The Union terminal will be the scene of a gigantic send-off rally Monday night at 7:30 o’clock when an expected 2000 Trojan rooters gather to cheer the team on to victory as they leave for South Bend and their game on November 25 with the Irish of Notre Dame.

Dr. Metfessel has performed many experiments upon the canaries, all based on the theory that environmental effects upon the birds would have a similar effect upon human beings.

Careful records of each bird’s song is kept by connecting a microphone in the cage with another room where each vibration is recorded on a revolving drum by a stylus. Records are also kept by transmitting the song onto a phonograph record. At the present Dr. Metfessel has more than 750 records of canary songs on file.
