GOOD FUND ON A
Purdue Athletic Association Balances
Captafncies.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 3.-The captain
Of the football team will be elected within
two weeks. Captain Miller does not desire
reelection, saying the honor should be
passed around. This leaves Davidson and
Leslie as the leading candidates. Davidson
will graduate this year, but as he has one
more year to play probably will return If
awarded the captaincy. He is considered
the leading candidate.
The Athletic Association met last night
and elected the following officers: Presi-
dent. Grant 'O4; vice president, Minch 'O4;
secretary, Herrick '04; athletic editor Ex-
ponent. Cappes 'Oi; athletic director at large
William Jones. The report of Treasurer
Olsen, OF the association, was read and
showed for the year total receipts $4,567.97
and total expenditures, $S,167.17, showing a
balance amounting to $1,4OO.S0. The pros
poets are the Association will be free from
debt this year for the first time in its his
tory. Football "P's' will be awarded at
the football banquet TO be held in the
gymnasium next Thursday.
a large portion of the stock from the
Purdue farm has been sent to Chicago,
where it will be entered in the live stock
show which begins next Monday.
The movement started last week for the
various classes to contribute a fund to
build an athletic home for the Purdue
teams is growing rapidly. Two of the
classes have already signifed their will
ingness and the rest have not considered
the question as yet. 1t is believed the prof.
ect Will go through.
The captaincy of the baseball team is
still in doubt and it is not likely TO be set
tied until after the football captaincy. Les
lie is considered for both places and is
believed to prefer the latter.
