The following members of the Student dent council have been appointed to supervise arrangements: C. D. Bottum; '20E, chairman, Karl H. Velde, '20, David D. Nash, '20, Frank J. Helbig, '20P, and LeGrand A. Gaines, '21E. At 10 o'clock .the team will be escorted down to the train with the band in the lead. Support Imperative "Eyery student of the University should, be on hand to see the team. off when it starts for Champaign," said Carl Johnson, '20, president of the Student council, yesterday. He continued, "Michigan is now given a, chance #o prove that she has not lost that 'come-back' spirit for which she has been so justly famed in forner years. With two defeats behind' her, and two of the hardest games of tie season before- her, it is imperative that the student body give the team, all the backing they possibly can. Not many of us can go with the team, but every one of us can be on hant to give them such a send-off as Michi- gan has never before witnessed. The team deserves it, they are fighting; it is the least we can do for them. Victory Means Much 'It should also be remembered that the cross country team goes to Illi- nois - at the same time the football; squad leaves. They also deserve the student's hearty support." George Hurley, '21L, secretary of the Union, said, "The team faces the most WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?- A Michigan team will leave for, a rival field at 10:42 tonight. That-team has been defeated twice this year. Michigan has always been considered; the leader of the Conference and Champion of the West. To lose the next two, or even one, games would for the first time in history put Michigan at the bottom of the Conference list. Never before has Michigan lost as she may lose this year. Never before has Michigan been so near to losing the prestige that she. has held from tiine immemorial. We'can stand the sting of losing two games, but another must not be added to the list. There is only one thing that will 'make that Michigan team stand a. chance of defeating Illinois. That is pure, unadulterated Michigan spirit. Michigan is going through on its spirit and nerve as it never has before. There will be no schedule of trick plays; Michigan spirit only can'push the 'Maizd and Blue team to 'victory. j To have that spirit, the team must have the biggest/send off that has ever been given a Michigan or any other team. Spirit, 'plenty of it, displayed by the student body will give the team the confidence that it must have to make, a good account of itself. It is disheartening to anyone to lose two important contests. The team -is' no, exception. It must be re-imbued with that old Michigan- -"fight 'em" spirit. Cheer it, talk about it, stand behind it, do anything that will show Those fighters that Michigan .is behind her team. That train leaves the Michigan Central depot at 10:42 tonight. Nine thousand eight hundred men and women, students and members of the faculty be there. It's stay up or go down once for all-time, Michigan.

V., who lectures here at 8 o'clock" Saturday night in Hill auditorium under the auspices of the oratorical association, is quoted as saying. The principal reasn given by lieu- tenant Brown for th impracticability of airplanes of heavier-than-air type is that the great weight of their fuel loads makes it impossible to carry -man'y passengers or a large amount of freight. He hopes fdr the eventual development of. some new 'motive power which will obviate this diffi- culty. Lieutenant Brown together with Capt. John Alcock, D. S. C., the pilot, made the first no-stop transatlantic flight in history last June, dying from the Newfoundland coast to Clifden, Ireland, in a few minutes more than 16 hours.
