TIGERS BEGIN TRAINING
BEFORE THE FALL SESSION.

REPUBLIC


Columbia, Mo-. July 16.-Although the
football season at Missouri University
does not open for several months prep
arations are making now for early prac-
tice.
One great difficulty heretofore has been
the lateness of fall practice. Although the
coach always arrives in Columbia several
weeks before the opening Of school, the
football men never arrive at that time.
The training table does not start until
after the opening Of school, and the atb-
letes do not care to come to Columbia ut
their own expense, in order to practice for
tho football team.
In order to remedy this Doctor Vasco
II. Roberts. a member OF the law depart-
ment, has been soliciting subscriptions to
a fund which will be used to defray the
expenses of early practice. The fund has
aireadyl reached 800. and the a!umnae
have not been appealed to. The sum has
been contributed by Columbia citizens.
With this fund the most promising Of
the new football material and the old
members of the team will be brought to
Columbia next month. and will spend
weeks IN practice camp before the OPEN
ing Of the season.
The campaign for material goes on and
from every part of the State come reports
from students and alumnae of promising
football men who will matricufate next
fall. If all come who are pledged to come

earnings on this race alone were close to
