III Base Bali and Foot Hail II i TerS
n. EncOuraging.

The college year which closes to-
day has witnessed decided increase
of interest In athletics. The success
Of our foot ball team last fall was
more than could he expected from
our limited amount of experience.
The victories of our base ball team
have been ably won and more than
that the team has been conducted In
manly manner and .roWdyism"
and all rough and boisterons con-
duct has not been tolerated.
In regard to the success of the
team much credit is due To the en-
thusiasm and earnest efforts Of onr
gentlemanly and respected Captain,
Bruce F. Sterling. The manager
feels grateful TO Mr.. H. B. Mcclure,
j. II. Orr and many other students.
Tbe-season opened with little or
no equipment available for our team.
The warm DAYS brought ont an
abundance Of eager boys clamorons
for suits and equipments for prac-
tiee. II became necessary TO risk
a little financial faith in order to fit
our team in q condition and meet
teams from other institutions. This
has been done but the team ii finan-
ciaily involved and it becomes nee
essary to have special appropria-
tion from the Board Or Regents III
order to meet this obligation.
The Board has been petitioned to
this effect and we hope for some en-.
enlargement from them. We wish
70 express our thanks to Hon. s. b.
Elkins for his support and extend 10,
him the sincere appreciation Of our
student body.
Unless We receive help il will Le
necessary TO sell orr equipments and
next year will find the team ii the
condition Of this year. The institution
can certainly afford to support her
athletic side Of life. The encourage
rnept received at the present time
will do much 70 plate the athletic
life upon i sure foundation. II this
years success both from stand

argument the team shonld be given

cool reception as is generally accord
