The enterprising members of the Cal
houn Yacht 81 ub are. working along
the right lines in securing clubhouse.
Tho the club has been in existence only
since July 8, there are already nearly
forty members, and on all, sides tho
committee soliciting memberships is
meeting with hearty response. This is
largely due to the small fees, $40 a
year, and the number: of attractions
offered. = - ~
Besides sailboat racing, there will be
launch and shell races. A canoe club
is being formed, and a tennis club and
courts arranged for next year. During
the winter iceboat, races, Il hockey
matches and skating parties will be- the
features, while all the year round meet
ings will be held, with smokers - and
informal dances at the club. =. e.?s
The park board has been approached
concerning q suitable site for the quar-
tiers of the new club and has the mat
ter under consideration. Tho the pres
ent clubhouse will only be temporary
the plans call for a, $1,100. building,
and numerous residents in that end of
town have signed a subscription list to
aid the boys in erecting a building that
will be an ornament to the lake. ,
A number of new boats are being
planned and several others will leave

ers the first taste Of the real hard
work that is to come. They always
fight hard against Minnesota and make
interesting football.
Chicago, holding the western champ
ionship thru the overthrow of Michi-
gan last season, will prove the big
game of the schedule. This game
comes within week after the Ne
braska contest, and the gophers will
probably be at their highest pitch Of
development for the maroon battle.
The week following the Minnesotans
must meet the Carlisle team and the
Saturday following that encounter the
boosters. .---'t5 r. { ,f.-4
Carlisle is coached by George Wood
ruff, who knows his football book from
cover to cover, and this game will
doubtless attract thousands to North
rop field on account, of its novelty, and
in addition being one Of the intersec-
tional games scheduled, SO far, for
1906.
Indiana is coached by the old maroon
star, Sheldon, and the hoosiers are ex-
pected to put up rafting contest.
Taken all in all, the schedule is all
that any football rooter could ask for.
It is the best of the last three years
and it is a question but that it is the
| best ever offered by the Minnesota
athletic governors. =
| ! This fall brings the first trial Of the
reformed game and it will add new
interest to the play. Minneapolis is
assured Of four good games, and five it

it is highly probable that some 10000
or so will find time to do this very
