came back without any prize last year, but this
year the prospects of bringing home trophy
are considerable brighter, IN fact, it locks now
as though the team would win first prize. The

There is considerable talk Of securing grounds
where outdoor exercises be pushed during
the summer. 1t would be grand thing for the
club if this could be done Not only would q
large body OF athletes be developed, to
carry the red cross In the van among the com
petitors for athletic honors. but young men
would be attracted to the club and many desir-
able mem bers would be secured. The club is an
athletic club and the athletic department should
