Princeton Might Eliminate Teams

Decreased enrollment--resulting from a possible world emergency--may eliminate a number of Princeton teams next year, R. Kenneth Fairman, Director of Athletics at Old Nassau, remarked in an interview early this week.

Fairman also indicated that many economies may have to be made in the next year. The Eastern Intercollegiate Soccer League has already been dissolved, and Princeton will play only teams from New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania--with the exceptions of Harvard and Yale--next fall in order to save $1500.

Foster Athletics

Nevertheless, Fairman, speaking for the Princeton administration, believes athletics should be fostered during any emergency and not dropped as they were at the beginning of World War II. As far as cutbacks go, most of them are still in the formative stage. Joint action will be taken at an Ivy League retrenchment meeting in the spring.
