Plans for Building Ten New Handball Courts Announced
Golf Courses Also Included in Project to Expand Sports Grounds on Campus
Eight new handball courts out of doors, two new courts indoors, and two small golf courses on the campus are included in plans for the expansion of University athletic facilities by Dr. F. C., Allen director of athletics, this summer. These plans promise to materialize immediately.
The outdoor handrail courts are being constructed 50 feet south of Robin Grassmannum. The grazing is private and is not to be used. It will be standard size four wall courts with open ceiling covered by wire in all order that full benefit of outdoor space.
The construction will be in two units with four of the courts slightly behind the wall, with side. From an architectural point of view, will harmonize with the rest of the camps. Follage and climbing vines will be trained on the lattice work sides.
Wrestling Rings to We Moved
Inside the gymnasium the two
wrestling rings in the basement dress-
ing room will be moved to the west
and east sides of the construction
in their places. This will make
a total of five indoor courts.
Construction of additional handball courts comes as a result of a greatly increased popularity of handball courts have proved very inadequate
The new outdoor courts can be used for at least eleven months out of the year, in the opinion of Doctor Allen. They will be electrically lighted for night use, and will be properly drained for wet weather. They are not to be of permanent construction. Doctor Aller has six five-years, by which time the program of the athletic department will have provided further facilities.
**Course for ESf Basketball**
A five week course in basketball in prospect to be constructed south of Robinson gymnasium. Three other holes will be put in around Potter's net and the net should still remain. The two courses may be possible to the same two courses, to make a full sized course, but the plan will give student golf fans opportunity to indulge in the course.
The golf course idea was more feasible than the construction of further tennis courts on the campus, owing to its size. It requires expensive grading. Tennis courts are being built on ground purchased off the campus which does not require extensive grading. At present courts are being built on lot just below the course.
These plans together with others which are still in the process of formation, are being carried out with the desire to stimulate interest in outdoor play among students of the school. They know whose ambitions for "every student playing his own game" are fast materializing.

Voluntary Pledges to Be Asked for in Class Canvass
Students May Pay Smal Fee at Registration or Give Larger Sum Later
"The memorial plans committee is not planning a drive or even a campaign as usually organized," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman of the memorial plans committee, this morning when naked concerning the inscription of the names for funds to complete the second floor of Union Memorial building.
"Instead of the current opinion that a drive is about to be initiated on the Hill, an attempt will be made during the next three weeks to lay before the students as much information as possible about the Union idea in order to gain a better understanding and paid toward bringing the benefits of that idea to this campus," Professor Mitchell continued. "If our students can be made aware of the surprisingly large place great unions are already taking in the lives of other universities and that the same results are possible and just as desirable."

Blanks to Be Distributed
"After available information has been put before the students as adequately as time and circumstances will permit, it is planned to distribute blanks in all classes at the same hour in each school and collect them as soon as they have indicated another teacher they will either pay a small voluntary fee at each registration next year or pledge a bigger voluntary contribution, or make no pledge at all.
"A few hundred who will not be in class at the particular time of taking pledges will have to be seen by personal workers, but aside from that they may not be so obliged no tagging and no pressure to make organizations "come through." 100 per cent with contributions above a certain minimum, and those who do not contribute in the organization may be able to pay twice as much and not notice the expense and others may not be able to pay half the amount without making desired saffron fees.
"Our students today are enjoying the benefits of a great stadium because of the generosity and sacrifice of former students. When they consider what they can fairly do that will benefit our union, I believe their response will be adequate." Professor Mitchell concluded.

He decided to return to Chicago—which he left a few hours before a bomb exploded and wrecked his home here Monday night—when two of his supporters received death threats. Circuit Judge Jude van Dam, candidate for a threatening call late yesterday. His home was bombed Monday night a few minutes after Deneen's.
State Senator Herman J. Huischnau Deneen candidate for Republican committee, yesterday reported to authorities the receipt of a vote, threatening to "get" one of his three children to "treat his home like Senator Denew".
States Attorney Grove was understood today to be continuing preparations of evidence on the bombings for which he and his team had, though a reward of $8,000 had been offered no suspects were arrested in the Demen and Swanson explosions.
