Cosmopolitan Club Lectures.

IN 1906 there was organized at the
University Of Michigan a Cosmopoll
tan club the membership of which is
composed mainly Of students from
foreign countries. The character OF
this club Is truly cosmopolitan. It's
members are interested not only in
the problems which relate to their ma
tive countries, hut also in the larger
problem of the relation of America to
their home lands, such as China. South
America. the Philippine. etc.
Among the members Of this club
there are many who represent impor-
tant and varied interests i'm the coun-
tries from which they come; there are
also in this group many excellent
speakers. A number of this latter
class are DESTROYS of becoming ac-
quainted with the conditions of cijy
and country life i'm America. and also
Of spreading "a knowledge of the con-
ditions which surround their home
life. They seek To eXpound the prn-
ciples of the cosmopolitan movement.
TO this end group of students from
a selected list of the members Of the
Cosmopolitan club offer limited num-

INTEREST IN FOOTBALL
:. :. :. :. = !: :. :. = :. :. :. :. :. :.

New York, Nov. l9-With the first
uf two big football games To be played
in this city set for Saturday local in
terest in the gridiron sport is rapidly
rising To- the standard set by college
Towns. Despite the Overshadowing eff
New Haven there is big demand for
tickets for the Carlisle Dartmouth
contest AT the Polo grounds next sat
urdaN. Great as is the interest i'm this
game, however, it falls short of the
enthusiasm and ticket demand for the
army and Navy contest on Nov. 20.
The enormous seating capacity of
the Polo ground stadium has been
found unequal To the demand for cou-
pons. With the game still more than
Two weeks away the tickeJ demand
exceeds the $4,000 seating capacity by
many thousands. Secretary Foster of
the New York baseball club estimates
that close TO 10000 seat coupons could
have been sold for the game.
An effort is being made To have the
competing players i'm both of these
games numbered so that there may be
no doubt as to the men making the
touchdowns, runs and tackles. If the
plan proves IA successful move i'm the
Dartmouth game the Army and
Navy eleVens will be urged To adopt
the method for the closing game of the
season on Nov. 20.
