Word Received Less Than Eight Hours Before Time Scheduled for Playing. Varsity and Reserves Put Up a Scrappy Game. they cancelled At seven o'clock Saturday morn ing a telegram was received from the Albion saying game for that day. On being called up over the phone they gave several reasons for their action : F u s t, that we cancelled a game with them for Oct. 26, a fabrication pure and sim ple. T h ey asked for a game on that date, but were told that it was our policy to schedule but one game a year with any college, so the game impossible. Second, that no was official reply had been given to a protest entered by them, although letter they admitted which they thought we misused them last year when we told them what we thought of things, the sum total of which they thought sufficient to cancel the game. receiving a the case; them and several other covered T he real reason of course was a weak team and the game would have been a farce as far as good football is concerned. Olivet beat them 73 to o, while twice during the year they have been beaten by H i gh Schools and they were unwill ing to give M. A. C. the satisfaction of winning over them. Their action in cancelling after the advertising was out and tickets sold is without a parallel in the his tory of Athletics of any reputable school and it means that Albion will receive no consideration of any kind from M. A. C. in the future. Albion's having cancelled last Saturday's game at the last minute, left the varsity without a game so the reserves were substituted. Al though the veterans trounced them to the tune of 46 to 6 in thirty-five minutes of play, they put up a good scrap inch of ground. A better "crowd should have turned out to see the game as it was one of the most scrappy games seen on college field this sea son. contesting every Seibel played a star game at left end for the reserves, while Cogsdill at tackle, McWilliams at center, Lemmon and White at guards also played gilt edge ball. Coach Brewer let Mills start the game at quarter in place of Capt. Small. He seemed to use good judgment in running off plays, but in running back punts, he failed to follow his interference as he ought to have done. Allen was a'so given a chance at left half in V a u g h n 's place. M c K e n na acted as captain and did the punting. T he forward pass was used sev eral times for long gains and with good interference the backs made big gains through the line around the ends. T he first half ended with a score of 28 to o. T he second half found V a u g hn back in his old place and Sweeny was substituted for Mills at quarter. This being his first experience in team, he was running a Varsity In this half, somewhat confused. the reserves made their only score. L e m m on scooped up the ball on a fumble and with a clear field before him ran 50 yards for a touchdown. Capt. Small then replaced Sweeny and the Varsity proceeded to rip up the reserves for big gains. Al though being pushed back, they put up a stubborn resistance and fre quently held the first team to small gains. E v e ry man on the line put up a good game at defense and on the offensive even always there to aid the backfield the T he half ended with score 46 ball to 6. in advancing (Continued on page 4.) ESTABLISHING A REPUTA TION IN LIVESTOCK BREEDING. At the F a r m e r s' Club meeting last Tuesday night, Prof. R. S. S h aw spoke on the matter of "Establish- lishing a Reputation in Stock Breeding." T wo of the most im portant requisites to success, he said, were : a thorough knowledge of the work, and veracity. Almost any man could make a bad reputation in the live stock business, but it took an honest man to build up a good one, one that would stand the test of time. T he talk was very interest ing and all w ho heard it were deeply impressed. Tonight D r. T. C. Blaisdell will speak about "Some Western Im pressions" that he has experienced.

T h at a college of its professed should willfully and maliciously seek to in jure the athletics of a sister institu tion financially, and seriously handi cap it in the race for intercollegiate championship by depriving it of a game so necessary to develop the •work of the team and which was being counted on by the whole stu dent body, by waiting until the last minute when all arrangements had been made, when the officials were on their way and there was no op portunity to secure another game, seems almost incredible, yet Satur day's actions can be interpreted in no other way. that Albion's excuse for cancelling the game because of M. A. C. trying to run the intercollegiate be true she will probably find that from now on she will have no rival in that direction from M. A- C, T h e re are plenty of colleges of more than high school athletic standing w ho are ready and willing to schedule games with M. A.

Lane, State Geologist, uncorked rottenness the vial of speculative which has characterized the dis posal of much of the state lands in the northern counties which, when the timber is cut, is practically fit for nothing e\>e. In the course of his talk Dr. Lane showed the man ner in which the land is bought for from 25c to one dollar per acre, subdivided into small lots and sold at fabulous profits to widows, labor ing men and others w ho hope some day to make a home for themselves, only to find that the land is worth less as far as present day agricul are concerned. operations tural lots are given Sometimes these away, the promoters getting their profitby a judicial arrangement with the registering official w ho gets a fee of one dollar for each deed re corded. As a remedy for this revolting condition Dr. Lane said, " I believe that one of the kindest acts which could be done for the long suffering people of this and other states who are constantly being duped by these to land-sharks and promoters establish a s o rt of benevolent society to b uy up these lands and turn them over to the forestry de partment for forestry purposes so they would be that in the future individ Private come productive. uals cannot afford to buy this land for forestry purposes for the exces sive tax imposed upon non-residents is prohibitive." is Other phases of forestry work touched upon were the enormous amount of timber necessary for use in ihe mines which, on account of the ever increasing price, is cutting down mining dividends, and the charcoal and wood alcohol industry which is rapidly using up timber valuable for other and more import ant purposes. NORMAL FARMERS' INSTI TUTE HERE NEXT WEEK. Hon. John Hamilton, Farmers' Institute Specialist of Washington, will be pres ent. Everything indicates a large at tendance at the Normal F a r m e r s' Institute to be held at the College, Tuesday to Friday, November 19th to 22nd. T he lectures will be for the most part, by members of the College fac ulty, and w h at is virtually a short " S h o rt Course " in agriculture will be given. A m o ng the subjects to be treated will be soil fertility, ma nures and fertilizers, corn and plant improvement, potato blight and rot, forestry for farmers, h og cholera and other animal diseases and their treatment, improving farm animals, plant diseases, spraying and the preparation of spraying mixtures, poultry raising, the use of cement on the farm, water supply for farm topics of general ers, power on the farm, Michigan highways, agriculture in the rural reading in the home and schools, other interest.

" T he college has also a forest reservation of 42,680 acres in Iosco and Alcona counties. Students will do all phases of practical forestry work on this reservation during the summer vacation for which they will receive pay. This is not a play garden, but a great forest in which the student meets the same prob lems that will confront him in after life. "A forester should have in addi tion to a technical training in fores try a thorough knowledge of soils meteorology, entomology as related to forest insects, and a number of taught other subjects which are only in agricultural colleges. Inas much as forestry is a phase or part for each vocation of agriculture must in many respects be identical. Forestry students at this college re ceive instructions in all those sub jects which have both a direct and indirect relation to forestry. " T he graduates from this depart ment find already employment at good salaries. T h ey are prepared to go into private forestry business to superintend the forestry work on private estates, to act as state for esters, to direct ihe forestry work of railways and lumber companies or to enter forest the government service.
