FOOT BALL
First Practice Game of the Season
Was Played Tuesday, Sept. II,
on Institute Campus.

The first football practice Of the
year at S. L. l. l. was held Tuesday,
Sept. II, under the direction of coach
H. Lee Prather, the new Athletic Di.
rector from the University of Mis-
souri,. Owing to the heat and the
poor condition of the men only light
preliminary work was given. The
squad was a good sized one consider
ing the fact that it was the initial
practice.
Prospects for a successful season
are only fairly bright, owing to the
lack of old experienced men. Only
three of last years team have re-
ported SO far, Capt. Bercegeay, Lee
and Singleton. These are all strong
men, however, and with the new ma
terial, which is promising, and
good number of last years scrubs, at
least fairly successful team is as
sured.

MINORITY REPORT
WILL BE DELAYED
Senator'S Kenyon, lea, Jones, cIapp
and Kern to Protest Against
4 Clearing Of Senator Stephenson

Washington, D. c., Feb. 12.--The
minority report of the senate commit
tee on privileges and elections, adj
verse to Senator Isaac Stephenson Of
Wisconsin, probably will not be filed
in the senate until Senator Kenyon re-
turns to the city late in the week. This
report, signed by Senators Kenyon,
Lea, Jones, Clapp and Kern, will hold
that the senate has right to inquire
into senatorial primaries as well as the
election itself
It is claimed that the 100000 put
out by Senator Stephenson was prac-
tically all spent at the primaries and
that the real contest for the senate
seat was fought there. If corrupt prac-
tices marked the primaries, the minor
:ty report will aver that the election
itself must have been secured by cor
rupt means. The report will urge the
senate to assume jurisdiction over pri-
.maries and thus "take a stand against
the sale OF seats In the United States
senate. "It also will be held that the
enormous primary expenditures have
not been satisfactorily explained.
