university, advertises every day for
twenty-five men to appear ION the
grass" for football practice, and he
generally gets full response. He re-
ports that the second and third teams
are having good practices.

in some sober pursuit.

ladies' basket ball teams at the uni
versity. A fee of IS will be required
OF all who enjoy the use of the Y. NJ.

make either first or second varsity
teams. will receive IS back of this fee.

trying for center. Among them is
Sorensen, a last years star on the
varsity; Mason, new man, formerly
a star on the Valley City high school

team. and O'Keefe, a former star on
the st. Thomas team. are competing

large teams of the state, and the pros
poets for basket ball at the university
are good.
