Interest in
College Athletes,

Republican from the university says:
With the return Of warmer weathe
interest in out-of-door sports is increas.
ing and tennis and track sports are re.
ceiying their share OF attention. The
university can boast OF goodly share o
specialists, and the season should b
productive of some events Of recort
stretching quality to these athleticali,
inclined. Arrangements are now on for !
field day with the local city team on ths
22nd OF next month. The intention il
to make the day one of general open
field work, including bicycle and fool
races, work with the hammer and
shot, and pole and high and broad
jumping. Tucson boys claim mum
Der OF crack men, who will make the
contests spirited affair. The student
body has caught the spirit OF advance
ment in athletics as we'll as technics
and have adopted college sweaters con
sisting Of the regulation nine-ineh col
lege sweaters with Yale blue body and
a ten inch cordial "a" Eighteen
sweaters for the football team and
others arrived from Frisco last week
and the combination OF eolors proves te
be better than was hoped for.
The yearly examination for the first
semester occurs this week, and the
students life at present is filed with nc
exceeding weight Of joy. The faculty
are working the courses down TO good
solid standing, and they report that un-
der the increased requirements of this
more thorough course the students are
more than fulfilling their expectations
A strong and successful effort is being
made by all to make Arizona the best
mining school In the west.
The coming Friday being Arbor Day
is also set aside for university day, o'
which appropriate exercises will be held
in the main bail. with tree planting by
the different classes on the campus,
Several we'll known and excellent
speakers have been secured TO address
the assembly, and there will also be an
interesting programme indnlged in by
the students.
The grip. which is raging everywhere
has not overlooked the university. The
sick list has had q constant average oi
about ten for the iast three or four
weeks. but the rage 10 diving out now.
The president has been confined 10 his
room for the last week, too sick to attend
to the duties OF his office. Miss Fnear
professor of languages and botany. was
removed from her room in the giri's
ssormitory to the hospital, where shs
can receive the attention and care he,
condition requires.
The Philomathean society gave a de
Iightful programme to rather anal
audience last Friday evening. As ths
weather was threatening the attendance
was rather small. Nevertheless the
programme which was rendered was By
no means small. and was presented rs
follows: Parody on rne's Raven, z. D.
Drumiier; instrumental duet. Messrs,
Cassadeda and Barry; essay, Walter
Wakefield !, vocal solo. Miss Leah Cole
essay, Geo. Parker; essay, Miss Ruth
Brown; speech Mr.. Rioomencranx. Ths
essays showed marks OF good honest
effort and hard work, and were CORES,
pondingly high grade. Herein lies ths
benefit and the profit of this branch d
college life.
The experiment with range grasses
conducted by the experimental depart
ment OF the university is being watched
here with great deal Of interest. DR.
Griffiths has gathered q large qaanti:,
OF range grasses and narrowed the seed
under the surface OF the soil in the
desert enclosure where plots have beer
set aside for the different varieties. 4
the grasses flourish larger tracts will bs
seeded and an attempt made to develop
large ranges of what Is now barren des
ert into cattle-supporting district. The
public will realize what an immense un
dertaking this department has launched
upon when it knows that this exDeri.
ment will probably cover period o
| two or three years, and will be pushet
and carefully tended until success o.
failure 10 realised.
