Expected to last a few weeks, to linger only during the passing moment of the emergency, Knisely continued to bust the ol" apple where it did most good. Bill Jackson, handling Peoria, couldn't let go of him.

Among the regulars, he ranked tenth in hitting, finishing with an .327 average for 123 games. Twenty-four doubles, four triples, and two home runs helped boost his mark.

Crew prospects for Millikin as a new sport depend altogether upon the generosity of someone who might be. willing to donate the mcney to the school, X. G. Wann, Millikin's director of athletics, advised Thursday night.

The Athletic association is 19,000 in debt, and would be unwilling to assume a greater obligation. Bports, as a paying proposition, have failed miserably in the last two In 1922, the football season was a loss, and in 1923, one basketball game! netted more than the whole football season. The added drain another sport would necessitate would be impossible to meet. The shell and the necessary equipment alone would make the addition unfeasible. The fact that Lake Decatur Is at such a distance from the university is another drawback to the proposal.

A boathouse would have to be erected, and means of transportntion for the 20 o-r more men who would be needed to form an eight and several fours, would have to be provided-Two pieces of land, on the opposite sides of the lake, would also have to be purchased. On the whole, as long as the financial condition of the Athletic association remains in Its present state, no support could be given to promote the new sport. But if some kind-hearted gentleman has about J10.000 and wishes to employ it in a useful way, the opportunity lies before him. Even the umpire gets nis spring scoring for Springfield with 12 points.
