Athletic Board's Decision . The athletic board has tried through- out the country to secure blankets of the necessary quality, but, upon dis- covering that none better than . army blankets could be obtained, decided that it would be better to wait until -the right kind ofjblankets were avail- able. In case they can be secured this summer, they will be sent to the min who are to receive them.- Reports from other schools, which follow this custom, show that they have experienced the same difficulty in obtaining blankets.
