Show CATHLETIC COUNCIL aNDER the leadership of Professor Walter A. Kerr, chairman, the Athletic Council, which exercises general supervision over all athletic activities, has this year passed on a number of things which have led to the betterment of athletics. Chief among the athletic improvements is the commencement of the stadium. Plans were drawn up and recommended, officials were won over, the cooperation of alumni and business men was secured, all of which represents a tremendous amount of work. The field of competition for Utah athletes has been greatly widened through the activities of the Council, a football game with the University of Hawaii being negotiated and two relay teams, a distance runner and a weight man being sent to the Drake Relays at Des Moines. Utah's fame has spread so under the guidance of the Council that Northwestern University, Big Ten football champion, has asked for a game, which will be played at Chicago next fall. The membership of the Council this year consists of Walter A. Kerr, faculty appointee and chairman; Thomas Hull, the Bursar of the student funds; Dr. H. L. Marshall, Head of the Department of Physical Education and secretary; Professor R. B. Ketchum, faculty member elected by the students; Ike J. Armstrong, coach; Roscoe Miller, alumni member; and Jack Howells and Stanley Murphy, student representatives. Cal Boberg, graduate athletic manager, acted as business manager.
