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

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.

ANDERSON WYMAN ANDKKSCH MILLER WAY GANZER SPAIN Hockey ALTHOUGH East finally annexed a new hockey rink at Van Cleve Park, changeable weather made practice upon it impossible until a week before the season commenced. West and Central defeated us in our first two games. The team, however, found its stride in the next game and beat North. When we again met West a terrible struggle ensued. The score stood 2 to 1 in favor of East until the last minute of play, when West again tallied. It took two extra periods to determine the winner, West finally winning 3 to 2. Meeting Central and North the second time, East lost to Central but forced North to take a second defeat. An even break resulted in the two out-of-town games. Although East lost to Saint Paul Central, they defeated the strong Saint Thomas aggregation by a 1 to 0 score. In this game. Spain made a pretty goal in an extra period of play. Captain Way at cover point and Anderson at goal did brilliant work throughout the season. Their playing will be missed next year, but with four veterans and some promising second string men East should be well represented. Fourteen
