There are several slight changes and
additions to the rules, but they only
make the old ones simpler and easier
to interpret.
FOOT BALL PRACTICE.
The earnestness with which the col
lege foot ball teams are indulging in
foot ball practice has given the local
players an incentive, and the Akron
bruisers of the various teams may be
seen on the fields. near their clubs or
near their homes, practicing signals
and plays and getting ready for the
games of the season.
Now that the North Ends are sure
of home in the Walsh block, all
speed will be used to at up the new
quarters and make them a home for
the club and for the athletic teams
that the club would like to place in
the field this fall. AS great deal of
the practice Of the local teams Is made
indoors the acquisition of the quar-
ters in the Walsh block is very well
come to the members of the North
End club.
BUCHTEL ATHLETICS.
1t appears that there is sentiment
among the followers of the athletic
affairs of Buchtel college, that ath-
letics are dead at that place. Such
Is not the case, however. Although
team I'm the field this fall there will
be plenty OF such athletics as are
necessary to health and certain
amount Of rivalry among the students
and all are hopeful that there will be
plenty of teams when next season
arrives and that the college will be
able to back the athletes.
Buchtel has but barely lifted her
head after the severe blow dealt her
by the fire Of last year, and it is the
belief of the trustees that athletics
should be subordlnated to matters
more vital to the welfare of the col
lege. Traditions of Buchters past

T abandoned, however, and it is sure
that there will yet he teams wearing
