Description:	THE NORMAL ADVANCE181StijlettcsTHE basketball season officially closed with the presentation of the letters to the winning men. The following men were awarded Ns by the athletic board: Knauth, Stiffler, Schenck, Wann, Royer, and Manager Wright. Schafer, Carlyle, and Shriner, were given I. S. N. monograms for their work on the squad.The bad weather has prevented much out¬ side work in baseball, but with practically all of the old team back it will not be so very difficult to quickly select the teams for practice work. A number of very promising recruits have shown up at the practice held in the gymnasium and there will be a warm fight for several of the places on the team.The recommendations made to the Board of Trustees for the improvement of Parsons Field have been allowed and several changes will benoticed at the opening of the field to the first game. Hydrants will be installed for sprinkl¬ ing the grass, new netting placed on the grand stand, and the diamond filled and smoothed. The athletic board is desirous as never before that this school shall, during this season, pro¬ duce a baseball team that will land the second¬ ary championship and place the Indiana State Normal School well at the head of Indiana schools in athletics as well as in scholarship. With this plan in view a motion was passed authorizing the hiring of a special baseball coach having professional training, but the ac¬ tion was opposed by the physical director, and proceedings were deferred until a more favor¬ able time.The membership of the Athletic Association is increasing slowly, and again it is urged that each and every student pay his fee and become a member of the association.Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is the triumph of en¬ thusiasm.—Emerson.
