play of the Economy shoe store at
tracted considerable attention. 1t
was one of the handsomest and neat
est displays seen here in this city
Decorated with remnants and foot
balls, with large framed picture Of
Capt. Johnson of the college team,
the window brought many compli-
ments.
The stores and business places
closed last Friday afternoon for the
Alma-Olivet game. The business men
gathered at Rhodes drug store few
minutes before the game started and
marched to the field in body. s.
l. Bennett lead the procession wav-
ing a large Alma pennant. Next
came large sign with Alma 40,
Olivet 0. painted on it. The men
guessed the score just nine points
short. After the game Mr.. Bennett
presented the team with the hand
some banner, fulfilling the promise
that he made them if they would beat
Olivet.
Many are predicting a large score
for Alma over Detroit University next
Saturday Olivet seems to think that
Alma ought TO defeat them by so
points and that the Maroon and Cream
could give Hillsdale college as bad a
beating as Olivet received last Fri
day. Detroit University has the new
football down 20 a fine point this
year under the excellent coaching of
Coach Roy Campbell, who received
his training at the college here. The
forward pass is dangerous at all times
for it has TO be worked successfully
but once and a-touchdown is almost
certain. OF course Alma should de-
feat the Detroit .team, but when it
comes to doping out the score look
ont and don't back your dope too
strongly.
