We now have set era I ! ‘ 1 • courts, but they all belong to dubs ' ' [* 1 1 i a' ’ Lvi . and hone can be warded as common pripesty. Through the courtesy of the teachers’ dub, cadets are allott ed DO use some of the faculty courts, but Am* : is no undemanding that this prurilfge will not be withdrativn. * - At the Sam Houaton Normal, as we|l as at many other' schools and coBefgas, courts are provided on the grounds for the use of all. We be* Itate that the institution and not the sttadtats thereof bear the expense of keeping the courts in good condition. We suggest that steps he taken, * either by the students hereof by the college authorities, to provide ten or tw*lv4 good courts aear the barracks for general use. Such action would give the cadets much healthful and yffiaapt txerciae. and we believe it would do more to encoumge general athletics |than anything else that could he done.
