THE NORMAL ADVANCE 1'7 ATHLETICS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. All indicatiOns point to a great year for I. S. N. in athletics. Despite the fact that there are not as many boys in school this year as is usual in the fall term, the Athletic Association is as well sup- ported as usual. In previous years the Association has had to depend for its support almost entirely upon the male members of our school, but this year a few of our girls have become members of the Association. It is needless to say that this is very inspiring to the boys. The annual election of ofiicers for the Ath- letic Association for the year 1910-11 was held on Saturday, Oct. 15th. A very efficient corps was chosen as follows: PresidenteElmer Row. , Vice-PresidenteLeonard MeCloud. SecretaryeMiss Ethel Hyde. llreasurergMilton B. Nugent. CustodianeHarry Howick. Manager Shanner of the base ball squad, and Tennis Manager Roy Stewart are not in school this term, but will be here ready for work next spring. PARSONS F1 ELD. Parsons Field is now all that the most san- guine ever expected it to be and is still being improved. Although not the largest it is one of the best college athletic fields in Indiana. Leonard McCloud has been busy all this term getting the ground ready for the fall practice and games. The track is in excellent condition, and the tennis courts are well worked down. BASKET BALL. Two new basket ball courts have been con- structed on the site of the old tennis courts, and the boys are turning out almost en masse for practice. Manager Asbury has about sixty persons enrolled as prospective players, and they are practicing every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Prof. Kimmel, as coach, is directing the field work. About twentyliive 0f the prospective players have played basket ball, and Prof. Kimmel reports several of these already showing good form. THE OUTLOOK. We may well look forward to a great year in athletics. Last year our base ball team in its first season on our new Parsons Field won every game played on the home diamond. During the summer tennis was a brilliant success, there being an average of twenty players on the courts daily. The same intense interest seems to be manifested this year in basket ball. For several years past our foot ball record has not been the most successful. The team of 1908 was disbanded about the middle of the term, and we had none at all last season. The fault was not with the athletic advisors, nor with the coach7 nor yet with the players them- selves, but it rested chiefly in the nature of the student body itself. Few men remain in school for more than one year at a time, and it is a hard matter, if not an absolute impossibility, to develop good foot ball form each year from new material. So last spring Manager J ohnson acting for the Athletic Board of the school and under the advice of the student body it- self, declared the foot ball career of the In diana State Normal School to be at an end. Consequently we now turn our attention to the saner and more humane game of basket ball.

The AD- VANCE joins their many friends in extending congratulations. The total enrollment for the fall term of 1910 is 478. The enrollment at the beginning of last year was 543. Last year there were 129 Normal Course graduates and 15 College Course graduates, making a total of 144. This fall term there are 110 enrolled in the Normal Senior class. The graduating class bids fair to be the largest in the history of the school, for certainly the number of Seniors will be materially increased during the winter and spring terms. There are 77 enrolled in the College Course at the beginning of this year, as compared to 72 for the whole of last year. THE DREAMEB AND THE DEAD.

18 THE NORMAL ADVANCE Six inter-class games have been arranged among the four classes of the schoolethe Soph- mores, the J uniors, the Seniors and the College Course. Each class will play each other class one game. The dates for the games have not yet been decided upon. The aVarsity team will be selected from the best material of the class teams; Normal High School Will play basket ball this season. Several inter-class games have been planned. Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. 17.211. 0.A. The Y. M. C. A. has been handicapped in its work this fall by the fact that the office of General Secretary, which was vacated by Mr. Wm. H. Cain, remains unfilled. The Advisory Committee are anxious to get a man for this position. They feel assured that they will be able to supply one soon. The various committees have been organized and the men are showing a determined spirit to carry out their work successfully. A contract has been given to the Orem Transfer Company for handling the students baggage this year. The patronage of all the students is earnestly solicited since this is one of the Associationls means of financial support. At a meeting of the Cabinet, Friday, Oct. 7, it was voted to conduct a book exchange on a strictly business basis for the benefit of stu- dents. The New Hand Book which was edited by Mr. T. G. Parker, is now in the hands of the Association and is being distributed to the members. Enough advertising was collected from the business and professional men of the city to make possible its publication. The men should show their appreciation of this by patronizing the advertisers. Four Bible study classes have been organized as follows: Baptist tMixedi ................ Prof. Bruce Presbyterian tMixedi ............. Mr. Buck Centenary M. E. tBoysi ........ Prof. Baxter Christian tMixedy ................. Mr. Dick Young men who have not already enrolled in one of these classes should do so at once. If you desire any information about them see Mr. J. M. Eddy. Professor Baxter addressed the first meeting of the Association Tuesday, Oct. 4. His sub- ject was ttThe Higher Criticism? He showed that he fully realized the new conditions into which young men are brought upon leaving home and entering into the college life, and pointed out the attitude that the student should take. The Rev. Mr. Talmage, of the First Congre- gational church, addressed a joint meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. Tuesday, Oct. 11. He gave an interesting talk on the cgPassion Play?7 Mr. Talmage, on his trip through Europe last summer, witnessed the rendering of the famous play. Professor Bacon spoke to the boys in a very pleasing manner on Machiavelianism, Tues- ' day, Oct. 18. The program committee has planned to have two meetings this term conducted wholly by members of the Association, in which it is hoped that every man will have an opportun- ity to take an active part. The regular meetings are held each Tuesday afternoon at 3 :30 in the Association rooms. It is the purpose of the Association to make these meetings examples of practical. Christianity so as to meet the needs of young men. Attend all meetings and enjoy their religious atmosphere. The Cabinet has voted to send a full delega- tion of men to the State convention, Which will be held at Vincennes Dec. 9-11.
