Since that the time his teams have carried off by far greater share of M. I. A. A. honors in all the only regular member sports and he was of. the athletic staff. His football' teams have given M. A.

Young's qualifications for the position were outlined by both Stagg, of Chicago, and Yost, of Michigan, as well as many of the lesser lights in the college athletic world. Young will take the place left vacant by C. L.

SQUAD'S SPIRIT Dear McCarthy: After seeing the Aggie-Notre Dame game here the other night and meeting the Aggie players I couldn't help but write someone at M. A. C. a letter of congratulation, and one of the players mentioned your name so that is why I am writing you. The showing of the Aggies here the other night has certainly won them a great deal of respect from local basketball fans. That team, every one of them, battled' like wild men to win that game and the fact that they were up against a strong club—winners over Iowa —seemed to make them fight all the harder. The manner in which Coach Walker switched his lineup and substituted men did, in my opinion, have a great deal to do with the out come of the contest. I have always had a great deal of respect for M. A. C. and when at Wabash college last spring had the privilege of playing against the baseball club. - No matter how many basketball games you have lost this year, or how many you may lose the remainder of the season, that victory here the other night is worth crowing about.

C. RECORD VIEWS AND COMMENT in a man Through the recent appointment of Ralph H. Young as director of athletics, succeeding to the. post left vacant by the resignation of C. L. Brewer, there is again definite charge of shaping the athletic future of M. A. C. Under his guidance will be the entire scope of policies of the department which has grown by great strides during five years. He will have trained assistants and will have direct control over all questions per taining to his department following the gen eral policies outlined by the Board in Control of Athletics. Above all the centralized power in the athletic department will rest in his hands and through his efforts the fortunes of M. A. C. on the athletic field will be determined. the past Young comes to M. A. C. with a record of achievement second to none in the annals of: intercollegiate athletics in Michigan. He will bring to bear not only the qualifications of an expert coach but also a personality which has won warm friends for him in the community. He has been active in academic as well as athletic lines at Kalamazoo and has kept closely in touch with class room work. It is apparent from his record and the at testations received regarding his character and accomplishments that M. A. C. is making a de-! cided acquisition to its staff in engaging Young as athletic director. this We are printing in another column of issue a letter from A. C. Burnham, '93, ask ing why we do nut give more prominence to the engineering department of the college .and why there is so little news of engineers in T HE RECORD. This is an old question, the subject of much discussion. The truth of the matter is that agricultural students seem to have a better aptitude for publicity than do many of the agricultural depart the engineers. Also ment is always, because of its work, in closer touch with the general public than is the engineering division. T HE RECORD is published by the M. A. C. association interests of all M. A.

A that engineers, ags, the nature of the fact in the in those the welfare of things which are most interested affecting their alma mater. There could be no selfish reason for slighting- one class of graduates at the expense of any other. The graduate thinks first of his col lege and then of his division. There are no lines of demarcation between alumni of the various parts of the college. All are alumni alike. Engineers are doing fully as important work as the agricultural graduates but as a rule it is less spectacular and attracts less gen eral attention. Public interest determines the news value of-an item in the daily newspaper, and it is through the fact that they are more generally before the public that the graduates of the most publicity. Engineers as a rule are more deep ly interested in the particular problems at hand than in making their exploits known, that ;s modesty but it reduces the value of a publi cation like T HE RECORD when all its readers are not also more or less interested in seeing they are that doing. the agricultural courses receive their fellow man knows what to aid One of the distinctive features of the pres ent campaign for the Union Memorial building is the willingness which the alumni are fund showing in canvassing the committee the territory in and around the various cities. for In Lansing ten automobiles were offered the use of the the solicitors, in Flint about same number were available during the week- Stewart and Miller were in that city and in Grand Rapids a hearty response* was given to It the call for transportation and guides. is that only through.the cooperation of alumni is a com the goal will be reached and mentary on M.

RECORD BASKETBALL TEAM BASEBALL PROSPECTS ELECTS EVA CAPTAIN UNUSUALLY BRIGHT to After defeating Notre Dame on the South Bend floor Coach Walker's men met opposition of all kinds at Cleveland and dropped a 37 to 18 game their opponents. Then Oherlin furnished various kinds of opposition which netted that team a 23 to 16 victor^. One of the obstacles which proved insuperable for the Big Green basketeers was a system of referee- irig which met them at every turn in their last game of the season and was the direct cause of the new basketball their defeat. Apparently in Ohio rules are interpreted much differently than they are in Michigan fouls were called on Captain Fessenden's combination for what the M. A. C. men believed to be legal methods of advancing the ball. for to locate they were unable At St. Ignatius a small court handicapped the Green and White stars to such an extent that the baskets with their customary accuracy and lost many chances to score. It is also believed that the hard won victory over Notre Dame took more out of the men than they could regain in the short time they had to recuperate before meet ing the Cleveland tarn. The lineup with McMillan and Nuttila at forward, Rob inson, center and Eva and Fessenden guards bore the brunt of all the battles away from home. regular After the game. the final game of the season W. H. Eva, '24, playing his first year on the varsity, was unanimously elected captain of the team for 1923-24. Eva has been the most consist ent player on the team and has an extensive knowledge of squad which developed so rapidly under the coach ing of Fred Walker during the past season there will be a large proportion of the players available another year. Nuttila and McMil lan, star forwards, Robinson center and Eva and Hultman guards will give any team stiff the fresh opposition while the material from man squad should add to the interest in the season. From the the greenest When Notre Dame appeared at the gym nasium last December it met and defeated by a one-sided score one of teams M. A. C. has ever presented, when Walker took his men to South Bend they fought the Hoosiers off their feet and exhibited a cham pionship brand of basketball. The difference in these two gamesk is indicative of the prog ress the squad made during the season. The next year holds excellent promise. '13 will reune and congratulate Valiant supporters of the colors of the class themselves of upon completing ten years of life away from the campus after spending perilous days at East Lansing. This is the biggest date on the '13 calendar thus far.

RECORD BUTTERFIELD OBJECTS TO CUTTING ELMS I. H. Butterfield, former member of the state board and for six years secretary of the college, objects to the idea advanced by resi dents of East Lansing that one row of the elms along Grand River avenue be removed to allow for widening the highway. Mr. But terfield, however, does not correctly quote T HE RECORD for the article referred to did not mention the highway commissioner as making the proposal and no official action was taken by the officers of the city government but the proposal was made at a meeting in East Lan sing and considerable space was given to the discussion in the local press. Mr. Butterfield's letter follows: Editor of T HE RECORD : I notice in a recent number of T HE RECJRD that the highway commissioner proposes the removal of one row of the fine elms that bor der the highway on the north side of the col lege grounds. It certainly would be a ca lamity and I do not believe that it is neces sary and I hope that the proposition may be defeated; not only because those trees add so much to the beauty of the highway and are a fine border to the college grounds. They are also a memorial to the Hon. Franklin Wells, who for thirty years gave so much time and energy the Board of Agriculture. the college as a member of to Mr. Wells was responsible for having that double row of elms planted and they should be retained as a monument to his memory. .
