SPECIAL ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES FOR FRESHMAN CLASS

The Department of Recreational Activities has completed plans to make compulsory athletic work more interesting to the members of the freshman class, by putting the various sports upon a competitive basis.

Coach Tesreau has about 90 of the first year men reporting to him for recreational baseball. These men are to be organized into" a league consisting of eight or nine teams, and a series of games will be played for the championship of this league. As much personal instruction in the rudiments of baseball as possible will be given the eighty-odd candidates.

The recreational football squad will be in charge of M. P. Merritt '22. Since many of these men have been cut from the regular freshman squad, .Merritt will keep an eye on the various men, and any who show up particularly well have a chance of being returned to the squad.

Earl Thomson is taking charge of the men reporting for track and is holding daily practice in preparation for a meet which will be held the latter part of October. On clear and warm days these men will report for practice out-of-doors, but on rainy and cold days the practice will be held in the gym. Track Coach Hillman is taking charge of the recreational cross-country men.
