Michigan

w. II. Morley, of the Columbia foot.
BAH team, who Is spending his vlca-
ton at his ranch in the Datil noun
tains, New Mexico, has so far reced.
ed from the position he took last fall
that he Is willing to arrange a game
for Thanksgiving day between the
Michigan football eleven and that
representing Columbia. When the date
was asked by Michigan last fall, Nor
ley was inclined to turn down the
presumptuous westerners. He did
not see just what Columbia was to
gain by playing with the mighty men
OF the west. Though he declined to
express an opinion concerning the pos
sibility of the game his references to
IL were all such as led m to presume
he would never consent. There are
two considerations that have been of
great weight in deciding to play the
game, the first that Columbia was
likely to get no game on "banksgiv-
ing day with any prominent eastern
university, as many have abandoned
that day and the others have their
engagements made, and that the
Michigan men would prove a grand
drawing card for the closing of the
season. In all these games between
the west and the east, the west has
appeared as the supplicant, asking
for the honor, and In nearly every in
stance the games have to be played
on eastern gridirons. The eastern.
ers have g%rudgingly yielded to the
prayers of the west and have invar-
iably declined to risk their bones
upon the western tields, selecting
their own grounds for the contests.
so Michigan will be graciously per-
mittod to journey to New York to
play upon Columbia grounds.

ENGLISH IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Fearfully and Wonderfully Con-
 structed Sentences of the Far East.
 English as she is spoke by foreign CTS is a fearful and wonderful thing. Even those whose native tongue it is often mako havoc with it's perplexities; but when foreigner is turned loose among English roots, something is apt to break. I always reproached myself for laughing. at the absurdities of peo- pie struggling so earnestly with our id ioms, but laugh will come first and the reproach after. Other nations are so courteous to us in our bungles-which are out of all reason, for English speak ing people are undoubtedly the poorest linguists on the globe-that it seems very unkind to laugh at their mistakes. If there is anything funnier than my Spanish, seasoned with a French or German or Latin word from my long, forgotten vocabulary, I have yet to hear 1t. And yet these kindly Filipi- nos or Spaniards will hear me without smile, while 1nea cuba, give way to visible mirth at their slips.
