age We expect to have a strong team
during the coming season and shall give
it our fullest encouragement ."
Professor .lames E. Anient, president
of the Northwestern Normal school,
says: "I will say briefly that the fac-
ulty of this institution favors football
and will encourage it, exercising al-
ways a judicious oversight over the
practice, as well us the public, games of
our teams."
The game in which probably the
greatest interest will be that between
the University of Oklahoma and the
University of Kansas teams to be play-
ed after Fhanksgiving day. It is pro-
posed to make this game an annual
feature of the football season. It has
not yet been decided where this year's
term will be held in Pottawato-
mie county either this month or
early in December. The Greer
county docket is not large
bably a week' work.
