phases of the game. Realizing that the heavy Mississippi line is likely to check many of the attempts of the Crimson and White backs, Coach Kelly has been giving the varsity much practice at blocking for punts. The line has not been doing so well as it might and has often allowed men to get through. As 1t Is probable that Bully" Nande- Graaff will be called on frequently during the game to send the ball out of danger, such a weakness on the part of the forwards would result in serious consequences.
 The Alabama lineup is still as doubtful as ever, only those men who are too ill to appear having no chance to play. However, the team will look something like this: Morton and Steph- enson ends; Rogers and VandeGraaff, tackles; Sanford, Burks, Moreland and Whittlesey, guards; Maynor, center; w. Harsh, left half; Grammar and John scon, fullback; Hagan and Taylor, right half; G. Harsh, quarterback.

wilhelm SAYS
look FORWARD"
Emperor Tells Army and Navy to
Face New Year Unflinchingly
in Address.

Berlin, via London, Jan. 2.-Em.
peror William, in a New Years mes.
sage to the army and navy, asks them
to fact the new year unf1inchingly and
look forward to new deeds and new
victories for the beloved fatherland.
The message which was made public
at main headquarters here follows:
after five long months of heavy
and hot fighting we enter the new
year. .
brilliant victories haze been gained
and great successes achieved by the
German army almost everywhere on
the territory of the enemy. While re.
peated attempts of our opponents to
swarm on German territory have
failed. J.
MY ships have covered themselves
with glory on every sea and the crews
have proved not only that they know
how to fight VIGOROUSLY but to die
like heroes when overwhelmed by su-
periOr forces. .
''Behind the army and the fleet the
entire nation stands in unexampled
harmony, prepared to sacrifice its
hearts blod for the sacred domestic
hearts which they are defending
against outrageous invasion. Much
has come to pass in the old year but
the enemies are still kept low. Al
ways fresh ,hordes are rolling up
against our army and the army of our
faithful allies, but their numbers do
not brighten us. Although the times
may be serious and the task before us
a heavy one, we look forward into the
future with the firmest confidence.
Next to Gods wise guidance, l
trust to the matchless bravery of the.
army and navy and know myself to
be one with the entire German nation.
Therefore, let us face the new year
un%flinchingly, looking forward to new
deeds and new victories for our De.
loved fatherland. 49,. ~

This caused a sudden burst of fame,

been of a general vocational nature.
beginning last year the meetings
have been specialized and pertaining
to certain distinct phase of work.
This specialization has been carried
out to high degree in Wisconsin,
Cornell. and several other of the
larger Eastern institutions.
A rather unique plan will be fol-
lowed in that the program will not
be announced before it is given and
the speakers will not know their
order until the morning of the day
on which they are to appear.
The persons who will take part in
the m ceilings will be the guests of the
young women of the College and
every effort will be made to make
the w. s. G. women acquainted with
them. Those who took part in the
meetings last year have been invited
to return as guests and many will un-
doubtedly accept the invitation.

cost and expense of shipping such an
outfit, however, is almost prohibitive.
A new invention, however, consisting
of a machine weighing only six
pounds,a nd using films instead of
slides, will enable the work to be
done at much smaller expense. The
films for the new machine cost but
2 "a cents apiece, as opposed to Is
cents for the old style Slides If the
plan is approved by the regents, four
of these machines with four differ

on natural study and working in pic

purposes, will be sent out.

IL the plans now being made by
Lieutenant Osterman mature. the w.
s. c. cadet corps will leave for San
Francisco on May 81 by way of
Portland, arriving at the exposition
June 3. The total cost to each cadet
will be about $50, which amount will
cover all necessary expenses, includ-
ing admission to the fair. The cadets
will encamp just outside the fair
grounds in quarters fully equipped
with all camp comforts except bed
clothing, which each cadet must fur
nish for himself. The actual encamp-
ment will last from June 8 until June
3, at which time the regiment will
be disbanded. Although part of each
day will be given to the cadets for
pleasure seeking, the military exhibit
lions and competitive drills will be
held as usual Certain companies
will be detailed as escorts to state or
national dignitaries taking part in
the ceremonies of the exposition.

those who return only as far as Port

secured from the railroads and from

must take the trip. At present there
are nearly 400 cadets in the regi.
ment, and in addition some upper,
classmen are re-enrolling in order te
avail themselves of the opportunit,
to see the fair, so no difficulty is ex
pected to arise in securing the mini
