14 THE NORMAL ADVANCE to help the Athletic Association. It makes the the life of the school, and like almost every- thing else in this world, cannot exist for any length of time without funds. While the fee is not large, if every student becomes a mem- ber and pays his fee, it is amply sufficient for the expenses of the Association. Let us all help and take a personal interest and pride in the achievements of our I. S. N. athletes. There is no better way of showing this inter- est or pride than by becoming members of the Athletic Association. At the meeting of the 4tHe who has a thousand friends friend to spare ; And he who has one enemy everywhere? nominating committee, the following persons were nominated for the various oHices: PresidenteE.

THE NORMAL ADVANCE 13 gthleticg HE outlook for I. S. N. basket ball this fall is especially good. Besides nearly all of last years squad, a wealth of new ma- terial has entered school this fall. Of last years varsity squad, those who returned to school this fall, are: Capt. Knauth, Schench, Swanagan, forwards; Stifller, center, and Wann, Boyer, guards, also Shriner, the regu- lar sub 0n the team. Only one man is gone, Clark. But to make up for his loss7 there is Leech from Vincennes, and Burnett, both old play- ers; Robinson, a good candidate for guard; Mandeville, of last years Normal High School team; Claylton, member of last yearas 1911 varsity and Hoggart, a candidate for center. Coach Westphal is certainly feeling very 0p- timistie over the outlook. He gave the followe ing statement: ttVVhile old men are apparently in good shape, they know that they have no snap in holding their jobs for there are cere tainly some good, new men? So far as schedule is concerned, we are as- sured of some good games. We have been of- fered games with Indiana and have a tentative offer with Purdue, although nothing has been done definitely. The annual cider meet, which Professor VVestphal inaugurated when he took charge of Athletics at I. S. N., will probably be held in two or three weeks. This is an inter-elass af- fair that has added quite a little to the inter- est in Athletics and should continue to stimu- late interest. Coach Westphal is certainly do- ing his part to get out a splendid basket ball team and with the material from which he has to choose, there is no doubt that I. S. N. will again rank high in the athletics of the state. Last year we did splendidly, but this year we all wish to do, and. there is no reason Why we can not do, better. 011 Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 21, a mass meet- ing was held in the chapel for the purpose of electing representatives from the various classes to the nominating committee. Prof. Gillum was in charge and started the meeting enthusiastically by calling for some school yells. ctFaW Miller, our old yell-master, ren- dered some valiant service in helping to stir up athletic spirits. Prof. Gillurn then sepa- rated the classes for the purpose of electing their various representatives. were: Those chosen College Course, Messrs. Sehenck and Shriner; seniors, Messrs. Stiffler and Pyle; juniors, Messrs. French and Merchant; sopho- mores, Messrs. Brewer and Perry. Credit must be given the students of the College Course for the enthusiasm shown, perhaps due somewhat to the fact that they number the yell-leader among them. When all classes were through, Professor Gillurn again called the meeting to order and the nominating committee was announced. Professor Gillum then announced a meeting of this committee to nominate the Athletic Ase sociation oilicers. He then gave a short talk in which he urged that every one, students and faculty, alike, help support the Athletic Asso- ciation. He spoke of the difference between I. S. N. and other colleges. At some of the colleges, the association fee is higher, $10 or $15, while here it is only $3 per year, or $1 per term. At other schools it is compulsory, here it is entirely arbitrary with the student. Talks were also made by Rightsell, the President of last years association; Miller, last years yell leader, and by Sigler, the President of the Y. M. C. A. By this time Professor Laubach had come in and he was called upon for a talk. He united with the others in urging that every- one join and take upon himself a responsibility
