wage system wiz pass away. In
its stead, believe. there win come
system which win be composed of the
profit sharing and the cooperation

the struggle of humanity for a higher
standard of life. The employer must
consider his employee. as well as the

These words were contained i'm an ad-

Continuing, Colonel Wright said.
Capital charges to the consumer the

and tackling the men dropped TO their
across Stuart Field. The novel sight was
amusing TO the onlookers but Coach Cults
believes it is a splendid exercise for devel-
oping defensive strength and teaching the
linesmen to play low.
Hotter. who played on the Oberlin var
sity team two years ago and was in conse-
quence ineligible TO play at Purdue last
year, showed splendid punting form yester-
day. He booted the ball from fifty to sixty
yards with ease and Coach Cults regards
him as a find.
Cults had the varsity lineup. while some
of the scrubs attempted 10 break through
and block Holter's punts. The varsity
line held well.

will be raised within a few days. The men

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Sept. u--Although
the football practice is not scheduled to be-
gin until next Monday, several candi-
dates are already on the ground and a
squad of eight or ten men took light prac-
tice under Coach Horne this afternoon. 1t
is expected that at least twenty men will
be here by next Tuesday.
There have been som rumors to the con-
trary, yet there is no doubt about the re-
turn of Captain Clevenger. He sends word
TO Director Horne to-day that he will be on
hand Monday with the rest of the candi-
dates and that he had been in light train
ing all summer and is in good condition for
the seasons work.
There will be a hot contest for positions
behind the line, as there is an unusually
large number Of fast men coming I'm with
this years class. The greatest need seems
to be for a punter, and a couple of good
heavy men for the tackle positions. Di-
rector Horne hopes to have a much heavier
line than last season. and the entering class
who nave the right kind of fighting spirit.
AS this years rules make Ii possible for
the quarter back to run with the ball. il is
possible that Captain Clevenger may be
changed TO this position. especially if a fast
and heavy man can be found TO take his
place at half.
The freshmen team will nave a special
coach this year in the person of ex-Captain
