Such a suspicion would be of the greatest injury to our prosperity...
Track work in preparation for the University and Freshman fall handicap games will begin on Monday. Every man eligible for either the University or the Freshman team should report Monday on Soldiers Field to Coaches Donovan or Quinn, or to Captain Rand. As the track policy now is to pay much attention to the possibilities of new or comparatively inexperienced men, it is necessary for success that all possible candidates should report. If possible, men should report between the hours of ten and one as more attention can then be given them by the coaches...
