Although no actual scrimmage took place in the Stadium yesterday afternoon, Coach Fisher put his pupils through the stiffest and longest workout which has been held since the Penn State game. The squad turned out in full force for the first time this week, every member except Brown, who had an afternoon class, reporting at the field, and all but Pfaffman, Tierney, and Fitts turning out in football suits. Tierney and Fitts will be back in the running today or tomorrow, but it is exceedingly doubtful if Pfaffman will be available Saturday to worry Centre with his drop-kicking threat.
The work at Soldiers Field at present is in the form of concentrated preparation for the Princeton struggle rather than for the invasion of the Praying Colonels Saturday. Coach Fisher is pointing for the Tiger fracas above everything else and is looking forward to the contest with the Kentuckians more needed for the solution of the problems of peace; and
"Whereas the government of the United States, appreciating these facts, has invited the powers to meet in conference in Washington to discover means through which the reducing and limitation of armament by international agreements may be realized, and to promote through amicable discussions universal good will; and
"Whereas the college men for whom we speak have proven their devotion and loyalty in the past war, and the generation which we represent would in all probability bear the brunt of a future war.
"Therefore be it resolved that we, the representatives of forty colleges and universities in conference assembled, do hereby express to the government of the United States our unqualified approval of the course it has taken in summoning the Washington conference and our entire sympathy with the purposes of the conference, pledging our faithful support to the United States delegates in their effort to alleviate the burdens of war and preparations for war through mutual understanding and through world reduction and limitation of armaments and that we do hereby urge upon all delegates that their efforts shall not cease until some solution be found whereby the possibility of war may be minimized and whereby at least a considerable portion of the vast amount of energy and money expended by the nations for armament may be released for the development rather than the destruction of civilization and the human race; and
"Be it further resolved that it is the sense of the Intercollegiate Conference that the Washington Conference will not have attained its objective without first; a settlement of the Far Eastern question based upon principles which will make practicable the reduction of naval armaments; second, an agreement to suspend all present programmes for naval construction and to undertake no further expansion; third, an agreement to reduce substantially the present naval strength of the nations concerned; and
That a copy of the above resolution be signed by each delegate here assembled and dispatched forthwith to the President of the United States of America and to representatives of the press for publication"
