The board of control, which directs all athletics at the university, will not meet to take action on this question until some time in January, but already the agitation for a change in coaches is under way. Back of this is not only the opposition to Coach Hollister on the part of the alumni, but the members of this years team are in favor of bringing to Northwestern next season a new coach. It Is reported that several men are now under consideration, the choice of alumni and players being Walter McCornack. coach of Dartmouth College. whose work has shown such good results this season.

The Moose. The moose or elk is the largest member of the deer family; it lives in Northern Europe and America. It is a good runner when the ground is olid and leads the hunter a long chase, but when the snow is deep It is easily secured because of its awkward gait when running. It Is hunted on snow shoes in winter, and it feeds on the twigs of trees. The skin makes a very good leather, it is soft and thick. The moose ean be trained to draw sledges and become a beast of burden, and is a good swimmer. The antlers of the moose are very heavy, but they serve as a kind of wings and help them along.

Before our flag was designed the dif ferent colonies used different flags, several of them showiig the pine tree. This flag, like the flag of 1775. slows a strong likeness to the English flag. The ground is blue, the field ia the corner ahite with a red cross, and a green pine tree.- The last banner is the one known as the Stars and Bars, the flag of the Southern Confederacy. This flag was sufficiently like the flag of the union to cause a confusion at times of battle, so it was changed for the Southern Cross, ukich is the flag that we commonly see. The one before you was, however, the real flag of the South. The stripes are red and white, the white one being in the middle.

I often think how surprised the cannon must be every summer to have a bird fly out of it instead of a cannon baiL The cannon is 200 years old. We are quite sure of this because a date was put on it when it was made, but we know nothing about the first hundred years of its life, and we do not believe even the bird does which has built its nest within it although we think the robin that sings in the apple tree may know a great deal more about the apple trees story than we do. We, for instance, only know it as far back as the year when the boys went blueberryicg in the sheep pasture. That was in 1786. Possibly some robin may have sung about the years before to the little baby robins, and they, when they grew np, to the other little baby robins, until in this way the story has come down to the robins which sing to us now.
