STORAGE PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Football Jerseys to Have Numbers Front and Back \Vhen Northwestern university's football team takes the field next fall the players · will be attired in jerseys with numbers on the front as well as the back, according to Coach Dick Hanley. The Purple leader believes this innovation will be greeted warmly by the fans since it will be easier for them to identify the ball carrier. The numbers will be twenty inches in height. "Both officials and fans will be benefited by the plan," Coach Hanley declared. "In the past it often has been 1 impossible to determine who is carrying the ball when the player is running toward the stand. Frequently the · player is tackled and takes his position back in the formation before the fan is able to get a glimpse of the number on his back." Coach Hanley plans to give the system a test in the annual spring grid game between two picked elevens next Saturday. The game will wind up the spring football practice which ~as been underway t_h_e last six weeks Try a New ELECTRIC (LEANE~ in Your Own Home Right now, when homes want fresheoiog for spring, eomes this un1181181 offer to help you clean easlly, thoroughly, by eleetrie cleaner.

Purple Track Team to Vie for Drake Honors ' Northwestern's track team, with two potential first-place winners, will compete in the Drake relays to be held at DesMoines, Ia., this Saturday. The two boys expected to capture their events for the Purple are Tom Warne in the pole vault and Bill Portmess in the broad jump. They have ·won all of their events in the spring relays and are heavy favorites to repeat. At the Kansas relays last weekend, Portmess took the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet 7 1-8 inches, and Warne tied with Otterness of Minnesota to set up a new carnival mark uf 13 feet 4 3-4 inches in the pole vault. A downpour stopped the contest at that height. Coach Frank Hill will enter the same relay team in the Drake relays as competed at Kansas last week, and will put Justin Dart in the hammer event and McLean Brown in the javelin throw.
