Some strong material is present among the squad and prospects for a good team are bright. Among those present the following names were secured: Gunnison, Small, L a m p k e, Ashley, Holdsworth, Welch, Waite, John son, Benton, Shaw, T o w n e r, Cra mer, Case, Tanner, F. J.

If we are to have a good team, this matter must be arranged. It seems that some transfers could be made. Some candidates have classes up to five o'clock. These could be put into another division and thus give more time for work. Students and faculty should cooper ate in this matter and make amicable adjustments. College work cannot be supplanted with football, but both can exist and prosper where there is harmony and unity of pur pose. P ut It is quite important that all can didates for the team be out every evening. If you are not selected for the first game, do not become the welfare of discouraged. Changes the college above self. will be made from time to whenever some one shows form not possessed by a member of the team. N ew men should stick to it even if not selected at all. We expect to have a team next year and if a man makes the regular team the last two years of his college work he does well.
