W The Alumni Athletic Committee n One of the best things that ever happened to DePauw. That,s the verdict of students, alumni, faculty and trustees 0n the service of the new Alumni Athletic Committee. lWVe're just getting started now. Wait a few years and Deszw will he on the map in capital letters. Thatis the idea of the nine men to whom the Trustees have committed the active management of our athletics. If they are only beginning, the Alumni Committee are eere tainly beginning well. in the few months since last commence- ment, when systematic alumni management began, these men have done plenty of things to justify the general feeling of satisfaction which prevails in DePanw circles. By their energy and enthusiasm they have won the admiration of the student body; by their high ideals of sport and their conservatism, they have commanded the respect and confidence of the faculty 'and trustees. And why shouldn't they? Every man of them made good when he was a DCPanw student, and every man of them is a leader now in the world Of affairs. Here are some of the things that this committee have done in their first few months on the job: They created the 0H5ee of G'adnate Manager of Athletics, so that they could have an agent on the campus and in the field, and elected Heber Ellis, ex-iOI, one of DePauwis best known athletes and a man of business ex- perience, to fill this position. They discovered Thomas A. Bogle, one of Coach Yost's star men, and hired him to coach 0111' football teams for a period of two years. They helped over thirty picked men in the present freshman class to decide on DePauw as their college. They have brought system into the management of ath- letie affairs, so that the accounts are now kept in an up-to-date way, and the properties cared for without waste. They have worked up schedules that give our teams a fair chance to show their ability. And finally they have gotten right behind every team, and by personal attendance at the games 01' ringing mes- sages to the teams they have stimulated our men to play in cham- pionship form. Who are these enthusiastic, hard-working alumni, so devoted to DePaqug welfare? Here are their names: Charles W'. Jewett CUCWidU, l07, Chairman. Guernsey VanRiper CWaifU, ex-,03, Treasurer. H. Foster Clippinger CTRipU, lOSJ Secretary. Hebcr Ellis CiHehein CX-,0l. Samuel K. Rniek ClPollle, ,97. Jay V. Carpenter UCarpij, l09. Walter Talley C'TalU, i06. Richard Shirley CiDiekU, '07. Edward B.
