CLOSES WITH BANQUET DEC. 11. T he football season just closed has been the most successful of any since Coach B r e w er came here to direct athletics. A <^ood schedule of games was provided and the manner in which this schedule was played is a matter of conversation all over Michigan. N e v er before did an M. A. C. team go through an entire season without meeting defeat, and seldom has any college team played institu tions ranking with Michigan, W a bash and D e P a ul and kept its goal line clear. M. A. C. scored a total of 261 points against 22 scored by oppo nents. 14 of these points were ob tained by the strong D. A. C. team of Detroit. score T he registered in a single game was 58 on the Reserves, and the largest on a college in the game with the . Michigan State School for the Deaf, when M. A. C. scored a total of 51 points. team w as made largest T wo games were played w h e re M. A. C. failed to score. Michigan University at Lansing, and DePaul at Chicago, both scores being 0-0. W i th the exception of F.razer's broken fingers not a serious injury was received during the entire sea- son. which speaks well for the con dition of the players, and for the training they received at the hands of " George " w ho worked faithfully all fall keeping down swellings and sore spots. ,-'•-•' the T he most noticeable defect of the season was the woeful lack of stu times when every dent spirit. At person connected with the college should have been down on (he bleachers, manv of students could be found at the roller rink or other down town places of amuse-, merit. T he rooting at mass meetings, held for the purpose of getting good team, was fighting most indifferent and weak, and did not represent one-half of what could be done if everybody hail done his share of the rooting. into the spirit A school represented by Such: a football team as we have had this fall, and which has played such ex ceptionally good ball, should be among the leaders in enthusiasm, but the general opinion seemed to be to let somebody else root, and as a result comments, have been heard on all sides regarding M. A.-C.'s half hearted rooting. W e ' ve got a bunch of good yells and songs and with' the whole stu dent body assisting a class of sys tematic cheering could be established here which should not be surpassed by colleges three and four times our size. A fitting close to such a glorious season will be the football banquet tendered the team by the student body Friday evening. T h o se who have been there before know what a royal good time can be had, and those w ho have never attended are going to miss one of the best gath erings of the year if they allow this occasion to slip past. T he banquet will be given in Wells Hall, and covers are to be laid for 250. Coach Brewer will act as toastmaster, and the following toasts will be respond I I. K.
