The new dispensary. situated just be-

IS by no means an imposing building.
The new gymnasium, which has been be-

session. will be beautiful structure. IL
will contain the usual apparatus lock
ers. a running track, a swimming pool
and a ballroom. IL will be situated at
the foot of Carr's HILL on the side OF
the recently-constructed campus and run

The increased attendance OF the last
| few years has rendered new dormltorles
a crying want. Only about halt the men
can obtain rooms within the University,
and many are forced to live at quite
distance, all OF which, besides being ex-
tremely inconvenient, deprives the Uni
versity life OF some of its pleasantest
features II Is to be hoped that portion

applied to this most necessary improve

main strength lies in the rush line. Early

likely to meet They both hold their
men well. but are especially strong at
breaking through. They both run well
with the ball. and rarely fail to gain.
Thomas and Catchings, as tackles. are
strong men in every respect. Catchings,
especially. IS a good tackler, and uses
his head The responsibility OF captain
detracts from Thomas play, but his man
never gets by him.
Bowden on the end is the star Of the
IA from (liQkafipk
Island, and knows all about working on
a farm and something about football,
too. He has natural bent for
tackling men low, and Spicer is
making great end rush out
Of him. Behind the line Parker,
Princeton 90, was by far the best man.
Both he and Elliott have stopped playing,
out of Difference TO the wishes Of their
parents. Parker was a model full back.
His punts were high and far and he hit
the line like a bullet when he went
through the cei.tre. He is a great loss.
Jones' who did such great work against
Sewanee. is improving greatly, and pro-
badly the best half back He runs well,
but interferes poorly, While Harper, the
other half interferes well, but runs only
fairly. Stone at fun back has played on
the Varsity fer three years and is filling
the place better this year than ever be-

Is fairly good. He has not had nearly
enough experience for so important a
position, but in time will probably make
a strong man. The substitutes are many

of a place on the team. Brown, who was
injured in the Pantops game, will not
be able to play again this year and is
quite loss.

are excellent. OF last years men, Nc

appointment of the manager, which has
not yet been made.
