department, the South Park board and

Park commissioners, who have direct
authority over Grant park, leaves the

the shooters may occupy and the kind
of traps to be built with Superintend-
ent ]. F. Foster. He will cooperate

ton for the. national championship

snappy signal practice lasting a half
hour.
Two teams went through the signal
drill. Captain Prichard driving one
and Oliphant the other. Beneditt, Van
Fleet and Hodgson were the backs
on the varsity while Coffin, Ford and
Boots made up the second string back
