PLAN TO RAISE FUND
TO AID ATHLETICS

In order to raise money with which
to improve Reservoir park for athletic
purposes and to aid in carrying on the
outdoor sports, students and the fac
ulty of the high school have planned a
unique entertainment. A meeting was
held yesterday afternoon, and the plan
which has been adopted was preached
by A. G. Hill, faculty manager of the
various athletic teams On some
evening in the near future the high
school will be turned into an expositiou
building, with entertainments, muse
ums. candy booths and various other
attractions and sales counters occupy
ing the different rooms. A general ad-
mission will be charged to the building
and each separate attraction will COM
mand it's price. After two hours of
street carnival a general entertain
ment will be given in the assembly
room.
The plan is one that has been at
| tended by success at various of the
large colleges where it has been tried
and is recommended by members of the
faculty who at divers times have aided
| in preparing such entertainments.
The following committee on arrange
ments was named: Principal A. j.
Burton, A. G. Hill, G.. d. Corneal and
Ellsworth Burch of the faculty and
John Kittilsen. Harry Behnaman, Ben

Season at Augustana to Open
April 10 With Hedding on
Local Grounds.
HAVE PRACTICE INDOORS
CaDtain Erickson Has Five Old Heads
as Nucleus Around Which to
Build Club.

That Augustana will have one of
the strongest baseball mines in years
is the present indication at the Luth-
eran school. For several weeks as
piring candidates have been indulging
in indoor practice at the gym under
the direction of Captain Knute Erick-
son, last years mainstay on the mi
tial sack. AS soon as the weather
will permit training will be carried
outside. Augustana's first game is
only month away, being with He'd
ding April 10 on the local diamond.
Captain Erickson has five men as
a nucleus around which to build his
team this season and in addition has
many promising recruits. Williams
behind the bat, Ryden at short and
Bengston in the box, all of whom
performed well last spring, will be
missed when the umpire hollers
play BALI April 10. For all the va
cant positions there are numerous
candidates who come with good high
/ school reps.
KELLSTROM CLEAN HITTER.
There seems to be no one who will
be able to push Captain Erickson of
! of first base. The lanky infielder was
one OF the strongest men on the team
/ last year and having had a season:
/ experience should show added i'm
provement. Kallstrom, a senior IL
college, who failed to come out las
season, will in all probability be as
signed the keystone sack. His stronJ
point is with the willow, having +;
good eye and being a clean hitter.
Ryden's position at short will nj
doubt be given to Sundberg, who he'll,
down second last season. Sundberl
is a Californian and has been tn,

eral seasons. There promises to b.

The two vets will in all probability
be seen in their old positions this
season again.
Three catchers of promise are at
present getting in condition, John
Erickson, Erick Anderson and G. G..
Anderson. Erickson caught for an
Aurora amateur team last year,
which defeated some of the good
semi-pro mines of Chicago. He is
probably one of the best finds of the
season. In addition to catching he
will also take turn in the box, be-
ing a clever twirler.. Erick Ander-
son acted as catcher of the st.
Charles team last season and was
the best batter on the team. AS stick
work was Augustana's weakest point
last year, the addition of Anderson
will aid the team materially. C. G.
Anderson Is a heady catcher and a
good batter.
TWO FOR MOUND.
In the box the Lutnerans will have
to depend upon ]. Erickson and Stem
sub pitcher last season. These two
men are steady performers and with
good team behind them ought tC
win most of their games. Willis
Bengston, last seasons mainstay il
the box, may come out for the team
this spring. In case he does the 10
cal collegians ought to make a rec
ord for themselves.

FEW SQUIBS.
The lineup of the club team was a
little different last night when the

DR.. Bickel held down the little end
Of the score sheet, while DR.. Soule took
care Of the big end.
The first two games were nip and
tuck, but in the last, the KrakeeI team
never had chance. They lost by 11S
pins.
The club team made good showing,
seeing that none of the bowlers were
accustomed to the alleys.
