interests will be kept in mind, and the new
manager for each department has already
begun arranging a schedule for next sea-
son. There are a number of new candi-
dates for the baseball and track teams, and
just what they can do will be determined
by preliminary work in the gymnasium.
The prospects for a strong track team are
especially good. Several of last years team

TO train. Nearly all the football team will
be back next year.
