D. Gish, acting director of athletics at the unlvcr- si 1 Superintendents of schools and coaches, many of whom were to the one central plan last January, have expressed themselves as more than pleased xvlth the success of the big tournament, declaring It to be of benefit not only to the athletes In attendance, but also to athletics In general out In the Trip Enjoyed by Boys.

E. Swan.son came into the Western league from Cedar liaplds, where he hit .292 last season.

Swanson will furnish plenty of competition for contenders for the second sack position. In hitting practice ho takes a clcasi out at the ball and stands will at the plate.
