This is, evidently, very much Presi dent Harper's idea. schools for THE FOOTBALL TEAM. T he prospects for a winning foot team at M. A. C. are much ball last. A brighter this season team good many of last year's first and " s c r u b s" are back, and being familiar with the formations, much better progress has been made than in the first week of last year. than No hard scrimmages have as yet taken place. T he work has been more rudimentary, such as tackling, running back punts, falling on the ball, and signal practice. T he material, although for the most part new and green, is heavy and will take some time to develop. W h at has been long needed, a good heavy, strong " s c r u b" eleven has at last been secured and many of them give promise of making some of the old men work for their posi tions. A m o ng the new men who are making the strongest bids for first team honors are Burrington, of Lan sing high school, and Cortright, of Hillsdale college, for ends; Don Childs for quarter; A g n e w, of Al bion college, at full back, and Wat son, of Alma, at either guard or center. Of last year's second eleven Decker at center, and Smith at left half show considerable improvement last year. At over their work of tackles we are represented the same as last year with Kratz and Peters. Harold Childs at right half, and Meek at right, with either M c D e r. mid, Bell or Watson at left guard makes up a team with an average much heavier than last. W i th an eleven game schedule to play, it necessarily means hard work the team. T h e re is only one for way to work hard, and that is for the student body to give it their undivided support. to get a team is It is a good thing to show your enthusiasm after a game is won but team would appreciate your the cheers more after a game lost. T h ey do not need to be carried from the gridiron on the shoulders of the shouting crowd after a victory but do deserve a good hearty cheer after a defeat. N o t h i ng discourages a team so much as after a defeat to have their supporters rush from the field without so much as a cheer to spur them on to further trials. Another way to support the team is a good attendance at practice. Let them know you have an interest in them and their work. B ut do not allow your enthusiasm to over step your judgment. Do not flock onto the field and crowd around the team, leaving a space of some three or four rods square for two teams to work in. During a game all can see from the side lines and it is just as reason able to ask that all keep on the side lines during practice. Give the team the hearty support of the whole College, show them you are interested in them, stand by them in defeat as well as in victory and they will do all in their power to make the foot ball season of 1902 the most successful in the history of M. A. C. Carl Williams is now head foot ball coach at the University of Penn sylvania. Y. M. C. A. NEWS. T he Thursday evening prayer meeting, led by M r. W. M. Brown, was well attended and a success in every way ; the spirit manifest was excellent and a number of old as well as new men decided to live the Christ life. T he Y. M. C. A. reception for new men, Friday evening, was well attended, and the addresses given by Prof. C. D. Smith, Dr. Waterman and the State student secretary, Mr. Hurrey, were appreciated by all full present. T he addresses were of excellent advice and suggestions. T he evening was largely spent in getting acquainted with the new men. living importance of T he meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Sunday evening was a success. M r. H u r r e y, state student secretary for the Y. M. C. A ., addressed the stu dent body of both old and new men the on the higher, nobler life in Christ Jesus. " M an is the arbitrator of his own destiny; he must choose the life he will live. T he question that con- corns us most is to determine wheth er it is the best thing we can do for ourselves and the world. This is easily determined in the affirmative, for bv studying the world's truly great men and women we discover that the principles which guided them in building their char acters are those truths which Jesus Christ lived and taught, and are the only sure guarantees of a beautiful, useful and unselfish life. the lives of to famous there would be W h en the Christ life is thoroughly engrafted into our lives, then we are live completely, as Dr. fitted psychologist, White—the If all students could be styles it. made to see the vital importance of settling this, greatest of all life ques tions early, fewer lives rHincd, morally speaking, than there are today. As a man goes through College so he will remain through life, for a careful study of the question reveals the fact that only one man in nineteen ever changes life principles, morally, after his leaving college. This being true, how vitally necessary it is that we make a right decision early in our college career. EXCHANGES.

ABOUT THE CAMPUS. George H. R a e, '05m,, met with a painful accident the latter part of last week.

Mr. Locke, instructor in mathe matics in the College last year, has written recently to M. A. C. friends. His address is 312 Green Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. He writes that he is enjoying his work very much. Prof. J. B. Dandeno and family are located at 904 Michigan avenue, Lansing, Michigan.

T he large cars on the College line do not seem to fulfill expecta tions as they are taken out of ser vice from day to day of late for re inconvenience and pairs.

T he first game of the season will be with Notre Dame at Notre Dame next Saturday afternoon. No mention has been made so far of the annual excursions to the this year. As nearly as College fully can be estimated there were seven thousand five hundred visitors here during excursion week. Every thing considered, this year's excur sions surpassed all previous records.

T h e re are about three hundred and twenty-five new students regis tered at the present time of which number one hundred are girls. All this the dormitories are crowded year, especially the dormitory for women. T he increase of students this year is not abnormal but is simply steady indicative of growth of the College. T he erec tion of new dormitories in the near future would seem to be a necessity. the Dr. Beal, Prof. Bogue and M r. C. E. Walter, M. A. C. photo grapher, made a trip into northern Michigan late in the summer and secured about seventy fine photo graphs of forest trees, the greater number of photographs being taken trees. These of pine and hemlock views included photographs of about a dozen of trees which Dr. Beal planted on the Jack Pine plains where they have grown for fifteen summers. Prof. Bogue with the aid of Dr. Beal made notes with reference to what might be done in forestry experimentation. STATE FAIR.
