The football boys have lined III
for a few practice scrimmages. A
practice game was held last week and
proved very interesting for both spec
tators and players, especially the new
players. A report got out that Las

match with some local team.
The girls of the college met las

oring a Young Woman's Christian as

present boys organization, and Others
an Independent body with a constitu
ton and bylaws of it's own. Othel
meetings will be held to thorough!
talk over the matter, and whatever the
nature of the organization it will b'
decidedly beneficial in its effects.
