N o. 11 THANKSGIVING MILITARY. in T he T h a n k s g i v i ng military took last Wednesday, N o v. 23. place T he armory was draped flags and bunting. T he corners were artistically arranged with screens, and around the orchestra's platform were palms and chrysanthemums. T he music, which was furnished by the Germania orchestra of Battle Creek, was exceptionally fine and 12 o'clock came all too soon for the merry dancers. T he attendance was large, there being something like a hundred and twenty-five or thirty couples pres ent. Besides the large number of students there were many alumni and people from Lansing. A m o ng the senior the old students were captains, N. B. Horton, '02 ; H. O. F a r g o, '03, and M. W. Taber, '04, and several other officers of former years. More uniforms than usual were in evidence. T h is added decidedly to the beauty of the hop, for a mil itary where soldiers are in the ma jority, as was the case at some of the dances last year, is not worthy of the name. We must congratulate the officers on their success, and say to the chaperons, Pres. and M r s. J. L. Snyder, Prof, and M r s. A. R. Sawyer, that we hope it will be the good fortune of the students to at tend many more such militaries under their patronage. M. A. C. 58—KAZOO 0. Shortly before ten o'clock on Thanksgiving morning the M. A. C. rooters swung into line behind the College band and marched 10 the college athletic field to witness the last intercollegiate game of the season. T he above score tells the story, for while the Kazoo boys played pluckily, they were unable to withstand the rushes of M. A. C. who nearly always gained at will when the ball was in their hands. Only once were the visitors within the goal and striking distance of then their attempted place kick was cleverly blocked by Holdsworth. Several times, however, one of their number would break away from the mass for a gain only to be stopped by Small who was there for that purpose, and w ho served that pur pose to a T, never allowing his man to escape. Capt. Giddings, Strate- meyer, Moore and Phelps all played good ball for the visitors, P h e l ps running back the ball from the kick off in splendid shape which showed his skill at dodging. He also did stopping very several times what would have been a long gain for M. A. C. tackling, clever Kalamazoo kicked off to Bell, w ho returned the ball 10 yard", and was obliged to take out time for a wrenched knee. In two minutes of play M. A. C. had pushed Doty over for a touchdown. M c K e n na now kicked to Post, who returned it 12 yards. Kazoo was unable to make her gains and punted to M c K e n n a, who returned it 15 yards. At the first play Mc-' Kenna made 15 yards more, and four Holdsworth added 5 more, shaking tackles. H a hn was then off given the ball and went over for the next five points. M. A. C. was sev eral times penalized for offside plays and for holding, but it seemed an easy proposition for them to make up their losses, and the first half closed with a score of 35 to o. In the opening of the second half Kazoo did some good work and the start-off was quite interesting Mc Kenna kicked 45 yards to Giddings who returned the ball 15 yards. By a series of tackle back plays, Strate- meyer and A r n dt made gains of 25 the and 15 yards which brought ball to M. A. C.'s 15-yard lire. T he visitors now for a place formed kick, but by quick charging on'the part of M. A. C. the kick was blocked by Holdsworth. On an exchange of fumbles M. A. C. secured the ball and by fast playing shoved M c K e n na over for a touch down. Kalamazoo fought hard in the second half and several times it looked as though she would reach the coveted goal, but M. A. C. would brace and hold her for downs before striking distance was reached. H a hn made some excellent runs and the man with the ball was given the general h e 'p which has so characterized M. A. C.'s work this fall. T he line-up : M. A. C. Kalamazoo. Holdsworth Bell (Capt.)

At 8130 T h u r s d ay morning a and goodly number of students members of the faculty gathered at the chapel special service. T he pro Thanksgiving gram was of a rather informal nature but seemed to be enjoyed by all. for a short Miss Keeney presided at piano. As an opening "God of our F a t h e r s" was sung. the selection T he President read the one hun seventh psalm and offered dred prayer. T h is was followed by short talks by M r. McAlpin, Professor Holds- worth, and Professor Jeffery on the general I Am theme Thankful F o r ." " T h i n gs M r. McAlpine spoke from the standpoint of the student. He was thankful first, for knowledge — not the knowledge of books merely, but for the knowledge of things and of God and of self, all of which inspired to better manhood and womanhood. He was thankful for opportuni'y, which he believed was limited only by the person's ambitions and t fforts. Professor Holdsworth was thank ful for so glorious a country as ours, and he expressed the opinion that next to being born a citizen of the Uniti d States, the best thing was to be a citizen by adoption. He was thankful for freedom from the slav ery of sin or of some blasting habit, and il'ustrated his thought by de scribing a poor wretch whom he saw on the streets of London, and who gave evidence of once being a man of intelligence and of culture. for the Lastly, he was thankful bright sunshine and the pure air and all the other blessings of nature which God had provided for our enjoyment. thankful they are T he last speaker indicated some of t> e ways in which the spirit of thankfulness is manifested. W i th some no amount of labor, no trial, no misfortune, is so great that it might not have been greater. T h e re are people who believe in the pesti lence that walketh in darkness and in the arrow tl at flieth at noonday, but who lie down at night and rise again in the moaning with no fi ar them, that either will come nigh and this preservation. He then called atten tion to some of the blessings which and which we could are ours scarcely enjoy under any previous dispensation or in any other country. T he President told of a conversa tion had with the principal of the school which Edinborough high showed very forcibly h ow great are the opportunities of the poor young people of this country as compared with to This was acquire an education. given as another reason for thank fulness. those of other countries for T he meeting closed with the sing ing of the doxology.

Sorry we did change not have enough to go around. It was an interesting number. DEATH OF MR. BURDETTE. V e ry seldom does the death of a student comparatively unknown to the student body cause such a sorrow as did the death of J o hn W. Bur- dette. M r. Burdette was a me chanical freshman and entered last frcm Berea, K y. He September was 23 years of age, strong in body, mind, and character. He was a member of the second foot ball team, and while playing a practice game with the first team one week ago last Wednesday evening he received a b u mp on the left side. v This was so slight that he did not stop play ing and the coach and team were not aware that he had been injured. He ate supper, and attended Y. M. C. A. meeting before going to his room. About ten o'clock that night he was taken with very severe p ins through the abdomen. Dr. Bruegel was called a;id gave him some relief. He had pains at times but was about his room and did not anticipate anything serious. On Saturday he went to the college hospital. W h i 'e sitting in a chair reading on Monday evening he was seized with most excruciating pa ns. Dr. Bruegel was sent for and he immedi tely called in D r. Haze. T h ey feared the trouble w as serious. 1 he next morning Dr. A. D. Hagadorn was also called in consul tation. T he symptoms seemed to indicate an internal rupture. Dr. Darling, the noted surgeon of A nn for, and Arbor, was telephoned arrived in a few hours. It was then decided that an operation should be performed as speedily as possible. Mr. Burdette was removed at once to the city hospital, where there were better facilities for operating. T he operation revealed the fact that the spleen was badly ruptured, and that very great hemorrhage had taken place. T he patient, while very weak, rallied from the shock, and it was thought for a day or t wo that he had a fair chance to recover, but complications set in and he passed away very peacefully Fri day afternoon. His parents, a brother, two sisters and a brother-in-law were present during the last two days of his ill ness. He was courageous and hope ful, but realizing on Friday morn ing the inevitable result, he gave words of affection and parting to each of the family present and sent messages of love to those at home. On Saturday morning the remains were taken to his home in Ken tucky. T he Freshman class and a number of other students served as an escort to the station. T he Col umbian Literary Society of which the deceased was a member sent Mr. Tosh, his roommate and also from Berea, with the funeral party. Beautiful floral emblems were pre sented by the College, his class, his society and the Athletic Associa tion. Memorial exercises were held by the Y. M. C. A. on Sunday evening. T he services in memory of M r. Burdette began with the hymn " J e s us Savior, Pilot me," followed by a prayer by M r. Gunson. T he quartette long.
