warming in the association rooms
can be made a feature of Christmas
week. Special attention will be del
voted to the reading and game rooms
in order to make them attractive and
cosy as possible. The gym as plan
ned will perhaps not be on SO largel
a scale as might be desired, but never
theless will be roomy enough for
plenty of invigorating exercise. The
athletic department has arranged
with DR.. Derthick of the Auditorium
to have the use of that building one
evening in each week for indoor and
basketball practice. All the exhi-
bition games will be played there as
the floor space and seating capacity
of the building make it especially
adaptable for such purposes. Many
Of the members took advantage of
the first open practice night last
Wednesday evening and put in some
hard ticks, preparing for the athletic
carnival scheduled for Friday even
ing December 18th. On that date
the married and unmarried men Of
the the association will contest for
supremacy as announced elsewhere
in these columns. Hereafter the au-
ditorium will be open every Wednes-
day evening to Y. M. G. A. members
desiring to practice basket ball or in
door baseball. DR.. Minty, chairman
OF the athletic committee a y the
only restriction in connection with
exercising at the Auditorium are that
the participants must be association
men and that in order to protect the
floor properly, tennis shoes should
be worn.
The membership contest as noted
elsewhere has been the means of Sc
curing nearly a hundred new names
for the association. DR.. LeMar's Hus-
tiers have gained quite a lead on
John Iall's squad, who expert 70
catch up before the contest closes
and escape footing the bills for the
banquet, slated to take place Dec.
10Th.
Correspondence il being carried On
with regard to obtaining a general
secretary for the organization. If pos
sible man from the Chicago Central
association will be secured in time
to take charge of affairs, when the
rooms are ready for occupancy 'tne
latter end of the present month.
The finance committee has collec-
ted a considerable sum Of money, but
a large number of membership fees
remain unpaid in spite of Prof. Hum
bert's valiant e%ndeavors to get around
and see every body. Any so desiring
can hand their dues to either Prof.
, Humbert or James r. Sharp who will

on will be exchanged for regular
