FRESH ASSORTMENT Just how we are to fare on this~~-- trip is a question rather difficult to OW NET&-= settle. With the exception of North- Q+ 0O0LA, ; western, Illinois and Wisconsin uni- l EIs V EDT versities, it is almost inpossible to 1, TTE'M, - 48 S. State St. estimate the strength of the teams we shall meet. So far as can at present be judged, Northwestern, with her battety of Griffiths and Iedzie, will be the strongest team we shall meet. ioth Illinois and Wisconsin have good teams, how- ever, and Illinois, at least, has had the advantage of careful practice. It is difficult also to predict just how strong will be our own teas's showing. So far our team has had but practice games, and it must be confessed the playing has not been so uniform as it should have been. A ready reason for this may be found in the fact that the weather of the past month has seriously inter- fered with regularity of practice. The work of the next two days and of the first few games will have a wholesome influence upon the team and we shall expect to report a suc- cessful trip. THE "WAVERLY" WHEEL W('i t, *!
