The Alma Varsity basketball team
defeated the Lakeview Athletic Club
at that city Monday evening by the
score of 40 to 81. The local team was
outclassed by the Alma boys through
out the game. Coach Bleamaster's new
style of play was tried out to the sat
isfaction Of himself and the team. The
Lakeview huskies could not interpret
the team work of the Alma fellows
nor could they intercept many of the
criss-cross passes which were easily
handled by Bleamaster's well-trained
and speedy quintet. Gallagher led in
basket-shooting, netting eleven bas-
kets from the field. Steggall at right
forward followed a close second with
seven field baskets to his credit. Cook
stayed near his basket and handled
the two Lakeview forwards with a
bulldog tenacity. He mussed up the
greater share of their attempts at
Understanding and starred at all
stages of the game. Wood and Spin
ney also played fast basketball. In
the last half Coach Bleamaster went
into the fray with vim that took the
heart out of the already half-fatigued
Lakeview players. Nesbit replaced
Spinney for a few minutes.
Youngman Of Lakeview was about
the only man who could shoot bas-
ket in spite of the gritty Alma spirit
which was displayed throughout the
entire game. He shot seven field bas-
kets. Charnley also made one basket
for Lakeview in the last half of the
game.
A dance was given after the game

Mt. Pleasant furnished the music.
The team was given complimentary
tickets to the dance. The Lakeview
