Description:	74THE NORMAL ADVANCEcause of hostile feeling existing between thestudents of the tAvo schools. But it seems thatthis feeling of antagonism has disappeared andwe hope that it is gone forevTer. Credit mustbe given to Rose for taking the initiative inthis action, but the enthusiasm shown byNormalites when the proposition was put tothem, shows that we are not lacking in theleast in sportsmanship. The move also has theapproval of some of the faculty as was evidenced by the talks of Professors Westphal,Breitweiser and Sandison at the mass meeting.The resumption of athletic relations will be ofadvantage to both schools, and, particularly, ina financial way. This also assures tAvo morestrong games to the already hard schedule. I.U. has asked for a date, but the terms offeredby the management of the I. U. team Avere suchthat we could not afford to make the trip without financial loss.The schedule as arranged by Manager Kochis as follows:Dec. 4—Merom at Terre Haute.Dec. 11—Central Normal at Terre Haute.Dec. 17—Middletown Independents at TerreHaute.Dec. 18—I.

The downstate team registeredonly one field goal during the game the otherpoints came by the foul goal route.Normal, notwithstanding the fact that thiswas the first game of the year, put up a splendid article of ball. The boys Avere a little slowin getting their stride, especially as several newplayers were in the lineup during the first period, but when the nervousness had worn offthe goals began to come fast.Near the end of the first period Leech wassent in to replace Swanigan at forward.
