Mr. Curtis, and Mr.. Ray On one side, and

tained.

cashier, knowing or surmislng what l was
about to do with the money without my
knowledge placed in the sack gold coins
of a late issue. quantity of which had
Just been received. He also placed
large number Of marked coins in the bag.
l did not know this at that time but am
now glad of it. 1t may result in the de-
lection of the thieves. Along this line
may say the officers have wired descrip-
tion of this marked money all over the
country, and also have wired the date of
the other gold placed in the sack. Since
this is all new and of recent issue am in
hopes of some good coming of 1t.

this kind be done Certainly If gang of

played in the near future Other games
would be arranged, but the interest in
the sport has taken q drop since last
year, when it was found a rather ex-
pensive undertaking to entertain the Wis
iting teams without any considerable
financial support. Wisconsin students
made number of trips to play games in
other towns last year and now these
teams are asking for return games in
Madison, which cannot be held.
The preceptress of Ladies' hall of the
State university has issued an edict
against the young ladies under her charge
playing basketball with any team of
young lady players from any other educa-
tiOnal institution, it being thought not a
proper sport for intercollegiate contests.
The girls have been doing good work at
the game and had two strong teams
which would probably have worsted any
aggregation of cO-eds that could have
been placed against them. The annual
home game will be played in March

Critic coming to Milwaukee, as he has

idea that he is worth more to outside
clubs than he is in Chicago.
The athletic department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin has been an institu-
ton of remarkable growth and increasing
Importance and interest in the student
life. Only a few years ago athletic sports
were run in desultOry sort of a way by
a half-doZen different managers of as
many different varieties of sports. often
out of harmony and seldom out of debt,
and almost always dependent upon chart
table subscriptions from among the stu
dents and others who might show gen
erOus interest. All that is changed now
and placed under one management. which
has taken in enough money in one year
to pay off debts four and five years old.
and has placed the athletics Of the insti-
tuition on firm financial footing for sew
eral years to come. All of the old trou-
bles between the department managers
have been reduced so they are now
thrown on one mans shoulders. The
amount of business which is done by the
Athletic association during the year
through its manager. John Fisher. is evil
denced by the fact that now it has be-
come necessary to open a complete set of
books, inaugurating new system for the
business end of college athleticism.
