The erection of a new fence around the park has been started and later improvements for the bleachers and stands will be made.

The entire football situation was gone into completely and all three men expressed satisfaction over the plans. Carroll will be present to aid the Red and Black.

Lewis, however, is a sturdy little customer who runs well with the ball, handles the team like a vet- cative of his prowess on the field.
