The term reception given by the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. the first Friday evening of the term was well attended. Miss Mary Kerr of Indianapolis, who will represent the Y. W. C. A. of Indiana in J apan, visited the association Oct. 9th and 10th. She was accompanied by Miss Melcher, the state secretary. A reception was given at the associ- ation hoiise Saturday evening, Oct. 9, in honor of Miss Kerr, who will sail Nov. 3 to take charge of her work across the Pacific. Saturday evening, Oct. 3,. the girls attthe Associationhouse gave a masquerade party for their friends. The evening was spent in pop- ping corn and toasting marshmallows. Every- body enjoyed a fine time. Miss Mable Lovett, who was general secre- tary here last year, is spending the winter at her home at South Milford, Indiana. ' iThe Association girls are looking forward With pleasure to first of November, when dele- gates from all the colleges in the state will meet here for the annual state convention. Y.M.0.A. The Y. M. C. A. began its work this fall un- der many difficulties, the greatest of which was the replacing of so many vacancies in the Cabinet. This was due to the fact that a large number of last years Cabinet did not return to school. These positions are all filled now, and every man seems to be starting into the work with a zeal and enthusiasm that counts. The Association personally inspected each room for boys at the beginning of .the term be- fore recommending it to any one. A number of men have been aided in finding places in which they could partly work their way. The book exchange did quite an extensive business. The $22.50 balance, which was due on the hand book has been settled and a missionary de- partment has been introduced. Three or more Bible Study classes Will be given, the number depending upon the num- ber of men in school who care to take up the work. Mr. Baxter will give a course in ttThe Social Significance in the Teachings of Christ? at 9:30 a. m., Sunday, at Centenary church.

THE NORMAL ADVANCE 23 ATHLETICS THE NEWiPARSONS FIELD The old rolling mill site, bounded on the north by the Big Four railroad, 0n the west by First street, on the south by the Vandalia' railroads and on the east by Second street, is undergoing rapid transformation into our new Parsons Field. The rough grading has been completed and Professors Kelso, Higgins and Baxter of the Department of Mathematics, as- sisted by members of the trigonometry class spent Friday and Saturday, October 15-16, surveying the grounds, setting the grade stakes and preparing data for the contractors. The job of completing the grounds will be let at once and we may expect to see the field com- pleted this fall. The field is of regulation size, Within easy access of the Normal school grounds, and when completed will give a new life to athletics at I. S. N. FOOTBALL Owing to the fact that the Board of Trustees has sold Parsons Field and purchased another athletic field closer to the school, it looks as if football will be one of the future sports at I. S. N. With this in mind the students thought that it would be well for them to begin football this season and thus have something to work from next year. At the present the prospects for a good team this year are very promising. Manager John- son has secured Dr. McCarthy, a former I. U. player, to coach the team this year. iiDocli is a hard worker and is doing all in his power to develop a team that will make a fair show- ing on the gridiron. Owing to the small num- ber of men to pick from and many of them without experience, this is no easy task, but with such men as Bash, Whitaker, Sink, Hunter, Wood, Nugent, Bowles, Sharpe, Un- verferth, Clayton, Martin and Powers, it seems as if there will be something doing yet. The Athletic association has been at a great expense this year in securing a coach, and it deserves the support of every student. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association held its annual election Saturday morning, Oct. 9, and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Wm. Bass; Bowles; treasurer, Elmer Row; secretary, Pauline Edington; football manager, Guy J ohnson. At a recent meeting of the Athletic board, Mr. M. B. Nugent was appointed cus- todian. iiThe Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon Turns asheswr it prospers; and anon, .
