An item from the Philadelphia Record gives the name of Mr. G.

W. Weede as one of the most promising candidates for this year's football team. Mr. Weede acted as football captain last year. Will Caldwell, a last year's Normal student, visited college recently.

He has a position teaching for this winter at $40 per Athletics. Cooper opens this year with prospects for an excellent football team. Under the good management of W. W. Stahl, the athletic spirit has been kept alive during vacation.

Many of the old students have returned with the determination to do better work than last year, and many new students have been influenced to enter college, who are equally well determined ta make athletics a success. We are glad to see such an interest taken in athletics by the faculty that they have endeavored to arrange classes in such a way as to allow those wishing to practice to be out at 4:40 p. and have also given rooms to be fixed up as bath and dressing rooms. We should appreciate these privileges and make good use of them. The football season this year opens with a game at Nickerson, September 28th.

The Nickerson team is one of the strongest teams in this portion of the State. We expect a good game and wish our boys After the game with Nickerson a more complete organization of the team, will be effected. There will also be a second team organized. W. W.

Stahl, having resigned the position as captain of the football team, Frank Chase has been chosen to fill the vacancy. The athletic board is trying to make-plans by which Tarkio and Cooper Colleges may be brought into athletic contests. We hope they will succeed as this will be the r'Mui.
