Included in the bulletin of the state de partment of health marking this anniver sary there were photographic copies of the commission issued to Dr. Kedzie as a mem ber of the board and the letter from Gov ernor Bagley urging that he accept.

At N o r th Carolina, with an alumni body about the size of that of M. A.

The visitors have gained a reputation for winning over the strongest college teams and the honor of gaining two falls over them was unexpected from the results of previous matches in which M. A.

Captains Kurtz and Hammes—or possibly, Hammes and Kurtz—are concealing their intentions until the last minute. However, they have issued the following joint state ment : "Remember seventeenth of March." This latter statement is a master piece of psychology. It refers neither to the general celebration of that day nor to the personage in whose name it is cele brated but rather to the victory of 1923 when the silver tops carried off the honors in the annual entanglement of student and alumni hopes. the the The Notre Dame contest brought out the same sort of spirit which has always been evident when teams of two colleges meet. The Irish had made an enviable rec ord this season and were out to add an other to their string of victories which they succeeded in doing but not without difficulty. In passing and advancing the ball critics generally gave Coach Walker's men credit for outdoing their opponents but counting field baskets from the center of the court on stray shots proved the only manner in which the M. A. C. squad could be defeated. From the first few minutes of the game the Green and White held the whip hand, keeping a few points in the lead until the very last of the second period but not without extraordinary exertion and high class team-work. The game was marked as the cleanest and best one on the schedule. The basketball season was concluded with the contests with Valparaiso and Lake Forest on the East Lansing floor last week. The varsity will make another appearance against the alumni five on March 15 but that will be its final workout of the year. "Fat" Taylor, the peerless leader, is a silent spectator to all of the fireworks this year for he has retired from active par ticipation and will watch the battle from a regular seat at which he is no amateur. He gained his reputation last March and is now known as the master of strategy and the exponent of silence. During all of his tenure of office "Fat" was never known to give out a statement. Rules governing the crowd have been issued by the state police. The co-ed life saving corps will attend in a body as a first aid unit and the college hospital will be cleared to receive patients until time for the game so all riots must be staged before the referee sounds his whistle to start the proceedings. Students recall the affair which preceded last year's game so the alumni will provide a body guard for L. Whitney Watkins and E. W. Ran- ney.
