to 60 grams. There were no Untoward

In' experiments yon Yale athletes, in,

ot proteids was reduced one-half in

A plan 1b now Under way for the

during tho coming spring months,
probably the latter part oA'prtl. Con
siderable progress has already been
made In. the lining up. of attractions,
and active work In. rehearsals will
likely begin tho last of. next week.
Tho plan is being pushed by the Uni
versity Y. M. C. A. , . It
The two men who will hn,vq charge
of the training and preparation of
program are Guy Montgomery and
Donald Plumb, the former w.lll .super
vise the minstrel and fn,rce,porttons of
tho entertalnmont and the. latter will
direct tho music end of it. Both men
have had ample, experience along this
lino, which will moan much to the
success of tho undertaking,
The program, as outlined thus far,
contains the threo "regulation" divi
sions, tho oponlng comprises., tho mus
ical and Inevitable "take-off 'numbers,

and tar.e.i guaranteed b.y all wh6 have
witnessed their performances to make
alilfc'Thd other portions "of tho pro
gram will be developed to completion
In the next few weeks.
Owing to tho absence of thegonoral
secretary last week, there, has been
some difficulty ' In .the registering of
men who wish to try"out. Several
have signified 'their intention of doing
so,, but others are wanted at once.
These try-outs will .fee iconductedf by
Mr. Montgomery next week and hence
all who desire to get In before It Is
too late should register this week.
Men may leave their names with
either General Secretary Dor Kinder--on,
Guy Montgomery or J. C. Knodo,
The Intention Is to make this under-,
taking a thoroughly enjoyable "and
''frollcky" one, while, at the'sanie'tlma'
establishing a university T institution
really worth while. -
Owing to the fact that the street
cars have not. "been running to the
State Farm the laBt two days, all uni
versity classes held there have been
dismissed and but few ot the school of
agriculture classes, were in session, as
many of the profossors'llve in the city.
It is' expected that the cars will be
running today and the students who
go out every day will resume their
work. '
