T h is game, as the indicate, was much score would than the one-sk'ed more interesting contest which preceded it. Both teams played good ball and it would seem, by watching these class con tests, that M. A. C. is not likely to run out of good football material in the near future. T he juniors, near the close of the last half, rushed the ball to within two feet of the goal, but were unab'e to cross the line before time was called. T h ey put up a plucky fight, however, and the sophomores were compelled to work hard for their gains. This is the first game the jui iors have lest. T he line up was as follows : Sophomore.

O U I TE a number of our agri inter- cultural students are ' ~w ested in knowing something of the cost, etc., incident in attending the Live Stock Show at Chicago which takes place soon. Heretofore the student body has been quite well represented at this show and it is hoped that a large number may find it po-sible to go this year. F or the benefit of those desiring to go we give herewith a statement of the trip last year, and from this one can gain a fair idea of the expense and also the benefits derived from such a t r i p: " T he Senior live stock students, w ho visited the International Live Stock Exposition recently held in Chicago, arrived in the city on the morning of Monday, Nov. 29th. rooms Arrangements for securing had previously been made at a com fortable and yet comparatively inex pensive hotel, conducted on the European plan. Morning and even ing meals were secured at a nearby restaurant, notable for the excellent quality and preparation of the food supplied. T he midday meals were secured either within the exposition gates or in the vicinity. Altogether the necessary daily expenses did not exceed $1.75 per day per capita. T he special round trip rate from Lansing to Chicago during the ex position week was only $7.25. " On Monday, the morning of arrival, the party proceeded at once to the Dexter P a rk amphitheater where the show is held, and were conducted through the various de partments to get a general idea of the location of the varions classes of live-stock and the rings where they were to be judged. After this the individual partv broke up, each spending the remainder of the day alongside the ring in which he was most interest interested.

Considerable time was spent here in connection with the quality of live stock offered and the methods of selling, weigh ing, yarding, shipping, etc. Visits were also made to the sheep and swine yards.

A. C. stu It was found that very few dents. of the offences charged against us were really committed by our stu dents. A few cases were found however and the association decided to make every effort possible to r e cover the property and return it to the owners at Albion. Strong sentiment was expressed by the upper classmen against the practice of collecting " s o u v e n i r s" on such occasions and a move was made toward placing the punish ment of such offenders in the hands of the Association. T he Association objects to having its teams suffer because of the reck lessness of a few giddy students and they are preparing to handle all such cases in the future. Schools and colleges may run to extremes on athletics and sports, just as folks do on eating, reading, and other good things. Sense is necessary in this as in anything. F r om some of the screeds against football it is very apparent that more sense is needed in presenting argu ments. A favorite charge against the game is that so small a number of men is benefited by the exercise. Reference is frequently made to the "eleven" the practice. Don't these learned critics see that the high schoil would be ruled out of the school system by just such reasoning? T he first team is but the graduating class. Look at the boys practicing, trying out, work ing in the gym, all along the line to the primary.
