The twisted wand drill and the
dumb bell drill by the two junior

drills to make them perfect
The two athletes in the several
grouping of Grecian classic poses will
give the most artistic number of the
entire program, both being fine speci-
| mems of well developed physical beauty.
The finer arts in athletic training
will be we'll illustrated in three inter-

many battles it had with opposing
teams from out of town, and the peo-
