WHAT FASTING FEELS LIKE
University of Chicago Professor Has
Made Public the Results OF In
vestigatons He Has Made.

In numerous descriptions of the eX-
periences of man In the course OF
more or less prolonged fasting. one
meets the repeated assertion that aft
or a brief initial period little or no
hunger whatever is felt. Since 1t has
been well-cStnblished that the sensa-
ton of hunger is Induced by certain
type of tonic -nd periStallc contrac.
tons of the empty or nearly empty
stomach, ii must be assumed either
that these contractons are abolished
as fast proceeds or that the sensa-
tons are decidedly modified,
A professor Of the University of
Chicago has lately had an exceptional
opportunity to investigate these ques-
tons. AS the result of careful OBJ
servations on man during prolonged
intentional starvation, he found that
during the Is days complete fast and
the subsequent eight days of absti-
npnce from food with daily ingestion
of cotton fiber. the gastric hunger con
fractions Of his subjects continued
with practically normal rhythm and
intensity, but the subjective sensa'
tons induced by the gastric contrac'
lions appeared to be somewhat weak
ened and tinged with an element OF
general epigastric distress or sick
stomach.

WHY GOLF GAME IS POPULAR
One Sport Where Individual Is Su- preme and Mistakes of Opponent
 Do Not Assist.

Golf is the one game where the in dividual is supreme. No matter how poorly one man plays, the other can not win unless he himself plays better. The mistakes of one player do not themselves rid the other unless he avoids making the same or otker er- TOTS.
 The tennis player scores when the other player drives out of bounds or into the net. The football team tal- lies when the punt is dropped or the ball is fumbled. A dropped fly ends many baseball game when victory seems sure for the other side. And so on in every sport but one, and that is golf.
 If the one golfer drives out of bounds or tops his drive or shoots into trap the other man benefits not at all unless he plays better golf.

CBy c. HALSTED MAPES, Chairman Board of Stewards, Intercollegiate Row. ing Association)
 While it is still too early to state definitely the outlook for competitive rowing during the coming season, feel confident that the sport will oc- cupy a position of importance in the athletic activities of the Eastern col leges in 1918. AS means of physical development and recreation, rowing has always held deserved promi- hence in the athletic life of the under graduate. There is, moreover, under the present conditions, an additional and pressing need for a continuation of the upbuilding of the collegian both from a bodily and mental standpoint. know of no better form of exercise to help to achieve this than rowing with It's demand for a perfect co-ordi- nation of mind and body in the indi- vidual oarsman and the crew as a whole.
 To Continue Rowing.
 That this is thoroughly realized by
 
 rious colleges, which have sent crews to both Poughkeepsie and New London in recent years, is shown by the plans to continue rowing, even though in modified form, during the coming sea- son. There will be both indoor and open water training for the oarsmen at Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania, Yale, Harvard and Syracuse. Inter- class and college regattas will be held and under certain conditions there Is a possibility of some intervarsity compe- tition, although not upon as important scale as that which marks college rowing in normal times.
 interest in Sport.
 Fall practice was held at a majority of the institutions which have support ed crews in the past and reports from all these centers indicate that the stu dents evinced marked interest in the sport, when the number of unusual ac- tiyities which are now a part of regu lar college work are taken into con- sideration. That this same interest and enthusiasm will continue through out the winter and increase with the coming of spring appears quite certain. Rowing will be supported so long as it does not interfere with the more im- portant duties of the undergraduate in his relation to his college and the country at large, and those in charge of the sport can be counted upon to see the danger line is not overstepped.

 Fitzsimmons was about 20 pounds lighter than Corbett, but won through strategy and hard punching.
 F'itz gave way much more weight to rugged chaps like Sharkey, Ruhlin and others, but had no difficulty in proving that the bigger they are the 'arder they fall"
 At the same time, given two men equal in hitting and science, neither can concede much weight to his oppo- nent.

 There was the usual chatter of in struments on the white tray as we opened our jaws and the dentist peered into them This time his object of attention was the cavity from which he had recently extracted a tooth.
 What are you going to do after I get through?" said the doctor mildly.
 Between his fist and his mirror we blurted out something about lunch.
 "Go to lunch with me, will youT
 We nodded our assent and then it happened Something that felt as big as a crowbar is and was as sharp as a new safety razor blade is supposed to be went up into the roof of our mouth. When we landed down again on the chair and the pain had eased of a trife we started to laugh
