T he football team, accompanied by the band and about 200 rooters, left Lansing Saturday morning at 9 =30 by special train for Kalamazoo where another victory was added to our football list. Michigan Central gave excellent service to our crowd both going and returning. Only two stops were made going and three returning. A sufficient num ber of coaches were furnished to make the ride a pleasant one and it was a jolly crowd that went to Kazoo and, we believe, a perfectly satisfied one that returned. W h en the team arrived at Kazoo the crowd lined up, and headed by the band and team made a proces sion about two blocks long,—just to let the town know M. A. C. had arrived. After dinner the rooters again swung into line for the Kazoo gridiron where at- 2:30 the fight began. M. A. C. kicked off and Kazoo, after a few short gains, was forced to punt. M. A. C. carried the ball into Kazoo's territory, where, after they had been stopped temporarily for a few times, Doty took the ball over the line for t ie first touch down after twelve minutes of play. T he balance of the first half was hotly contested, the ball being in Kazoo's territory all the time, but fumbles on the part of M. A. C. kept our team from scoring. T he feature of this half was the long dodging runs by Kratz and the fine defensive work of the line. Kazoo was forced to punt nearly every time they had the ball. Small tried two place kicks in this half, one just dropping under the goal and the other to one side. Kratz was hurt just before the end of this half and M c K e n n a, the second, was substi tuted, putting up a good game throughout. to their goal T he second half was all M. A. C. Again the fine cond'tion of our team was evident as it has been in all past games, and the latter part of this half was simply a repetition of the Olivet game. Kazoo fought gamely for the first ten minutes of this half, but after our next touch down by HolJsworth, it was simply a procession line. L o ng and steady gains were made by Doty, Holdsworth, McDermid and Boyle. Doty was injured dur ing this half and was replaced by Frazer, w ho through the help of W r i g h t, Burroughs and Boomsliter, broke through the line for good gains. T he last fifteen minutes of the game was as fine an exhibition of superb and fast team work as has ever been seen on any field. Small ran off the plays with clock like precision and Kazoo's defense was that it was easy for so weakened M. A. C. to run up the score. T he only material gain made by Kazoo w as a quarter back run by Kimmerle, who got away for a 30- yard run. T he only possible chance they had for a score was on an attempted place kick from M. A. C.'s 40 yard line. Following is the line up : Burroughs, C. Boomsliter, R. G. McDermid, R. T. Boyle, R. E. W r i g h t, L. G. Fisk, L. T. Holdsworth, L. E. Small, Q. B. McKenna, R. H. Kratz, McKenna, J r ., L. H. Doty, Frazer, F. B.

T h e re has been one reservation of 48 seats and several of 20 or more. This will, of course, be the big game of the season and M. A. C. is going to win that cup. Our percentage is still 1000 and our intercollegiate for games stand 78 to o in our favor. T wo games are yet to be played, Albion and Alma and if we win next Saturday it practically lands the championship for M. A. C. If we lose, we still have a fighting chance for a tie and if scores are to count for anyth ng M. A. C. is able to fur nish them. Albion has won 20 points to her opponents 12, aside from the Alma game. M. A. C. play Alma at Alma November 25. Come early if you want a seat at the Albion game. settled Saturday when JUNIORS IO. SENIORS 6. T he class championship for 1905 was the Juniors won from the seniors by the score of 10 to 6. T he Juniors played the better game throughout and showed the effect of practice, while the Seniors played a ragged game replete with fumbles. T he Juniors scored in the first half and again in the second before the Seniors could cross the line. Then on a blocked punt Barnett grabbed the ball and ran to the five-yard line, where he was downed. H o g ue was soon over for their only touch down. Several men in both teams showed varsity material. Graham, Smith and Barnett were the leaders for the Seniors, while Kratz, Gould G r e gg and Waite showed up best for the winning team.

A. C. It is not known how large a delegation Albion will bring, but they will, no doubt, bring a crowd, and on account throughout of the unusual interest the state it is expected that there will be the largest crowd ever seen on our field. W o rk continued all last week to get the field and seats in shape for the big game. T he bleachers have been divided into sections, and all will be reserved. T he advance application for seats promises that they will all be sold ahead of time. Applications have been neighboring from cities, from former Albion and M. received A. C. students, and the prospects are that you must come early " to avoid the rush." T he B >ard of Con trol has placed a nominal fee of fifteen cents for reserved bleacher seats and twenty-five cents for box seats. T h is is not done for the pur pose of making more money for the association, as the amount necessary to block the seats and pay for extra tickets, etc., will amount to about as much as that taken in by this extra charge. It is done in order to ac commodate our out-of-town friends w ho are coming. Seats have been placed on sale at two different places in Lansing, one in Albion, and at the secretary's office at the college. T he officials secured for the game are Thomas, referee, and Fishlee, umpire, both of Michigan, Hall, of Olivet, head linesman. RESOLUTIONS. Since one of our esteemed mem bers, William L.

C. that the inclement weather Sunday evening kept so many attending the chapel meeting. T he address by Prof. Randels of Alma college was most helpful to all w ho attended. Prof. Randels spoke of religion as an in stinct. " A ll men are religious," he said, " b ut not religi JUS enough." "Christianity offers the only means for a full development of that in Christianity is not built stinct. upon books or upon theories. It is built upon human nature, and so long as human nature continues as it is Christianity will stand." These are some of the thoughts brought out in the discourse. While there was not a very large audience those received some who were present convincing arguments that ought to remove any doubts that might exist in regard to one's religious life. M r. A. J. Patton assisted in the meeting by a solo that was highly appreci ated. T he Y. M. C. A. meeting T h u r s day evening, w as brightened by some helpful remarks of M r s. O. S. Nichols, of Detroit, w ho was visit ing her son, Alton. M r s. Nichols is interested in religious work for boys in Detroit, and had a message that w as interesting to our young men. M r. J. G.

F or two vears the, former heating system was such that great clouds of sooty smoke were continually passing over and settling on everything about these plants. T h a n ks to the chimney and stokers all is now changed and from the amount of smoke issuing from the chimney one would hardly know there was even a fire. I T IS with sadness that we pub lish the death of another student, M r. Woodbury, in this issue, and it is hoped and believed that the fatal ities will stop with this death. T he other four cases have been heard from and all are doing nicely. No new cases have been reported and with the immediate abandonment of the club in the W h i te Elephant, to from which the trouble seemed have originated, it is believed that no one need be alarmed as to the further spread of the disease. Al though there is considerable conject uring, it still remains a mystery as to the exact source of the trouble.
