WEST K'llb-'::::etaoc- 1 aspirants are planning all players whose furnames begin with the letter "S." Six of the boys got together and decided that they would form a team and schedule games with outside teams. Sidney Spencer, Lawrence Spencer, Melvln Snelgrove, Lewis Squires, Maurice Stiefel and Howard Stains are the boys who will compose the squad. All of these men are candidates for the school team and from present Indications should make any outside team hustle to win. The Spencer twins are both athletes of rare ability. Lawrence played a star game at end on the gridiron team and was selected as an end e on the high school team, lie plays a brilliant game at forward and Is always able to score many points from the foul line as well as the field. He Is captain-elefor the school baseball team for the coming year and plays the Initial sack like a veteran. In track he Is a high Jumper and a pole vaultcr, being equally good in each. His brother Sidney is also a crack athlete, although baf.ket-baIs hisi only pastime. He is also a forward and Is one of the mainstays of the West Side quintet. Snelgrove, although a pigmy in size, played a good game at quarterback for the Panthers during the season just closed, is an excellent baseball player and a well developed basketball man. He is also n member of the track team. Stiefel was captain of the gridiron team fcr he season Jus4 closed and was the unanimous choice for quarterback. Stiefel Is also a candidate for a position on the basketball team, and is a mainstay of the baseball nine. Squires and Staines are both good men and will no doubt make a name for themselves before they are graduated from the West High institution. With this bunch of athletes on the team the boys should make a real showing during the coming season. To have a team composed of men with the same beginning letter in the surname and to be able to claim them all aa stars in any branch of athletics is strikingly unusual. The boys are desirous of playing games with outside high school or independent teams and would like to arrange games for the coming Cnristmas holidays. Manager Lynn llaybould will take care of all communications addressed him at 02S S. West Temple street or at the high school. ct ll ll lo all-sta- - lirflcfency. new development ' is entirely to take Place In modern "port, and that is the deyelopient of efficiency along In lrjc; f o?

The" "Book of Leinster" compiled from ancient manuscript alone, without going into the other volumes, fully proves my claim that Ireland was the first country in the world to originate and conduct civilized, skillful boxing, under rules and regulations.

The contemplated reform is to be directed chiefly at football. Several facheads recently expressed astonishulty ment at the expenditure of thousands of dollars and the elaborate preparations made to produce a victorious football eleven. This wild mania of turning out winning teams, football, baseball, any branch of intercollegiate sport, supplies the evil now existing in college circles of squandering huge sums of money on sport. This practice has reached the point where college heads are now taking action for fear that modern athletics will disrupt the students' scholastic duties.
