said until after the opening of the college
next Monday, and all the men are given
q chance to show their flint" Butler will
rot join the University of Indianapolis this
year in turning out a university team.
Since the organization of the University of
indianapolis effort has been made to
develop a presentable team. These were
to be picked from men who had been star
players in the different colleges OF the
State. However, the effort was always
failure. The different departments were too
widely separated and the men from the city
would not come out to Irvington to practice
regularly. Hence the team was never in
condition and lacked team work. The But
Butler should have a team of her own that
could hold its own with the other teams
OF the State. Neither time nor money is
being spared in the effort to have team at
Butler that will win honor for itself and
the college.
A tackling dummy will be put up to-day
and the men will be given a thorough
course in tackling. The men are not given
much hard work to do yet. but day by day
it will be increased. Men who are expected
to be out this week are c. a. Johnson, r.
