C. for 1902 closed with the Hills dale game. It is fitting just at this time to review the present season and to glance at the record of last year. a It may cause surprise to some to be told that M. A. C. has played two seasons without once being de this success has been feated, and achieved, too, without special coach and with no adequate gymna sium facilities. During this time, as a reference to the games played will show, some of the strongest college teams in the State have been met and defeated, besides strong teams representing various athletic organ to izations. say that such success should not pass unnoticed and consequently a brief mention is given of the individual players. It is hardly necessary and the offensive J a m es Cooper, captain, is perhaps the steadiest player on the team besides being a strong player both on defensive. One of the characteristics which particularly distinguishes him is the throwing of baskets from scrim mages. to his strong qualities as a player in the game, he is almost absolutely the throwing of goals from fouls. In addition sure in Edward Balbach, center, is the most spectacular player on the team and from some points of view is per haps the equal of any player in the country. His height, reach, and agility combine to make him well- nigh invincible in a game, and in passing the ball and in getting away from an opponent he has few equals. Joseph Haftenkamp, forward, is a close second to Balbach. His height and reach give him a natural advantage, and in addition to these qualifications as a good player he possesses an accurate knowledge of the game and quickness in seizing throwing. an opportunity for goal Charles M. Blanchard and R ay R. Tower, backs, while having less spectacular to make opportunity plays than the other members of the team, nevertheless add material strength to the team by reason of reliability. their thrower T o w er is a very sure goal from an open field and Blanchard exceptionally strong on defensive work. steadiness and H. F. Tuttle and W. E. M o r g a n, in some of the who have played games this year have done good work and are men of much promise. Tuttle, especially, has a thorough knowledge of all the fine points of the game, hailing, as he does, from a basket ball country. M. A. C. has a basket ball team to be proud of. Its success is due to its brilliant individual players and team work. W i th its remarkable all of the present team in College next year, there is no reason to be lieve that M. A. C. need fe,ar any team in this region of the country. A record of games for the past two seasons is given below: 1901. M. A. C. 2 i, M. A. C. 17, M. A.

Mosquitoes. interest T he discovery of the fact that malaria is transmitted from man to man by mosquitoes, has awakened an unprecedented in the manner of life and general economy of these interesting little pests. T he last three or four years has almost revolutionized our ideas in regard to the transmission of malaria, yellow fever and some other diseases, and the fact that the causative parasite of malaria passes one of its stages in the body of mosquitoes of the genus anopheles, has served to show that the little musician is more than a nuisance; that she is a positive menace to good health, or any kind less than a day and let the young larvae or wrigglers down into their temporary home. H e re the little fellows dance and wriggle about, feeding on minute particles of vege table and animal growth, and breath ing through a fine tube at the end of the tail. This stage is said by Dr. Howard to occupy a minimum of seven days in hot summer weather. From the wriggler stage they pass into the pupal stage at which time they are shorter, thicker, larger and they breathe still active. N ow through a pair of funnel-shaped tubes that come out at the shoulders. T he minimum duration of time in this stage is about two days. All these periods may be prolonged very materially by cold weather. T he number that can breed in a limited space is something amazing. Some years ago, the writer, under instructions from the state etomolo- gist of Minnesota, estimated the number of eggs, larvaj and pupce in a rain barrel by straining them out then counting and weighing, and 1 II'] IHKn ^^^H B^^^r ^ H^ fit f^JNf^l W&k ^WlBfe . v- ^B b t e * ^' fclfc;," M.

O ne of the lecturers it em ploys is Prof. P. B. Woodworth, In the issue of March 1, a cut '84. of Prof. Woodworth is presented the following account of his and lecture. " H ow to save coal bills by the judicious use of a little water in the home was one of the numerous practical suggestions for household economy and care of the health that were given to those w ho heard the lecture on ' T he Climate and the People,' by Philip B. W o o d w o r t h, professor of electrical engineering at Lewis institute, before an audience of 400 at the Washington school, North Morgan and West Erie streets. T he saving in coal bills which he explains in his lecture mav be accomplished by keeping suffi cient humidity in the indoor atmos phere. Dry air effects rapid evapo ration of the moisture of the lungs, which results in If a per son is to be comfortably warm in a dry room, Prof. Woodworth says, it is necessary that the temperature be from 10 to 15 degrees higher than he would require if there were suffi cient moisture in the air he breathes. A saturation of 50 per cent, is a good amount of moisture. Heating engineers who have taken careful observations know that it takes 25 per cent, of the fuel burned in cold weather to put on the last 15 per cent, of the saturation necessary to keep the tenants comfortably warm without the addition of more moisture to the air. Additional moisture in the heated air will save 25 per cent. of a coal bill, Prof. Woodworth asserts. H ow affects various races of man, and men in various portions of the same country the climate < colds.' is shown in the lecture, from results obtained by comparison of govern ment statistics of various nations. T he lecture is illustrated with charts and drawings, which serve to simp lify the statistical portions." T he candidates for the baseball team have taken advantage of the fine weather the past week to get outdoor practice. Some of the faculty are planning to attend the meetings of the Mich igan Schoolmasters' Club, and the of Science, Michigan Academy which meetings are to be held at A nn Arbor during the spring vaca tion. Miss Blunt is to read a paper before the Schoolmasters' Club on the teaching of German. A very interesting game of bas ket ball was played last Saturday between two teams of girls picked from teams. the first and second Every effort was made to divide the teams evenly. T he Reds seemed to have a little the advantage in the first half, as their team was brilliant at the Blacks played the best game but their were unable to catch up with opponents. Misses Paddock and Miller put up the star game for their respective teams. In the second half times. It is the intention to have the Albion girls play here the first part of next term, and by the work done by some of the plavers we have every reason to believe that we may be victorious: REDS POSITION BLACKS B a s k e ts C e n t e rs P a d d o ck H o f f m e i s t er f L y nn 1 Nolan S e a r i ng \ J M i l l er B a k er ) Hadley] 1 W a t e r m a n!

T he Influence of Athletics. In the report of President Eliot, of Harvard, athletics have claimed than a greater share of attention university questions, most other statistical three full pages, with tables, being devoted to them. In closing Dr. Eliot states that here after the report of the chairman of the athletic committee will be made a part of his report. T he president tries to show by statistical table that victory or defeat in the great struggles of Harvard do not exert an immediate effect on the number of candidates who pre sent themselves for admission in the following year. In 1894, 1895 and Harvard suffered defeat and 1896, yet the number of preliminary can didates increased substantially. T he year 1899 was a year of victory, yet in the there was no increase number of admission applicants. S u m m i ng up the entire 10 years succeeding 1890, Dr. Eliot concludes that although Yale has been decid edly more in athletic successful sports than either Harvard or Prince ton, she has gained a much smaller percentage than either as far as col lege and scientific freshmen are con cerned. Tennis, the president shows, is the most popular sport at Harvard, attracting 790 men, while the other sports trail behind with the follow ing figures: R o w i n g, 640; football, baseball, 220; track, 146. 242; THE JEWETT & KNAPP STORE Lansing's Low Priced Reliable Store E v e ry Department full of N ew S p r i ng a nd S u m m er Goods.
