interests, but for quick and direct control, in a satisfactory and agreeable manner, it is necessary to have a few individuals organized within the general association. This body is known as the executive committee or board of control. By the constitution, these officers are as follows: the first members are the chairman and treasurer, chosen from the faculty. At present these are Mr. Hayward and Mr. Soulhworth. The remaining five members arc made up of three students from the senior class as follows: Phil Lewis. Earl I umy. and James Weeks. Two members must be chosen from the junior class; the present members are Frederick Bruchholz and Harold Van Duzee. Mr. Bruchholz is secretary and Mr. Weeks is assistant treasurer. The secretary, by the constitution is chosen from the association members by such members, but the assistant-treasurer is elected from and by the executive committee. The board of control meets every Monday when necessary. All officers of the executive committee arc expected to meet upon call, hear reports, to discuss suggestions from any of the student body, control all moneys, and elect a coach or director of each team. The constitution prescribes the duties and requirements for department member-chip, managers and organization. 1 he executive committee elects who shall receive awards as W's, sweaters and jerseys. It may be interesting to know of the financial side of the association for the past season.

 Don't foul, don’t flinch, but hit the line hard. — T HF.ODORF. Roosf.vf.LT. About Foot Ball in 1910 ONE of ihe things which has compelled Minnesota to recognize West High School, is the football team that represented this institution in the season just passed, that of 1909. West did not lose a game and as this is only the second football team that has represented this school in its existence the fourteen men who won their letters are proud of their work. Football in Minneapolis is conducted in such a competent manner that every year brings out five high school teams which are the equal of any high school team in the country. University coaches claim that it takes two or three years to lay a foundation for a championship team among universities. One would think that this rule would follow in high school, but evidently it does not. for we laid our foundation one year and won the championship the next. This school deserved a champion team, for at each game supporters of West outnumbered and outyelled those of other schools. West has a school spirit seldom seen in a high school and it is to be hoped it will always have it. Looking at the season from a financial point of view nothing but success can be seen. West spent more money in looking after its players and made more above all its expenses than any other high school in the city and by this policy the Athletic Board has done its part in winning the championship. And last, but not least. West had two excellent coaches this season. It is the unanimous opinion among the members of the team that “Lex and Ed. Chestnut are largely responsible for our victories and one of the best things that can happen for football at West is to have these two men coaching its football team next year.
