During the past week there has been much improvement in the University football team. The practice has been on the usual order, except that Sanford '94 has been added to the list of field coaches, and has been giving especial attention to the guards and tackles. No positions have been definitely given yet, and the contest for positions promises to be very hard. During the week the games with Springfield Training School and Holy Cross showed great improvements in the team. In both games the plays were executed with great quickness and were remarkably free from fumbling. Jones, the freshman candidate for quarterback, made two wonderful runs through a broken field.

The fall track meet was held on Saturday and was a great success. According to the new rule no "Y" men were allowed to compete, and much new material was brought out, which can be counted on to strengthen the team materially.

At a meeting of the class of 1908 the following men were elected class deacons: H. S. Beardsley, G. Dani, J. Williams, F. E. Norris.

The total registration of the incoming class has been announced as 719, very nearly a gain of 100 over that of last year. The greatest percentage of gain was in the Sheffield department.
