps, has been a bit_more é)ms(vz, but it is a fact that Hap Hardell, Tech coach, has not permitted his charges to extend them- selves so far, In the vlr[tnh indoor meet at Charlottesville, in February, Eastern was the winner, with Tech second. The Lincoln Parkers scored 30 points to 19 for the McKinley boys. Eastern recently decisively drubbed University of Maryland freshmen in a dual meet and Tech fell an - {im to Episcopal High at Alexandria. A A UCOLLEGIATE PEACE INCOMPLETE Griffith Still Thinks -Colleges -Should Have Main Say as to Olympics. By the Associated Press. EW YORK, April 17.—There are ltlll a few discords in the new found between the National Collegiate Athletic As- sociation and the Amateur Ath- letic Union.

U,” Griffith dis- avowed any intention ‘of adopting & belligerent attitude toward the union, especially when definite steps toward peace have just been taken. Grifith's contention is that since col- men !orm the bulk of American Olympic teams, college officials should be the predominating factor in the Olympic Assoclation. Daniel J. Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the A. A. U, enters the controversy lt this point with the observation that if A. A. U. officials hold most of the important positions on the Olympic committee it is not because the A. A. U, holds the edge in voting power, but be- cause the majority of the association members belleve the A. A. U. officials are the best men for the jobs. 'l'hrou‘h its district associations, the A. A, U. controls 28 votes in the Olympic Association, while the total college vote is 73, Ferris sald in support of his argument that the A. A. U. could not steam roller its candidates into the princi) positions on the Olympic committee. ORLOVICH GETS MEDAL AS SCHOLAR-ATHLETE CHAMPAIGN, I, April 17 (#).—R.
