TT. Starvation Point.

To the question, IF there were
Siege. how long do you think the SOL
d,ers and civilians could live after the
food supplies gave out?" an English
naper answers: Science tells US that Ii
he can get drinking water an ordinary
man can exist for thirty days without
food. At the end Of that time the ma
chinery of the body will not be spoiled
and can be brought back to its former
strength by careful feeding.
About a quarter Of our body weight
IA fat. and it is mostly this fat that Is
absorbed as food during the period OF
starvation. We can absorb and burn
nm our muscles until 60 per cent OF
their weight is gone. We can do the
same with from 80 to 40 per cent OF
our uvers and digestive organs and ~
per cent Of our lungs. Our hearts can
lose 10 per cent and our brains ana
nervous systems can lose per cent.
II will be seen that the more vital
organs-brain and heart-yield least OF
their valuable substance for the life OF
the body, while the less essential SUD-
stances-fat, muscle fiber, etc.-are con-

His First Golf PLAY,

81. Chandler Egan's first golf was
played on a three hole course in Il
pasture back of his fathers house, at
Highland Park, Ill. The former cham
pion and his brother laid out the links,
then invited their cousin, Walter, to
teach them the game. The latter tee
ing up a ball on the first, hit it straight
down to the broomstick which served
as a flag pole. The ball bounced along
the uneven green and disappeared in
the hole. Turning to his astonished
gallery, he remarked:
'There, you see, it is very simple.
That is the way you do it."
Chandler Egan tried, but didn't sue
coed, and although he won the amateur
title twice, he claims he was never
able to equal the wonderful drive his
cousin made that day.-Golfers' Maya

A Motorcar Race In 1895.

In 1895 a few enthusiastic "horseless
carriage" manufacturers decided that
the time was ripe for a race. As we
look back at it now the contest was a
mechanical jest The vehicles started
bravely and then stopped lamely while
their drivers made repairs. One in
ventor followed his mechanical wonder
with a team of horses. The winner of
the race had averaged the mad speed
Of seven and one-half miles an hour.
His engine. carefully tested after the
feverish contest was over, was found
to develop an amazing four horsepower.

BADGERS AND N. D.
CROSS BATS TODAY
Early Reports of Cancellation
of Game Proved False by
Late Telegram.

Notre Dame was TO meet its sec
ond conference opponent of the sea
son this afternoon. when Wisconsin,
clashes with the gold and blue nine
on Cartier field. The game was to
start at o'clock.
Especial interest was attached
10 today's game because fans had
thought the contest would not be
played. Sunday newspaper reports
stated that Wisconsin had with
drawn from all athletic contests be-
cause of the war. Coach Harper re-
ceived a telegram from Badger au-
thOrities yesterday. however. which
carried the information that the
Wisconsin aggregation would be
here, that newspaper reports were
false.
For the past three years Wiscon-
sin has been one of NOtre Danes
hardest baseball opponents. In 1914
and 1915 the HoOsiers won both OF
the Badger contests played here,
but Wisconsin won both of the local
opening games last season. Notre
Dame later last season won from
Wisconsin at Madison and was lead
ing in the game on the following
day when rain put an end TO the
fray. Wisconsin is said to be as
strong as ever this year. The Bad
gers opened their season Saturday,
winning from st. Ambrose college.

"Swede" Edgren VIII do the hurl-
ing for Notre Dame in today's bat
tie. The South Bend boy pitched
good ball against Illinois in the first
game and famed 13 men. He is in
