C. made t w o, two and a half, and one and a half yards respectively and then fumbled, Strand, however, securing the ball. M. A.

C. crowd took the south side of the field and Alma the north. T he rooters on both sides cheered the respective teams with yells and songs adapted especially for the occasion. A l ma clearly played better ball than M. A. C. except in the kicking department. M. A. C. feels very much the loss of Smith at half, though desiring to take no credit from Alma for her victory. Alma now claims the college champion ship of Michigan this will be disputed by some of the other college teams, who consider that the title is not clear. T he line u p: M. A. C. though ALMA.

Thursday evening prayer was conducted by E. F. Smith. Sub ject: "A Noble Purpose." "Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat and drink." If the young men and women of our fair country would only become Daniel-like in their determination not to defile themselves with the mean, low, unholy, impure things of this world, our country would shine like the bright and morning star in his beauty. Sunday morning chapel services were conducted by Dr. W. G. H u b bard. T h e m e, "Universal Peace." T he principles which Jesus taught two thousand years ago have just begun to demand a world-wide rec ognition, and the World's Confer ence at the H a g ue is the first practi cal outgrowth of that great lesson Jesus taught on the Judean moun tain so many years ago, let us have peace, that peace which the world cannot give. T he Sunday evening meeting of the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. was conducted by Prof. J. A. Jeffery. T h e m e, " T he debt we owe Jesus Christ, and how we may best dis charge that debt."
