Tho books will be open for registration every day from 11 to 12 a. m. A nominal fee of twenty-five cents will bo charged for registering, but this is moroly a guar antee of good faith and intoreBt in athletics on tho part of tho votor, fdr it may be applied Inter ub a rebate upon any ticket to a University ath letic contest. Tho judgoB appointed wore Dr. T. L. Bolton, Dr. It. Q. Clapp, and Earl O. Eager. A numbor of football datos wore rati fled. South Dakota for Octobor 6, with a guarantee of $300, Ames for No vember 2, with $300, Denver for No vember 16, with $300, Doano for No vember 23, exponsos guaranteed, and St. Louis University at St. Louis for Thanksgiving, with $1,200 guaranteed or 50 per cent option.

There Is a two-year contract with Minnesota providing for a return moot' to be held here on tho same tormd. Efforts are being mndo to secure a' meet here for May 18, but so far with out success.- Also, a plan In on' foot, to arrange a meet with tho Kansas' City Athletic Club for Juno 2. In this' meet Freshmen will be allowed to compete and as a result will havo something to work for thruout tho sea sop. It Is likely that a couple of meets will bo arranged for Froshhien exclu sively with Freshmen teams of othoi' schools, so all first year mon are urged' to got out and work faithfully. Track work Is starting rather slowly owing to the cold weather and to tho fact that some of the men havo been late in getting back after vacation It is to be hoped, Indeed, it is impera tive, that from nOw on tho men lose . no time, since it is only two weeks until tho date of the preliminaries, . a very short' tlmo In which to get Into . shape. Besides, tho Ames meet, the hifrdest meet of tho season, probably, la but four weeks away. It Is very Im portant that the mon put every pos sible moment Into training If wo are to make even a creditable showing, the possibility of winning left out of consideration. Dr. Clapp will "work" . with those getting out from 4vto 5pjn. every day. Tho wOather should not hinder anyone. Forest Club.
