come in the new building which Il expects
to move into next September. The first
athletic event OF this season will be on
Friday october q. when an honor roll
contest will be held. This honor roll con-
ssts OF twenty events with FIRST, second
and third rank In each event The rank
is indicated by a fixed record. The con-
testant must make third rank In at least
seven events before his name is enrolled,
thus stimulating all round athletic work
In the last two years only eleven men
have succeeded in having their names en-
rolled. They are II. @. Counsman, r. G.
Patterson, r. Z. Cornwell, c. Il. Patterson,
II. @. Wallace, r. d. Wilson, B. M. Cher
rington, c. II. Hamilton, T. r. Moore, e.
A. Cooper and d. r. Powell The highest
record in points is held by G. II. Hamilton.
Three Of these contests will be held this
season and indications are that from seven
to ten more men will be successful. An
open indoor meet will be held the last
week In January, while group contests will
occur monthly. Perhaps the most interest
ing events to the general public will be
the graded gymnastic contests, which will
be held in November or February. Here

ness men, ana another tournament will be
held in singles and doubles, beginning No
vember l. Members Of the fencing class
are enthusiastic and an exhibition by the
class, under the direction of the instruc-
tor, Prof. T. E. MINISTER, will be fea-
ture OF the Monday "open night" very
soon. Wrestling has ben popular with
the men during the last year, many Of
them becoming quite proficient under the
instruction Of Mr.. B. E. Dame. Indoor
base ball matches between various class
teams will be a new feature this season.
The popular monthly open night" in the
gymnasium will be held on the third Mon
day Of each month.
When Il comes TO basket ball the Omaha
Young Mems Christian association has al
ways been among the leaders. Last year
It had an enviable record, winning nine
games out Of eleven played against some
of the strongest teams in the country. The
basket ball season does not begin In earnest
until after Thanksgiving, but most Of the
men are already at work. Four Of last sea-
sen at center, G. Willard at guard, ]. Clark
at forward. Harris, substitute, who did ex-
cellent work in two of the games last sea-
son. will undoubtedly be placed at guard.
l.. Wilson, center for the Crescents; Dur
kee, substitute on the University of, Ne
braska team last season, and two or three
others are mentioned as candidates.
While no definite schedule of games has
yet been arranged the basket ball en-
thusiasts may look for some interesting
games soon after the foot ball season closes.

While quite few Omaha hunters Of big
game are planning to go to northern Wis
consln and Minnesota to camp on the trail
OF the deer and moose for a spell, it is
| likely that the election will keep some at
home. At least they will not be on the
ground when the season opens, but even if
they wait until after election they will still
have time to run up to the big woods coun-
try and try their skill as trailers and rifle
men. While most OF the reports from up
north have located plenty OF deer on the
Michigan hunting grounds the Duluth and
other northern Minnesota papers are print
| ing tales to the effect that big game is
plentiful in the country adjoining the iron
ranges. 1t is only few days since a street
| car on q Duluth suburban line ran into a
| group Of three bears, which refused to get
| of the track except at their own sweet
| pleasure, and the car operators and their
passengers gave the bears all the time they
| wanted to get to the brush over in Michi-
gan two deer wandered through the streets
| of town in the early morning and were
] perfectly safe, as the town marshal kept
the wild visitors under his eye until they
passed into the timber again. These in
stances would seem to indicate that those
who go north this fall will find game ready
| to their hands.
