T he rooters along the side lines were splashed to their knees with the clayey soil and were soaked to the skin with rain, but none minded such slight discomforts; for it was an M. A.

It , was an orderly and good- natured crowd that pulled out from the Lake Shore depot at 10:30 Sat extra urday coaches had been chartered and they were all needed, since the round-trip fare of seventy-five cents had made it possible for a large number to accompany the team from Lansing. Enthusiasm was worked up by the various yells, which were rehearsed with Driskel, Francisco and Phil lips as yell-masters. T he " W ho can? We can. W h at can? Can, can; We Rubes can." through, told every village passed that something had been "turned loose" and it likewise proved pro phetic of the afternoon's results. forced Albion was reached at 11:35 a n o- at that time the rain was pouring down harder than ever. T he main hotel, where the team put up, was so crowded that many of the M. A. C.'s people were to resort to little restaurants on side streets, no provision having been made by the town for the crowd, as so large a delegation had not been expected. At 1145 p. m., the crowd began to assemble at the ball grounds. T he M. A. C. rooters, who outnumbered Albion's, lined up on the north side of the field and made themselves as comfortable as possible on the has and tily provided barrels, planks benches. At 2 p. m. the Albion eleven came onto the field and were cheered by their friends, who occupied the few minutes south later M. A. C.'s eleven came onto the field and were cheered to the echo by the delegation on the north side-lines. side-line. A M. A. C's eleven looked but snappier than Albion's. lighter FIRST HALF. At 2:15, after a short practice by both teams in running signals, um pire Fitzgerald blew the whistle, and, M. A.

C's by a circling run toward the right side of Albion's line carried the ball back fifteen'yards. M. A.

Gains of three yds. two and through the right side of Albion's the line and one plunge through center for seven yds. brought the ball to Albion's thirty-five yd. line, where M. A. C. fumbled, Blanchard, however, securing the ball. On the next play Childs punted and Albion took the ball. In two plays, Albion gained two then and one-half yds. and were given ten yds. because of an offside play by M. A. C. Albion succeeded in half and tackle, and in boxing made a few fifteen-yd. gain. A the short gains by Albion brought ball to M. A. C.'s twenty-yd. line, where M. A. C. held for downs. T a k i ng the ball on their twenty- yd. line, M. A. C, in three plays made gains of eight, three, and four yds. respectively and were then held by Albion for downs. Albion took the ball in this game of see-saw on M. A. C.'s thirty-five- three yd. line and after a gain of yds. were given ten yds. by reason of M. A. C.'s offside play. After making some gains, M. A. C. took the ball on downs and worked it back for slight gains when time was called with the ball in M. A. C.'s possession and on their twenty- five- yd. line. Albion could not gain by SECOND HALF.

Childs could not kick the slippery ball over the bar and the final score remained, M. A. C. 11, Albion o. With but a few minutes to play through A'bion kicked off to M. A. C. After it had changed hands several took the ball on times, M. A. C. their 30-yd line and worked it back by good gains to their 40-yd. line, when time was called. At no stage of the game was time taken out because of injuries to M. A. C. men, which fact goes to prove their remarkably good physi cal condition. M. A. C.'s line held like a stone wall and no gains were made it. Blanchard de serves great credit for his excellent head-work in running the game, no fumbles being chalked up either against him or Shedd. Ricamore, at his new position at full, did re markably well, and Meek in his first regular game played like a veteran. M. A. C. gained almost at will through the line and around the end by tackle back formation, Brainerd, the Peters and Kratz puncturing line for gains of from one to six yards. Albion made its gains prin cipally by quarter-back kicks and trick plays and was never seriously "in the h u n t" at all. W h en the game was over, M. A. C. proceeded to acquaint the town with the result, but it was a disap pointed and forlorn-looking crowd that filed away from the south side lines, vaguely wondering how it all had happened. T he M.

T he poorest economy that a student can plan for himself or herself is to stint himself in solid food to feed brain and blood.

This pro duction of sugar for consumption is a fatal blow to the monopoly of the If we can produce in sugar trust. the factory refined sugar in sufficient quantity to supply our people, the refiners' occupation is gone!

This reduction of more than 31 per cent, in the price of granulated sugar is surprising, but it is a blow at an in nocent rival, and not a concession to the general consumer. If the rival is crushed the old prices will be again imposed." After showing from the organ of the sugar to usurp the right to refine sugar, the Doctor sums up his case as follows: their design refiners Why the Industry Should Prosper. " 2. It " 1.

Kedzie makes the point that it is impossible to form a trust in the beet sugar business; but we hardly think he has maintained his thesis. In fact, the entire beet sugar industry thus far has been to all in tents and purposes in accordance trust methods." We are in with terested to see the Doctor's reply to this last point. A comparison with the growth of the oil industry would be instructive. H. E. Seniors' Trip to Monroe.
