ATHLETIGS.

Several of the colleges in the Northwestern Base-ball league are in favor of dropping the University of Minnesota, and taking in Chicago or the University of Illinois. Chicago would probably decline for this year.-Chicago University News.
At a meeting of the Athletic board Tuesday, action was taken looking toward the celebration on the grounds of McCook Field, of an intercollegiate field day. A committee consisting of Prof. Shepard, Matteson and Champlin was appointed to have the grounds put in order and to see that a suitable running track be at once prepared. It is proposed to build a cinder track that can be used in all kinds of weather and which will serve as an excellent place for training foot ball men. The committee decided to rent the rink for base ball practice and active work will be begun as soon as the selection of applicants for positions is made. This insures a good team for the coming contest with our neighbors in base ball. On request of the managers of the foot ball and base ball teams, Mr. Moody was appointed business manager of the two clubs. His selection will prove highly satisfactory to all concerned and will ensure an aggressive business policy that is badly needed.

"A Fair Rebel."
"Our German Ward."
"A Fair Rebel," which has crowded the Grand Opera house at Kansas City every night this week, will be at the Opera House here next Monday evening. This will no doubt be one of the best attractions of the season. The play is a very strong comedy. The chief episode in the play shows the escape by an underground tunnel of the Union prisoners at Libby prison.
The very laughable musical comedy entitled "Our German Ward," will be presented at the Opera House on Thursday evening by Middaugh's Musical Comedy Company. This is an excellent company, numbering some sixteen artists; among whom might be mentioned the following well known players: Mr. Allen Wightman, Wm. Woods, M. L. Kinsey, Wm. J. Woods, George L. Behrens, Fred Sawyer, Miss Maie Woods, Jessie D. Middaugh and Fannie Ogden.
