game played in the state this season so
far was the game between OllVet ana
Alma at Olivet last Saturday. Each
team played better ball thanat the pre-
previous game and everyone agrees that
the better team won by superior all
around football. Ohvet's defense was
good. AS is evinced by the fact that three
times she held Alma for downs ON tie
Toward line. while the strength oi
Alma's defense is shown by the fact
that only once in the game did OllNet
make respectable gain, and never once
was Alma goal in danger Early III
the game il was discovered that Ollvet :
weak point was in her right guard and
in this vulnerable place were nearly all
of Alma games made.
Alma kicked off in the first hall aho

REV. JEFFERSON GONE.
Not Known who the New Rector Will
Be.

Rev. II. b. jefferson preached his
farewell sermon in the St Johns church
last Sunday evening before a good sized
congregation. The sermon was very
inspiring and delivered in Rev Jeifer-
sons most masterful style. Rev. Jeiter-
son came 10 this church about five years
ago and since that time has laoored
assiduously for its welfare. \ large
addition has been made to the member
ship and many other Improvements OF a
lasting nature have been made, and
there are many who deeply regret his
departure. ON Tuesday morning he
left for indianapolis and expects to re-
main there until he makes some definite
plans for the future. The members OF
his family expect TO remain in Alma
during the winter. AS yet it Is not
known who the new rector will be.
