We call attention to an article in
another column in regard to the for
mation of basket-ball teams by Mr.
Calder. This game should meet with
encouragement from the students.
With the introduction of any healthy
game our athletic life is broadened
and affords a wider and more attract

work and push the game for all its
worth. We trust that there will be
reserved for it a better fate tljan has
persued our Golf and Tennis Teams.
In last week's issue we announced
that the Advisory Committee had been

for the University to lend a helping
hand to our Preparatory School ath
letics and join with them not only in
words but in fact in developing
good strong athletics in these schools.
We have always felt the lack of Prep
School athletics and now is the chance
to correct the evil. It is a good move
on the part of those schools and we
sincerely trust that it will prove suc
cessful. i We extend to them a hearty
welcome feeling sure that they will
meet with kindness and encouragement
from the entire student body.
