Care of School Lots

the care that has been taken of the
different school lots, especially of the
care bestowed on the court house
grounds by Sheriff Cralle, for so much
has been done entirely through his
personal efforts. Other particular IN
stances could be named.

ATHLETICS AT AuousrAhA
Football Practice Taken Up-Aid From
Faculty.


Football practice has been taken up
in earnest at .Augustana college. and
the boys are going into the field with
the intention of making the name Of
the college stand for as much in ath-
leties as it does in purely intellectual
matters. The board. of control of this
school is in full sympathy with the
movement for higher grade of field
work. AT meeting yesterday the
football team was promised new
suits.
The boys have great deal of CON
| fidence in Paul Coldrep. the new
coach. who comes here from the Der
yer Athletic club. He was quarter
back on the Iowa City team i'm '95 AMI
90. Since then he has been for two
years coach at Washbprn college,
in Kansas. and one year at Simpson
college, Indianola, Iowa. ID. +. Lof-
gren has again been elected manager
of the team and +. Johnson has been
appointed temporary captain of the
old men. of whom Lindebland. Alon.
TorrelI. Anderson. Gest, Berggren ami
Larson remain. Several of the new
men are showing up well in practice
| with the older players. About 80
men in all are out working into shape.
\ good schedule is promised and
games have been announced with
Cornell Uowa), Monmouth. Bradley
| (Peoria), Coe college Cedar Rapids.
and the second team of the State Uni
versity of Iowa. The dates have not
been fixed in the most cases. All
games played here will take place on
the college campus. which is to be
materially improved, and will afford
an ideal place for football contests.
Next Tuesday evening there will be
a mass meeting of the students, fac
ulty and others interested in colleg"
athletics to discuss plans for a vigor-
Gus campaign of sports.
The high school boys are working
hard under the direction of Coach II.
+. Brown. about 35 of them turning
out each afternoon for the purpose OF
| competing for places on the football
| team. The candidates are being put
through the usual preliminaries To
| render their familiarity with the ball,
| to initiate those who are green in the
rudiments of the game, and to give
all the players the endurance that
counts for so much. Morrison of LAST
years team. has been chosen temper
airy captain. and the other old men
available will be Fry, Marquis, Gustaf-
son. Franck and Schroeder. The new
men will not detract from the weight
of the team, and it is believed an aver
age of 145 pounds per man is a fair
estimate of the size of the members.
In view of the greater weight of
| this seasons team, il has been
thought advisable to put seven games
on the schedule, instead of five, as
last year. On game will be played
with Moline and probably one with
Davenport. Among the other teams
that will be met are those from tn"
| high school alumni, Geneseo. Clinton,
Lyons and Quincy. The alumni team
will be met Saturday. Sept. %. and
the other dates have not been set.
Yesterday afternoon at the close of
school the High School Athletic as
sociation held n meeting and elected
the following officers for the ensuing
term:
Observation-Disclosures Graves.
Vice President-Miss Cora Van Gal
der.

of all citizens from business as well
as from an aesthetic standpoint.

held later for the purpose of plan
ming work for another season, the
program outlined for this season hav-
ing been practically carried out. The
good effects of the efforts that have
been put forth this season are in evil

number of those who took steps to
improve and beautify that which had
been unsightly in the past not being
Indicated by the number who com

Omcers Encouraged.

''The officers of the association feel
very much pleased at the interest
that has been taken in the work Il
home improvement" said Secretary
William jackson today. fhe move
ment was new, and, like all efforts of
that character, success is not assured
at once. Looking over the city, it can
not be denied that more interest was
taken in the care of lawns and
growth of flowers and vines than was
ever taken before. There are many
persons in the city who during the
season had nice lawns and flowers
who should have announced them
selves as competitors, but many hes
itated to do so, so that the assOcio-
ton could not consider them, al
though they well deserved to be con-
sidered. The citizens who did enter
the list as competitors deserve the
thanks of the community, for they
took the responsibility and openly
encouraged the movement, and they
have been rewarded in the distribu-
ton of prizes.
that a competitor could only COM
pete for one prize prevents the asso-
citation from recognizing many beau
tiful displays of flowers, shrubs and
vines and many very handsome vine
covered porches, division fences and
alley fences.
''AlI citizens who have interested
themselves well deserve the thanks Of
the community, and the association
cordially remembers what they have
done. The real reward is the appre-
citation of their fellow citizens and
the consciousness that they have
helped a good cause. At the same
time it has been labor of love. The
officers of the association would have
been glad if the means at their COM
mand had enabled them to award
more prizes, for more were deserved.
1t is to be hoped that when another
season opens there viii be more com
