material in the incoming class. The
Army resumes athletic relations with
Yale next fall in a series which pro
misses interesting hard fought games
The Army played Yale several years
ago, but the series stopped because OF
the inability on the part of the sold
iers to play off their own field. Games
will now be played alternately at New
Haven and West Point.
The clipping, which Mr.. Andrews
enclosed reads as follows:
There is a great deal Of unneces-
sary alarm over the alleged prospect
of a break in athletic relations be-
tween West Point and Annapolis.
The Navy, it is rumored, has warned
the Cadets that if they do not stop
their open campaign to recruit foot
ball stars from all sections Of the
country it will call off it's annual
game. While there have been Off
cial intentions that the Navy does
not look with favor on the Army's
efforts to corral squad of varsity
luminaries, it is doubted if the Navy
will take any action on the matter.
Army men admit that West Point
has struck out boldly after football
players of first rank, and they add
that they are not aware of any regula-
tion which forbids the Navy from
going out and doing likewise Army
men incidentally remind the Navy that
it raised big howl about proselyting
last fall and that with all the stars
who we're recruited at West Point,
the Navy won again any way.

NEW PLAN PROPOSED
FOR GARBAGE DISPOSAL
William Brock Would Take Care of
Problem for Stated Monthly Fee
From Residences

A solution of the mooted garbage
disposal problem seems near at hand
in an offer made by William Brock,
which meets with the approval of
the chamber of commerce and the
big majority of private citizens. Mr..
Brock has come forward with an
offer to take the position of city
garbage man and gather the garbage
from the private residences, res
taurants and hotels thrice weekly,
for stated fee of $500 monthly
for private residences, $500 month
ly for sororties and fraternities and
$500 monthly for restaurants and
hotels. He proposes to make con
tracts with the different residences,
restaurants and other places for a
year, and states his willingness to
provide equipment for taking care
of the garbage in an adequate and
satisfactory manner, the citizens to
furnish the garbage cans.
While the signing of a contract
for disposal of garbage would not
be compulsory, the citizens would
be forced to comply with the city
ordinance requiring the keeping Of
their personal property in a sanitary
condition and If 10 bp1ipVa1 that
Pullman would present a much i'm
proved condition as a result of the
activities of the official garbage
man.
