Coach Macklin gave a very interesting talk before the Y. M. C. A. boys at the meeting last week. The baseball team goes on a southern trip this week, taking on Ohio Wesleyan, Marshall College, Marietta, and Bethany College; the latter for two games. The track meet with Notre Dame is the big ath letic contest of the week at M. A. C. This is sched uled for Saturday, and, from comparative scores, the Aggies are picked to win. The Hesperians lead in the race for the inter- society baseball cup so far. Last Saturday they won from the Auroreans 20-0, the Ionians won from Col umbians 6-1, the Phyleans from the Dorians 11-2. Secretary A. M. Brown and Cashier Jacob Schep- ers spent last week-end at Ann Arbor, in attendance at the annual meeting of the secretaries and cashiers of the colleges and universities of the middle west. A cup or trophy of some sort will be put up again this year for the winner of the inter-society relay races. The preliminaries will be run after the base ball game with the University on May 28th, and the finals on the following day. ' The Eunomians entertained at an "open house" last Saturday night with a clever little play in which several of the members acted the female role ad mirably. Patrons were Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell, Mrs. Charles Todd and Isabelle Schanhite. S. D. Smith, of the U. S. Forestry Service, was here last week inspecting the college nursery. The government expects to do much more extensive plant ing at East Tawas, and this visit had some connec tion Avith future plans for this government reserve. Misses Taft, Judson and Clinton and Messrs. Moskowitz, Vergeson and Crozier journeyed to Olivet last Thursday to meet the Olivet tennis sharks. They returned with all the honors except the girls' doubles. Miss Casho and A. N. Hall accompanied the teams. Pour new men were honored by election to the Alpha Zeta fraternity last week, in the persons of W. J. Atchison, Lansing; C. R. Oviatt, Bay City; L. R. Stanley, Traverse City; M. H. Shearer, St. Jos eph. The initiation festivities for these men closed with a banquet last Thursday night at the Campus Club. A distinctly "high brow" picnic was scheduled for Pine Lake last Saturday, when all the honor societies at M. A. C. combined for a jolly time. The list in cludes Omicron Nu, Alpha Zeta, Tau Beta Pi, Scab bard and Blade, and the new Veterinary fraternity, Alpha Psi. Most of the Omicron Nu representatives to the grand conclave also participated in this picnic. The Olympics decorated the Armory in smilax, had a bubbling fountain at one end and a den at the other, and a woodlot for the orchestra, ' for their party last Saturday night. Prof, and Mrs. Eustace, Dean and Mrs. Bissell and Prof. Cox were patrons. The college orchestra furnished the music, and Mr. O'Connor, a soloist, from Jackson, sang the special numbers. The progams were card cases, and la valiers were the favors. Ralph Dodge, '14, of Leslie, was back for the party. The Faculty entertained the officers of the Lansing Chamber of Commerce at a buffet luncheon in the Agricultural Hall Wednesday evening. The object was to promote fellowship between the college and this representative body of Lansing business men, and if the satisfaction which was expressed at the close of the meeting is a criterion, the aims were accomplished. There was much speechmaking, the truly get-acquainted spirit was in evidence, and the "high brows" enjoyed themselves. In one mail last week cash to the amount of $100 came into the forestry department for trees to be used in planting in the State. It all had to be sent back because the department had sent out all the trees available this year. This shows something of the interest that is being awakened throughout this It shows, also, that commonwealth in reforestation. the present forest nursery, even with the large addi tions that have been made in recent years, is entire ly too small to satisfy this increasing demand. The inspection of the cadet corps last Wednes day forenoon was carried through without a hitch, and the inspecting officer, who had been here three times before, said that the cadets gave the best ex hibition that he ever saw at M. A. C, and ran a close second to Illinois in the military departments of the land grant colleges. The inspection was very thorough, each company being given a chance to show what could be done both in close and extended order. The work of the officers was especially commendable. Twenty-one of the winners in Barry county corn contests spent last Saturday at M. A. C, under the direction of State Leader Lindemann and County Y. M. C. A. Secretary Vandercook. President Snyder, Messrs. Grover, Baldwin and Langdon took luncheon with the boys at Club E, and then all went to the ball game. The boys reported a fine time, and this seems to us the best means that has yet been devised for rewarding the winners in these contests. A trip to M. A. C. should be an eye opener for the bright boys and girls of Michigan. The lecture by Prof. Roland G. Usher, delivered last Tuesday night in the Armory, was full of good things for those who cared to inform themselves upon the finer points of the present European war. Prof. Usher spoke from a personal knowledge of the geography and diplomatic relations of Europe today, and discussed these from the economic standpoint. In his opinion, Germany will be humbled only by an attack through the open plains of Austria-Hun gary. He believes the taking of the Dardanelles will completely change the chief objective points of at tack of the allies. The new members of the Scabbard and Blade, elect ed last week, are: Henry Gork, Grand Rapids; Wal lace H. Gillette, Grand Rapids; Thomas W. Gorton, Mason; Charles N. Winston, Saginaw; Robert Knud- son, Rockford; Glenn I. Hobbs, Traverse City; Lorin Williams, Owosso. Sergeant Cross is authority for the statement that one would have to look a long time for a more efficient staff of officers than the M. A. C. cadet corps boasts of at the present time, and he attributes a good deal of this excellence to the work of the Scabbard and Blade, which is the honorary military fraternity. The senior "swing out," the annual initial appear ance of the senior men and women in their caps and gowns, occurred last Wednesday evening, in connec tion with the first out-door band concert of the spring term. The line formed in front of the Women's Build ing, and marched around to "Sleepy Hollow," where the concert took place. A large gathering from Lan sing and East Lansing witnessed the ceremonies and enjoyed the band concert. Besides the caps and gowns, the seniors "sprung" "blazers" last week. The light, airy coats are of blue and white stripes, and serve splendidly to distinguish "the soon to de part" from the "still running." This is one of the stunts which the present graduating class will no doubt look back to in the future and say, "We start ed that custom." Did there ever a class graduate from M. A. C. that did not "start" something new? 6 THE M. A. C. RECORD. We have everything new and up-to-date in Fishing Tackle Also a complete line of Tennis Rackets a nd Balls.
