In anticipation of a strong devel¬ opment in football this year, the athletic committee purchased a com¬ plete equipment, of the best possible quality. The very first afternoon of the new term saw a larger number of candidates out (or practice than for many years.

The first game of the sea¬ son is scheduled for Saturday after¬ noon, September 30th, and local fans are looking forward to this with much IntereS't. This Is evidenced by the number of tickets that have al¬ ready been sold In town for this game. With the material thot the coaches have in hand, and the en¬ thusiasm that is being shown by all the cadets, it is certain that a snappy football season can be looked for.
