received three firsts and has proved
himself beyond all doubt the logical
man to represent Alma at the State
contest. The grafton itself treated
of the woeful conditions of the
social and political realm of govern

being so. At the same time IT
presented the bright side and
suggested some hope for the future.
Mr.. Dunham's delivery was

collected, he drove home his
thoughts and logical climaxes. Alma

Mr.. Lindley, who secured second
place, deserves much credit. His

delivery was excellent and told
story of hard and conscientious
work.
Mr.. Chase presented an able plea

merit cannot be questioned. Mr.

results of sticking to duty rather
than allowing selfish interest to

The game was played according
to A. A. u. instead of Intercol-
legiate rules and this Kindred a
large score from an Alma stand
point, as the team has been coach
ed by Coach Corrithers according
to Intercollegiate rulings. Several
of the teams fouls were due to the
newness of the A. A. u. style of
play.
Phillips very unfortunately turn
ed his ankle in practice just few
minutes before the game and was
not able to play. His position, how
ever, was very well filled by
Hooper who made himself con-

played very strong game and
repeated passes that seemed to be

baskets almost at will.

work that was exceptional for such
