T he final score 7 and 7 spoke well of the evenness of the match although Hyde Park was some what heavier than the Lansingites. T he game was played in a downpour of rain and the crowd, estimated at 5000, watched the entire contest under umbrellas. T he two high school teams were the guests of Director Brewer and the varsity at a dinner on Satur day noon and were given the hospitality and the facilities of the gymnasium during their stay on the campus. Many of the players were guests at society houses in the evening. A NEW SWITCH' has been completed at the old White Elephant corner and by means of it and the rearrangement of the routing, the street car service from Lansing to the col lege is considerably improved. T he college line is now linked up with the Washtenaw line going to the Olds Motor Works loop and the belt line is now a part of the Potter Park route. The rearrangement in the rout ing effects the saving of four minutes on the time of the trip from Lansing to the college. The cars now leave every ten minutes and make the trip down in an even twenty minutes.

IN AN EFFORT TO BRING SOME SYSTEM out of chaos in the layout of East Lansing's a r teries of residences and trade, the city coun cil recently passed an ordinance renaming a number of the streets. T he ordinance pro vides that the highways running north and south are to be known as Streets, and all running east and west are to be known as houses Avenues. Eventually East Lansing will be renumbered. T he passage of the or dinance has aroused considerable of a tempest among the dwellers on highways bearing such names as Sunset Lane, University Drive, Hickory Court and Kensington Road, w ho are loath to give up the euphonious and sug gestive designations of their streets. A fight is on to change parts of the ordinance, to retain certain of the original names.

It stands grey and gaunt against the bleak December sky. Oblivious of its cringing neighbors, and the young sol diers who pass heedlessly by over the smooth- worn stones at its feet, it stands lost in silent revery of days long since departed. A huge oak door, black with age, stands slightly ajar. Once in a while a soldier stops, and peers within, and new and then one enters. It is Christmas morning.

The tall pointed windows with their shattered glass admit the chill Decem ber air.

There are none present who do not know now, if never before, the meaning of that sacred symbol. The band, which might seem out of place in a church, becomes here a part of the dec orative scheme.

We will find as a result that students will flock to M. A. C. in order to en courage more and better athletics, to win more games to get more students to win more and more, etc., etc. Wonderful! Wonder ful !!—All the former students and graduates will return every fall and the campus will scarcely hold the mob. A new stadium will result and the "Champions of the West" will have the backing of thousands and thousands, of course, can't help but be champions—Won't it be grand? It will mean at least 5000 stu dents. That will require more buildings, more professors, more East Lansing and all that. It is a wonderful dream, isn't it? Some folks live to have their college win the championship and if it doesn't win they're disgraced. They're down and out until their college wins again. that suggest to observe long enough in advancing a little credit therefore I haven't any grand children yet but I've lived that no one college has had a winning team every year I also observe that when since its founding. a college does not have a winning team that lot of there's I alibies. it wasn't It was worse the year I was a prep. so bad. the season was over we took up And after (the edu importance matters of secondary cational end of college life) and continued to be happy and enjoy life as becomes students who can do nothing else. I saw the game with this year and while not quite as low a score as I hoped for it was a good game. Nothing to be ashamed of, at all. M. A. C. played good ball but was slightly out classed. A college of 1500 students can't expect to win every game from the larger universities. And when M. A. C. plays one of the Western Conference teams and makes a fairly good showing it is certainly no disgrace. I'm all for winning but I'm not going to sob if we loose a few games. There seems to be a great desire among a few M. A. C. graduates to get a much larger attendance at M. A. C. Perhaps is some good reason other than the one afore the University there If so, won't you urge someone mentioned. to show me? I believe that M. A. C. should be pre pared to care for 2000 students. I would not care to see it adding new courses and ex panding much beyond that number, unless .there is a great demand from the public. There are some advantages in attending the smaller colleges and I believe that M. A. C. should aim more at quality and not so much at quantity and maintain the spirit of union and cooperation that is more or less lacking in the large universities. Maurice F. Johnson '07.

C, probably the more so because the coach is an old Illinois foot In fact, folks say here that "Potsy" ball star. football man Clark was the best Illi nois ever turned out. I am strongly in favor of the sentiment expressed in the Record early in October, "A Square Deal for Potsy." He has had a tough proposition. Providing that M. A. C. can keep him as coach, I believe that we are entering a season of greatness in football similar to 1914, 15 and 16. that The Union Memorial seems a certainty be yond the expectations of many I believe. In fact I am glad that the goal has been doubled, and since this has been done I believe it is my duty to double my subscription for the fund so you may make note of this. I do not like the plan of putting the building on the site of Dr. Bessey's house, but prefer a loca tion near Prof. Taft's house.
