HaskelI's Athletic Programme.

Lawrence, Kan, March 24.-''Ias-
kel viii have a football team next
fall said superintendent II. B. PEARS
today. although not near as much at
tention will be paid to it nor as much
money expended upon it as in years
past. Heretofore football has taken
so prominent a place in our athletics
that other sports have been almost
neglected, while as much money has
been expended during the three
months Of football on coaching and
other necessary expenses as would be
necessary to secure an efficient attn
Ietic director for the entire year. I be-
lieve this to be the wrong policy and in
the future you will see our attention
more evenly divided between the diff
ferent sports. Even though we do
not produce championship teams I'M
der the new system. believe it will be
better for the school to have our
money and energies more evenly di-
vfded.
