its chair OF physical education. Prof. Clev-
enger is the greatest athlete Indiana uni
versity ever put out and he excels In the
four leading lines, being a member OF the
all-western eleven for two years. He has
given athletics In the Wesleyan a great
boost and as a result the season closes
with a handsome profit. AS a result OF the
splendid showing and in recognition of tho
work done the athletic board awarded
"W's' on sweaters to eleven base bali
men, six track men and to two tennis
men. Those of the base ball team who
