Lewiston Normal.

The second semester of the Lew
iston State Normal School will oper
tomorrow, with every prospect of in
creased enrolment. During the pas
six weeks President Black has beer
receiving many inquiries which would
seem to indicate that at least thirty
or forty new studens may be expectet
during the coming term. Some Of
these students will come from points
outside of Idaho, but the majority OF
them, of course will be from Within
the State. At the present time the
enrolment i'm the Normal School prop
err is nearly three hundred, exclusive
of those who are registered i'm the
Matrons' Course in Domestic Science,
and DIT is quite likely that the total
enrolment for the yeear will be
very close to three hundred fifty.
Activity in Athletics.
In addition to the games yet to
be played by the State Normal team
in the City League, it is possible that
the boys will take trip, which will
include the Prairie towns of Culdesac,
Vollmar, and Grangeville. Coach
Chiesman is considering this trip
very seriously and if the proper guar
antees will be made by the teams of
those points mentioned, lit Dis prob
able that lit will be made. There is
also a possibility that the team may
take trip through eastern Oregon,
even going as far south as Boise.
The Boise High School is very anx-
ious to arrange a game but at the
present time nothing definite has
been decided.

The Association has a charter mem.

ship ticket admits the holder to all
games ON Normal grounds held I'M
der the auspices of the Association.
Much enthusiasm i'm the Association
has been aroused, and before the end
of the second semester there is no
doubt but that the Association men,
bership will be very close to two hun
dred members. One noticeable result
of the formation of the Athletic AsSo-
citation Is the increased attendance
at all games in which the Normal
teams participate, and the enthusiasm
and interest displayed by the mem
bers. The formation of the Athletic
Association marks a forward step In
athletics at the Normal.
