Athletic Entertainment Arranged
Local Sporting News.

There is lively fight in progress
for possession of the Buchtel college
grounds Thanksgiving day.
DR.. R. B. Carter, of the Kirkwood
club, has a lease for the grounds,
given him by Secretary Olin of the
college. He made an offer for that
date, it was accepted and the money
paid.
Since then the college boys have
organized an eleven. They have
closed date with Mt. Union for a
game Thanksgiving day. They
claim that the endowment for the
purchase of the property was given
with the understanding that 1t was
for the use of the students, and that
the college authorities had no right
to lease it to outsiders until it was
known that they did not want it.
The Elks and Kirkwoods have the
lease, however, and intend to hold
Mr.. Olin to his contract.
Games Abandoned
