They did not care for the 50¢ dow payment each time. This should all be paid at one. : : Will you kindly check with the boys and nee how many would like to take advantage of this offi. Sines school is no+ over until near the end of June this looks like a very good deal. i have just noticed in the intramural program for the golf tournament they plan to start the week of March 26th. If you Gould gather the names of all these boys they could pay their $10.00 here at the office and I could make arrangements for all of them to play out there. Otherwise, it will be necessary for then to get in touch with Mr. George Wetzel, secretary of the Country Club, at his office in the Commmity Building.

Ernie has already put vitality in the thing here. He has better-fed and better-clothed the athletes than has any other administration. He realizes that he must deliver the goods. But he has a grand opportunity to do it because of the low estate of the football team. We are working with him one humdred per cent, and we have ee ee oe oe ee ee ee come insurmountable eae.
