ATHLETIC COLUMN
EDITOR, R. R. WHITMAN.
About a month ago a committee of twenty-five students was selected by the Athletic Board to solicit subscriptions for the Athletic Field Fund. Up to date somewhat over one hundred students have contributed one hundred and fifty dollars. The faculty has contributed one hundred and fifty dollars and is taking much interest in the work; surely five hundred students have patriotism enough to contribute at least three hundred and fifty dollars. This would make a total of five hundred dollars raised in the University and would insure substantial aid from the Regents, business men and alumni. We believe that the reason so few have contributed is that the matter has not been properly presented to them. The Athletic Board has therefore app pointed a committee to see all students who have not yet contributed. This committee should meet with a hearty response. The University can do nothing in the way of systematic Athletics until it has a permanent field. We have the finest location for a field possible at our very door, it should be a matter of pride with each student, to see this field cleared and made ready for use. The Athletic Board is doing its best to secure the necessary funds, but the active interest and support of each student is needed.
The Athletic Board held a long meeting last Saturday morning. Much important business was transacted. Charles B. Voorhis was elected captain of the ball nine and W. R. Armstrong manager. Mr. Armstrong was instructed to put the Massachusetts Street ball ground in shape immediately, and to purchase the necessary outfit for the team. Arrangements were made to use the courts of the West Lawrence Tennis club for match games and tournaments. The plans for the Athletic field were discussed at length and a committee with Prof. Carruth as chairman was appointed to consult with some contractor with reference to the grading. It was decided to select some crews for rowing, and have them practice regularly. Means were adopted to increase the fund for the Athletic field. It was decided to give a dramatic entertainment for the benefit of the ball and tennis teams. The following members were present: Professors Carruth and Winkler, and Messrs. Kellogg, Voorhis, Hickey, Whitman, Hall, Sherman and Armstrong.
Amherst has adopted an Athletic Board to control its Athletic interest. The board is composed of ten members namely, the presidents, respectively of the base ball, foot ball and the athletic associations of the college, the professor of physical education, two other members of the faculty and Frederic B. Pratt. Mr. Pratt is the donor of the new Athletic Field.
The base ball committee have selected the men for the University team, and a second team, and practice work will commence at once.
No.26.
The committee wish it understood that these are simply trial teams, until each player's work can be judged. No player will be retained on the nine who does not practice the required amount of time. The names of those on the University team at present are as follows:
L. A. Smith, ( ) Pitcher
E. C. Hickey, ( ) Catcher
J. B. Davis, ( ) 1st Base
C. B. Voorhis, ( ) 2nd Base
D. E. Esterly, ( ) 3rd Base
Bryce Crawford, ( ) Short Stop
Campbell Watson, ( )
W. E. Curry, ( ) Fielders.
W. E. Swank, ( )
These men have all played with one team before with the, exception of Smith and Crawford. Smith pitched for an Illinois college club last year, and two years ago for the Atchison club. Crawford played last year at the Salina Wesleyan and comes here with the reputation of being a good ball player. Taken all in all the team is a strong one
At last K. S. U. is to have a dramatic entertainment. The Athletic Board is making arrangements to present "Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon," as translated by A. G. Canfield. The play will be given at the Opera House and the proceeds will go toward equipping the ball team and for the other regular expenses. The cost will be found in another column of the KANSAN
NOTES.
In one half hour the students of Williams raised $809 for their ball team.
Three hundred dollars have so far been raised for the Athletic Field.
Abe Levy with his characteristic generosity is to furnish the ball nine with caps.
Kellogg, Nourse, Fox, Sherman,
"Peabody and Sears have joined the West Lawrence Tennis Club."
Those who intend to purchase tennis goods this spring would do well to see the editor of this column-
An Ohio inter-collegiate athletic association has been formed by Denison University, University of Wooster, Buchtel College and Ohio State University.
W. R. Armstrong is the new manager of the ball team and C. B. Voorhis succeeds John Davis as captain. Mr. Davis has filled the position creditably but when Mr. Voorhis resigned the captaincy last year it was understood that he should have it again when he felt able to take it.
The 1st Regiment Concert next Tuesday evening will be composed of 35 pieces.
