NOTES ON FIELD DAY.
Have you seen the gold medal offered by
Johnnie Cameron and Little Yont, for the
bost all-round athlete? It's a daisy, you
bet. Boys, it'll pay you to get down and
dig for it.
Tho committee having in charge iho Field
Day sports are mooting with very flattering
success. It is hoped that there may bo no
dissatisfaction shown. The Hesperian con
gratulates tho association on its excellent
choice of manager. Mr. Cameron's success
of last year is bound to bo repeated on a
larger scale.
REVISION OF TnE CONSTITUTION.
Tho committee appointed some time ago
to roport a new constitution for tho Athletic
Association has as yet done nothing. Presi
dent Whito placed on this committee H. J.
Weaver, Bert Forbes, Otis Whipple, John
Cameron. After considerable thought and
feeling after public sentiment, tho members
are in a dilemma. It is not th be wondered
at. Truly it is doubtful if tho faculty as
members of the association would make
meetings more orderly. Might it not tend
in tho other direction?
BASE BALL OUTLOOK.

AN INTERVIEW WITH CAPTAIN HEALD.
After several unsuccessful attempts to
find some ono who.could toll The Hesperian
readers about base ball for tho coming year,
Captain Harvey Hoald was discovered
deeply interested in Butcher & Lang's
Odyssey. Ho had such a deep expression on
his face that tho scribe had some fears of
approaching him. A tooth-pick stuck out
like a beak between his closed teeth. When
tho writer approached the captain ho began
a discussion whether Odysseus wrote about
Homer or Homer about OdysseuB. Wo
discussed this question fully twenty minutes,
(you see interviewers must lead up to tho sub
ject) and then,
Scribe How about the base ball outlook ?
Captain H. Well, I'm going to try to
got tho best material in school interested
this year. There isn't going to bo tho least
preference for old players. Everybody's
got to como in and stand his chances. All
who want to try are hauding their names in
to Billy Hayward or me.
Scribe. How many names have you got?
Captain H. There are over twonty.
These aro going to practice and practice
hard, and of them, some twelve or thirteen
no not thirteen, that's an unlucky number
well, say twelve aro going to be choBon, to
make tho trips which
Scribe. Hold on a minute. What sort
of practice you going to have ?
Captain H. Well, whenever weather per
mits we're going to work out doors; when
its "cold and damp and dreary"
Scribe. Just leave out that poetry, ploaso.
Captain H. We're going to work with
dumb-bolls and arm movements. (Here
Harvoy swung out his right arm with a
gleeful chuckle and whanged the scribe in
tho left eyo. Without noticing it ho con
tinued:) We'll put in two hours every Satur
day and whatever other time" wo can get
through the week.
Scribe. What trip did you speak of?
Captain H. We're going down to Kan-
