ALMA HIGH SCHOOL
An Enviable Football Record.
CHAMPIONS OF SECTION iii.
Owosso Defeated by Score of II TO o.

0wosso Defeated BY Score of IL TO U.
Last Saturday was the day set aside
for all final games of the six sections of
the state to be played.
Alma, who has not yet been scored
on by any high school in the section,
played Owosso, who also had clear
record.
Both teams were evenly matched and
when the game was called it wasl hard
matter 20 pick the winner. Owosso
won the flip and chose the north goal
AT 2: % Alma kicked off and the game
was In progress. At the kickoff, Decker
downed the man in his tracks. Owosso
quickly carried the ball from her thirty
yard line TO Alma's 20 yard line. Alma
seemed unable TO stop her line plunges.
AT this point Alma held her for downs.
After one or two short gains Alma lost
the ball on tumble. Owosso worked
the ball to Alma's 10 yard line, where
Alma made heroic effort and held her
for downs. Alma carried the bail back
TO the middle OF the field where she
was held for downs. Owosso made d
couple of efforts to gain and was forced
to punt A Ia started 10 bring the ball
back bat lost it again on a tumble
Owosso soon after was forced TO punt.
Jefferson caught the ball and heeled the
kick. An Owosso man threw him, com
mitting foul. Alma was given l5
yards. With the ball on the 20 yard,
Alma slowly carried the ball back In
Owosso's territory. Time was called.
Score too.
| Green kicked off for Owosso, Decker
returning the ball about 40 yards. Alma
started in to win the game. but the ball
was given to Owosso on account OF Alma
using her hands. Owosso failed TO gain
and resorted TO a kick. Strong returned
the same and by clever lodging, avoid.
ed being tackled on the spot. Alma
then proceeded to show Owosso a style
of football that she could not under
stand. She avoided funbliDg and car
ried the ball down the field for two
touch downs. Jefferson kicked two
goals. Time was called with the ball OIL
IOwosso's 30 yard line. Alma's offenst
is very strong, Decker, Sinner, Fletcher
Grover, Leonard and Strong, making
large gains. Her defense is not the best
but with little more practice she will
be able to hold any high school. Mex
Saturday Alma plays Lansing at Lans
ing. The boys from the capital city
have not been scored on and it now re
mains for Alma to show her mettle.
There are only six teams left in the
race and should Alma fail to win from
Lansing, she has record that no school
of her size can maintain.
Ann Arbor, Orchard Lake, Lansing
South Haven, Kalamazoo and Alma
still remain in the fight

 A miraculous eInn tree which. cures all diseases; a shrine on which balls of fire pour down from the sun, flooding the .neighboring houses and fields: and the ex- tstence of a girl who, in defiance Of all physical laws, has neither eaten nor slept for fourteen years are the amazing reve- lations which have centered the atten- ton of France on little Normandy Yil- lage, says Paris correspondent or The Milwaukee Sentinel. The most remark able feature is that the stories do not rest on one authority, which might De questioned from lack of corroboration. The facts as recorded are vouched for not only by an entire community as eye witnesses, but by throngs from all parts of France, who went to disperse idiouc credulities and superstitions, and 19 who manifestations of the hand of God.
 Although 1t is within the brief space of one week that the village Of Tilly-sur- sueles has sprung into celebrity, nearly initiated that great marvels would be witnessed there: young servant girl of the village, Marie Martel, was praying under an elm tree in field, when Yis- ion appeared to her. Marie Marte1 told the tale and was heard with indulgent smiles. But the vision returned as Marie Virgin Mary surrounded by angels. who revealed to her that the elm tree was Blessed with the power of healing Here was something tangible with which to
 
 plucking a bit of bark from the tree, Ma Tie Martel told her friends of what had happened and asked them to accompany her to the house of an old paralytic who had not moved a limb for twenty years. and on whom medical skill had been Vainly expended. Marie Martel tied the piece of bark round his neck; shortly af- ter he fell off into a deep sleep. and when he awakened next morning he was It, orally able to take up his bed and walk. From that day the miracles did not cease. All those of the village that had chronic troubles or those that were victims of accidents came to Marie Martel to be healed; and bit of the really magic tree restored them to health.
