FRESHMEN PLAYERS
AWARDED NUMERALS

At the first meeting of the newly elected uni
versty athletic board of control yesterday at
the university twenty freshmen who have waited
long and patiently for official recognition of
their work on the gridiron were awarded 'O9

Knocke, Castor. Smith, Moore, Merrill, BLY,,
Frykman, Ertle, Hubbard, Mahoney, Kaiser, At

With the exception Of comforting the fresh
man emblems, little business OF Importance was
transacted by the new board at it's meeting
yesterday. The ACCESSIBILITY Of constructing q
running track in the armory for the Of the
track in their preliminary work, and OF
erecting a baseball cage for the of baseball
candidates, was discussed, but no definite decis
ion reached in regard to either project
However, 1t Is probable that the usual baseball
cage will be Installed in the ar1nory in the
future, and If running track can bt
constructed at moderate cost the board will
probably add this facility to the athletic equip
ment at the university.
At present there Is no indoor running track il

work Monday are obliged to do all their running
on the drill-hall floor. The plan provide
for track suspended from the drill-hall gallery
