ATHLETICS AT A STANDSTILL.

The progress OF training in spring
athletics is at a standstill, owing to the
weather. The track men are unable to
get the needed outdoor training to get
in the best condition, and the captain
OF the baseball team does not wish to
take chances with having his men IN
fit Tor hard practice because OF sore
arms, when the warm weather does
come. Our game at the college last
Tuesday brought out the fact that the
team needs to perfect its team work,
and to learn the finer points OF the
game. With the return TO practice of
johnson the baseball prospects have
been brighter than before. The infield
will have TO be weakened in order to
strengthen the battery. Mr.. Claude
Watson being moved from short stop TO
the position behind the bat the track
teams and baseball teams hope TO bring
victory to their school and In order TO
do so need the hearty support of the
student body, for only the enthusiasm
OF the students can help maintain q
winning team.
Up TO date, two track meets have been
scheduled. one with Mt. Pleasant May
ii, and one at st. Johns June 10, which
is the annual Central Michigan Inter
scholastic meet. With almost two
months in which to train, the team bids
fair TO become winner. Hayt, Eyer,
Hutchings and Lock wood are sure can
didates for the sprints. Johnson,
o Hara and Raycraft in the weights
and Barnes, Hutchings and Hayt for
the jumps. With proper training there
is no reason why the Alma high school
athletes should not rank among the
first in the state.
