The loss of ssiieli men as '‘Sandy” Hamilton. Pudge” Wyman, “Red” Huey, Taylor. Dahlquist, Jacobson, and Weeded will he keenly felt. These fellows who have fought many a battle for East merit great praise. The fine spirit of such men as Helmick, Treat, Mork, and Spain, as well as a great number of substitutes is to be commended. In looking back over the season, which was none too successful, to he sure, it can he predicted with all due conservatism that another season will bring still better results and. let us all hope, a championship team. As Mr. Webster said, “Another season with the same steady improvement and we will he on the roof garden instead of in the cellar.” Last fall a great spirit was developed in the school. Also a considerable amount of new material was unearthed from which we hope to develop another “Sandy” or “Pudge.” All of us are anxious to see that silver football in our trophy case. What can wc do to put it there? Let every fellow who has the time join the squad! Between now and then get into training by annexing a few of those much desired double pluses to that report card of yours. They won't come so hard next fall. Those who cannot join the squad register in the cheering department! Whether we win or lose we have benefited. Here's to a successful season for 1914.

FOOTBALL A SCHOOL that can turn out a championship athletic team has just reason to he proud. And why! Xot merely because a championship means that, that school is so fortunate as to have within its number a few who are sturdy athletes, but also because a championship means that those athletes have maintained a high scholastic standing while engaging in athletics. In this day of athletic competition, scholastic deficients are barred out by eligibility rules. Since the close of the last football season, there has been prevalent among those interested in football a new spirit of scholastic endeavor. That is the foundation of a championship team, and upon it we hope to build surely and to bring to Hast that silver trophy. In the past East has been lacking in someihi.ig which is essential to winning teams. The team of 1913, though not a winning team, showed signs of regaining possession of that “Something. From the start of the season to the finish East displayed an ever improving game. It is true an 18-0 defeat at the hands of West was a lowly start, but the 0-0 game against South, which closed the season, was evidence of what East can do when imbued with the fighting spirit, and backed by a loyal, enthusiastic student body. Next season, football starts where it left off November 8, 1913, with that spirit which it took much of last season to acquire. The following scores show where East started, where East left off. and where East will begin next season: East, 7—St. Paul Mech. Arts, 0. East, 0—West, 18. East, 0—North, 7. East, 14—St. Paul Central, 0. East, 6—Central, 6. East, 48—Blake, 0. East, 0—South, 0.

The Athletic Field IN 1IM2 the City Council voted $ 14.500 for Hast High's athletic field. This money was set aside and no further action was taken until in the Spring of 1013 when Alderman Chase found a suitable site. The Student Council, led by Huey petitioned for this land. As a result, the land was purchased for the sum of $11,750, leaving a balance of .$2,250 for buying more land. The land purchased consists of the whole block between Como and Talmage, and 10th and 11th Avenues. South East, and a third of the adjoining block to the 11th Avenue side. This territory affords plenty of room for baseball, football, track, and tennis grounds. No improvements have been made on the grounds as yet but they are in good condition for football and baseball. We are publishing herewith a sketch of the field as we hope to see it some day. Thirteen
