Some of the men threaten to turn in their suits.

A NEW CHECK ON ATHLETIC FUNDS
OLD SYSTEM HAS BEEN OUT
GROWN.
Athletic Board Appoints Committee to Draft System in Accordance With Present Needs.
A system of accounting for the athletic association of the University which will provide an accurate check on receipts and expenditures will be devised by a committee of the athletic board appointed yesterday by Judge Green. The members of the committee are Prof. A. J. Boynton, Prof. Carl Becker, and "Mike" Lynch. The business done in athletics at the University has become so large in extent and so complex that the simple auditing system which has been used for years no longer is sufficient to cover it all. The committee appointed yesterday will confer with Secretary E. E. Brown relative to a checking system which will be adequate to present conditions.
One of the members of the board expressed surprise when told at the meeting yesterday he far the system now in use fell short of present needs. "Why, I supposed all University finances at the University were checked up as closely as the faculty's traveling expenses," he said. "I went out to deliver an extension lecture the other day, and it cost me $1.50 because I had neglected to take my receipt book along."
It is probable that some time will elapse before the new checking system will be in use.

in Letter to "Bill" Caldwell Statement Is Made—Missouri's Plan Described.
Coach "Bill" Caldwell of the Haskell Indian football team wrote to a Lincoln, Neb., hotel this week to make arrangements for the accommodation of the men of his team on Thanksgiving day, when they play Nebraska.

A Missouri student has described the method of maintaining the Tigers' training table as follows: "The team boards at the University dining club. During the football season, all the students who eat there are assessed ten or fifteen cents per week above the usual price of board. The excess is used to provide regular training table fare for the football squad."
