A special meeting of the athletic as- sociatlon of the high school was held in room 10 at the close of school yestel- day. It was called for the purpose ol electing a football delegate to the an- nnal meeting of the c. l. F. $. A. anu t manager for the school eleven, ooth or the positions having been left vacant py the resignation of those formerly elect ed. The meeting was called to ofoer by President Hackett.
 Preliminary to the business or the meeting Principal Beede was elected honorary president of the association Ill place of former Principal Scudder. life balloting for delegate resulted ln the election of Robert R. Chamberlain lsoo to the position. Albert Price l900 was elected business manager.
 An announcement which caused much n,easure was the offer by several prom inent alumni of the school or cup u be competed for by class eleVens, II spch could be formed. The assoc1atlon voted to accept the offer and passed vote of thanks to those making It. Glass elevens will now be formed al once and in the rivalry which IS pouhu +o ensue, the object of the donors or the cup in making the offer WILL De Iul- filled. as their main idea III so dolifS was to establishN a system Wnerepy good material for a school footpaH team would be turned out each year. Should the scheme prove successful thls wear the offer is likely to be repeated another year.
 At the close of the meeting, which was nuite an enthusiastic one, Presl- dent Hackett made the first formal an nouncement of Principal Beede's att1- tude in regard to athletics This has been the source of much speculatloh, as since taking charge of the school MT. Beede has overlooked thls part o1 the school life entirely, and judged the pupil only by his work in class. when asked for an opinion upon the sup1ect' he has rather avoided a reply, and py his manner given the impression that athletics had but little place in his thoughts.

Continuing, MT. Hackett said that the work had already been begun, although as yet in primitive state. He added that those who made the teams from now on none but those who stood well in their studies would be all lowed to try
 This is probably the exact position taken by Principal Beede in the mat ter. He has thus far shown no interest in the football team; but that body has been steadily practicing, and what is something unusual, the players have been supplied with a full equipment for playing. Now and then candidates have been notified to discontinue prae- tice until they were better in their studies.
 The plan has been a success; and has proved the most satisfactory ot the many tried by former principals. The discipline of the school is perfect; and fhe year will undoubtedly prove the most fruitful in the general results ac- connlished of any in the history of the
