This will bo a great help to the ball boys, as the season Is short nt best and tho early practice amounts to a great deal in noiping thorn to got Into shnpo rho talk among tho boys Is, "What color will bo nlco ror our now suits?"

We upend sovon hundred dollars for a football coiioh, and It Is only Just that the basobfill boys should be guaranteed nonin In. structlon, nnd given tho proper onoour ngoniont. Tho nuiuiigonient Innt year, with no precedent to aid. with grand stand to build, mul a tenm tin known to both student mul townsmen, engaged a conch and overcame nil tho above, dllllcnltles, and there wan but a Tew dollars deficit. The grand stand Is now complete, a canvas fence Is purchased and by tho nblo ninnnge mont of Mr. Oury the athletic assocla Hon has a slight balance to Its credit. If wo expect our baseball team to compolo with Chicago, Notre Dame, Illinois State University and other eastern tennis we must Inspire them to tho greatest exert Ions by giving thoni n conipetont coach, as all of theso eastern colleges have. A ro fusnl to give tho boys a coach will ruin the Bplendlil prospects of the team. COLLEGE NOTES.
