NORMAL ATHLETIC TEAMS
 DOING HARD PRACTICE

one. A splendid program of five numbers was rendered and were very much enjoyed. Miss Winterfeld, the new critic, gave short criticism, but she seemed to think the work of the Society was progressing very nicely. Much important business was tram sacted. Mir. Brandt resigned his posi- ton as football captain of the Lite ratis, because of the lack of time to | practice, and so 9 new captain was elected. The Literati boys are con- fident that they can beat the Adelph- ian boys, and training on secret | signals and plays will soon begin. A challenge was framed and sent to the Adelphian society. The good work these two societies are doing cannot be over-estimated, and the spirit and enthusiasm they arouse is amazing.
 MT. T. H. Brandt, graduate of the class of '16, and who is taking post graduate course, has accepted posi- ton with the A. L. & T. Co. as al stenographer.
 Mir. Carlton Prather and Milford Hamblin, two of the best football players of last years team, have been confined to their rooms for couple of days because of strained ribs, these injuries being inflicted by the new football men. This speaks well for the Normal team, and means that a hard tackling bunch are being trained. MT. Prather and MT. Hamblin are now able to be about, and will soon report for practice again.
 Since the days are growing so short, the students do not roam the campus after dinner, but retire to one of the dormitories to dance. These little gatherings help to make the students a more friendly family, and the re- creation obtained from dancing is beneficial to any one, no matter how studious.
 The commercial department will soon have stenotype. It will be giv- en trial with view toward install ing a course in stenotype in the Nor nal school
 Mrs. John Adams and Mrs. Earl Rosenberry, former members of the Normal school faculty, were voted as honorary members of the Literati society on Wednesday 18th.
 l A meeting of the N. A. N. S. debat- ing club was held on Wednesday 18th. The question for discussion was "Re-
 solved: That the United States should buy the Danish Islands in the West
 Indies group" Mr. Burk White won
 the decision for the negative over
 Miss Dorothy Eidson for the affirm
 ative. The society is doing very good work and the development of this
 available material means very
 strong team to oppose Tempe Nor
 nal in the spring of the year. Then , the society contains members from
 both Literary societies which means
 much stronger opposition to each
 other than was had last year.
 Mir. Hyde, who has planned num- Der of good excursions for the stud , ents of the Normal scool, announces that all trips will be posponed until the weather settles.
 r Coach Honn has 40 girls on the
 basketball courts every evening. The girls are very enthusiastic in their , work, and the five girls that make the , first team are certainly going to earn , their places. For the last five years the Normal school girls have been the champions of the state, and a much
 faster and better team is expected , this season.
 Mir. Leo Mulligan, has returned , again to Normal school. He attended , the school last year, but went to Tem-
 pc Normal, and stayed one day.
 Evidently he likes the Northern Ari-
 zona Normal school the best, for yoJ , may seeShis smiling face among the
 other happy students.
 I The first real game of the football , season was held on Thursday 14th or , the Normal gridiron. The opposing . teams were made up from the Nor r nal squad, and a very interesting , game was had. Capt. Beaton chose . one side and Capt. Brandt, the other e The game had been postponed cou- r pie of times because of bad weather I and so much antagonism was aroused s The score ended 1912, favor of Capt
 Beaton. Most of the men were new r players and the practice was good fol r them. Capt. Brandt, Hamblin, anc d Prather, men of last years team t were out of the game for various i | roocopo Nbo pavt uroyoa will ba th.
