FIRST BLOOD FOR O
Alma Wins From Albion in
Hotly Contested Game.

Davis Field was the scene Of a mighty
struggle last Saturday afternoon when
the Albion college football team went
down in inexorable defeat at the hands
OF Alma. The day was fair except fol
few drops of rain which failed tC
dampen the enth usiasm Of the big Grove d
probably the largest ever assembled to
witness football game on the campus.
The gate receipts amounted to fifty dol
lars, almost enough TO defray the ex'
penses of the game.
The visiting team looked formidable
and fears were expressed that they
would prove too heavy for our boys, but
the game had not been in progress five
minutes when 1t became evident that
our team played the better football and
that fact became more and more evident
as the game progressed.
Fuller kicked off, Knickerbocker
caught the ball for Albion and made
small advance. For few minutes
Albion made good gains and 1t looked
rather dubious but the visitors tum bled
the bali, Whitney fell on 1t aud III q
moment Alma was marching straight
down to their goal. Line bucking was
the prevailing kind OF playing and the
gains made Uy Nil the Alma bacAs WtTo
phenomenal. Fuller played n {
game, Mcbride made big gains and
Anderson, our new haltback, was a
star. Beecnler also deserves apecial
mention for the way he tore up the op-
posing line Was caution. ALBION .
star man was hlll, one oI the haii iUacAs.
The halves were twenty minutes In
length. The first half ended with a
score OF 6 TO in Almas favor, and at
the end of ,he second it stood II 10 y
with the ball in Albion's territory about
20 yards from her goal. 1t was one Of
the prettiest games ever played In Alma,
just close enough to make 1t exciting
and yet sure enough TO keep the sup
porters of the home team In good spirits.
The friends of Alma college may per
paps be pardoned for taking special de
light in our having won Saturday S
game. The fact is Albion has been WIN
ming in number of baseball, football
and debating contests with US and 1t
was high time for us TO demonstrate
that Albion can't beat US every time.
The second big game of the season will
be played on Davis Field tomorrow.
Kalamazoo is coming up 10 try us.
Last week they were defeated by Olivet
16 to o, 1t remains to be seen how bad

ROMEO AND JULIET"

Shakespeare genius was at its best
in his creation Of the marvellous char
acters in this play. How skilful is the
contrast OF the Nurses subtle humor-a
masterpiece of comic characterization
with Mercutio's scoffing cynicism, a
creation Of high comedy, with the fra
grant innocence OF Juliet, and the ro-
mantle enthusiasm of her lover, Romeo.
All the very best features of dramatic
composition and poetry are 10 be found
in Romeo and Juliet. The interest is
absorbing, the pathos most deeply touch
ing, while the humorous element, never
too prominent, affords that contrast so
essential TO a really great drama. The
character of Friar Laurence is well
worth study, so is that of Lady Capulet,
Paris, mirth provoking Peter; the starv-
ing Apothecary the fiery Tybalt, old
Capulet, noble Benvolio and the lesser
characters. This beautiful play must
always highly interest those who are
not dead to the noblest passions of our
nature or blind TO the greatest beauties
poetry can create. Simvelle's production
