be represented on the gridiron next fall.
The best proof in the world that the
Buff and Blue institution intends to be
represented by a foot ball team Is that
it is hard at work arranging a schedule.
There seems Little doubt that a foot
ball team will be put out next season.
There have been talks continually re-
garding the matter, but now there is
real work being done. The schedule Is
being arranged quietly, and other plans
are being perfected. That the Hatchetites
are making little noise about their efforts
is indicative of the fact that they In
tend to let things rest until they are sure
just where they stand.
1t has been rumored that the financial
troubles have been overcome and
method of getting around the difficulty

attractive. There is not much chance
for clever work in handling the ball
when the opposing men are covering ex-
ceptionally fast, and that was the con-

played A basket ball game at best, can
be a fine, clever exhibition Of work. but
