Representative Tavenner Of Illinois is
now working on his investigation reso-

increased appropriations for the two

STUDENT BODY IS
STILL FOR SPORT
Meeting Held ut Augustana in Refer
ence to Restoration of Football
as College Game,

Augustana students are still on the
trail of football. The committee ap-
pointed some time ago to investigate
the sentiment Of the student body in
reference 10 the restoration of the
gridiron sport at the local college had
a meeting last night and plans were
laid for an organized campaign for
football. The first thing scheduled by
the committee is the presentation OF
the matter formally before the stu
dents and see-if they desire to present
a petition TO the Augustana synod
when it convenes at Galesburg in the
spring,
Everything points fayorably to such
a petition. The proximity of Gales
burg to the college so that local en-
thusiasts may be present at the session
the plans aud preparations for the new
gymnasium to be ready for use next
fall. the fact that Bethany college OF
Lindsborg, Kans., g conference school
played football the past season, all
seem to indicate that the petition would
receive the assent of the representa-
tives at the synod.
The committee. of which L, E. Jones
is chairman, plans to make q canvass
Of the colleges in the synod, Gustavus
Adolphus, ST. Peter, Mimi, Bethany
Lindsborg, Kans,. and upsala, Kenil-
worth, N. J., and ascertain the senti
ment Of the other schools. As soon 81
these things have been done, prepare
