Uorang was back at his old position at third base, and Moll and Steinhauser both showed lots of stuff behind the bat.

This appears to be a hard hitting combination, for yesterday afternoon In the hitting practice they looked good. The candidates for hurling berths include Ha pass.

H. economy on the part of the budget until this obligatiou is materially reduced. Those who are laniiliar with cohere athletics realize fully that no manager, captain or coach ever appeared with the proposition to tho athletic authorities that he and his team wished lo get on with less funds than the administration which preceded him. fact the usual cry is, "The team had all these things in the line of conches, equipment, last year, so we must have It this year, and more than that there are a few other things which are esacn-lial." It is In this way that the thing has grown'to such proportions as to really alarm those who are the most steadfast in their support of the athletics of the college. Meantime, the Moses to lead athletK-s out of this dangerous wilderness has not appeared, and he would be distinctly unpopular if he did.

The watchdog of the treasury always has a bard life and anyone who attempted in any college or university to reduce the general expenditure would find everything against him. And yet if these budgets grow, and fairy godmothers in the shape of philanthropic millionaire graduates do not appear to "give until it hurts." the time must come when at the present rat of increased expenses even the gate receipts of the big stadulms will not take care of all the outlay. Then Indeed matters will become serious, and the condition then confronting the authorities will be a most delicat-i one. receipts Is not to be wondered at. nor Is it to be deprecated.

The alarming thing about the whole situation is the extravagant over-organisation and (expenditure which eats up the funds rapidly that reserves and surpluses are not established, and debts for structures are not extinguished. The University of Illinois has just come up against this situation with its new stadium. There is a large amount in unpaid subscriptions which may ilnd Its way Into the hands of attorneys to collect a most unfortunate situation which probably the loyal alumni, who are backing the big project, will pre-vint by advancse themselves to the bonks. If this thing should happen and the alumni should make themselves responsible, It should entail the strictest great deal or this interest would disappear if the outside contests of the 'varsity teams were eliminated.
