Wesleyan Board To Talk Football In War Time
Buckhannon May 8 AP The West Virginia Wesleyan college board of trustees will meet May 16 to decide on abandoning football for the war duration. H Roy Waugh said sentiment favors dropping the sport due to many men in the armed forces and waning interest. No 1942 game contracts have been approved. Basketball and other sports remain active. The faculty has approved abandonment, and a successor to athletic director C B Debe Ross will not be named. Wesleyan would be the third state college to drop football after Salem and Davis Elkins.
