The T. V. C. A. gymnasium classes
are growing dally. Thirty boys are
now enjoying two evenings each week
In good physical training and devel
opment. It Is Interesting lu note how
rapidly the boy adjust themselves
to the msclnllne of the floor and how
readily they take up the regular
form of exercise.
The ma are steadily falling Into
line and r.re Joining the evening clas
ses. u surprising that they have
held elf so long. Secretary Rudd had
hoped that (Infinite plans for the or
ganttatton of a city basket ball league
might be affected by December 1st.
but he m.- stnte that "unless considered.-
nmre interest Is shown on
tbe part nf the men In definite mem
bership (hiring the coming week that
no lca.;:i! to ny be formed until lutcr

blows for the alunnl-hign school
game. The contest winds np bigb
school football this year and will
give the people who are enjoying a
business holiday on that occasion the
opportunity of seeing something real
ly clever. Tbe game will not be a
ram-s mashing proposition likely, for
tbe old stars and the present young

and sample of op to the minute play
will be paraded before an admiring

Queer freak come and go In foot
ball but West Chicago had a new one
last Sunday. A crowd of girla who
call themselves "Vscsars" though
none of them probably ever peered in
to a dormittory, went out to West Cbl
crn to play real men at - football.
Their coming bad been well herald
ed and ail the ministers in the sub
urb banded to oppose the game, call
ing it Immora' The minister warn
ed ther flock not to go near the
naughty game, but practia'ly all in
the criere gallons bad already pur
chased seats which the ministers
didn't know. Finally th " for the
game came, and owner of vacant
lots happened to be opposed and kept
the glrl ' - moving hith
er and there to get flat place to
start the game on. After being
chased from place to place tbe crowd
tired and dwindled and the captain of
the girls noticed the gatekeeper had
"wandered astray" with the slmollons
From chesty football players to sob
bing lassies was a hurried step, aim
the suburb's city council had to send
the discouraged girls back to Chicago
on public purse expense. This Is
probably tbe n- - thins girls
football team that ever happened.
