ATHLETIC BOARD MEET-
ING
Patia Bills and Attempts to Get
tIhins. Started for Next Year.
The athletic board held a very inter-
esting and prolonged meeting last even-

treasury between $i,ooo and $a,ooo.

By oversight or otherwise Teetzel was
not taken to Chicago with the team.
The board feeling that this was an in-
justice voted to refund him the amount
of his ticket. He was injured by a
sprained ankle while trying for the
team early in the season. Even after
that he came out and played in several
of the important games until he was,
