Alma High 46-Owosso 7.

Again the speedy Alma eleven
downed their opponents by defeating
the strong Owosso High team on Da-
Wis field last Saturday. The game was
very slow and ragged, due to the fact
that the locals played with a crippled
team; "Pete" Banghart was held out
on account of an injured ankle. This,
however, did not prevent Alma from
piling up large score. The brilliant
open play of the local eleven was the
best ever displayed on Davis Field.
Alma received at the west goal and
returned the ball 20 yards Smith
was sent around right end for II yards
but Alma lost the ball by tumble on
the second down. The visitors tried
open play Immediately but soon lost
the ball on downs. Alma now carried
the ball to the five-yard line by end
runs and line bucks. Mahr fumbled
the ball on the line and Owosso punt
ed out. H. Handley returned the punt
to the 20-yard line. The locals deter
mined to score this time and Captain
liant run around left end. Goal was
kicked. Owosso received and returned
the ball % yards. Two passes made
20 yards more for them, but Alma
gained possession of the ball by re-
covering Owosso's tumble on the first
down. The quarter ended with the
ball in the possession of the locals on
their own 45-yard line. Two passes
and two line smashes brought the ball
on the five-yard line. Smith smashed
through the left side of the line for a
touchdown. Goal was again kicked
and this time Alma received. The
ball was returned AS yards and Sc
ries of plays brought it on the 2-yard
line. Quarterback Handley plunged
through center and crossed the goal
line. Vern missed goal. The half
ended with the score 20 to 0 in favor
of the locals.
In the third period the visitors re-
ceived. They again tried open play,
but were soon checked by Alma's de-
Tense. This quarter the locals showed
splendid form and made three more
touchdowns. The down-state boys
frightened up in the last period of the
game and managed to score touch
down and kick goal Alma crossed the
line again before the whistle blew,
making the score 46 to Z, with the To-
Gals on the long end. Both teams lack
ed team work and had the locals put
up their regular game the score would
undoubtedly have been much larger.
Handley Capt. and Smith featured
for Alma by their brilliant passing and
defensive work. Cummins starred for
the visitors.
Alma's lineup: Blaisdell, LIE; Mus
colt, l.. T.; Wonder, L. g.; Campbell,

ALMA HIGH SCHOOL.

Now that the Alma High School is
well under way, with everything in
smooth working order, it seems very
good opportunity to extend an invita-
tion TO the parents and friends of our
school children,-an invitation intend
ed to reach YOU, and to ask YOU to
visit our school.
There is a tendency on the part Of
parents to let High School strictly
alone, though they feel that their pres
ence is occasionally required in the lower
grades. This tendency is not due so
much to the fact that they have less
interest in their boys and girls as it
is to the belief that their boys and
girls have less need of their close as
ISOLATION with the school. But the
faculty of the High School wishes our
parents to realize the necessity of
their presence at the school house at
least often enough to keep in touch
with what is going on. In that way,
can the best cooperation between the
town and school be obtained.
Last year, dDOuI Jlllo lliiic, ali al
ticle similar to this was written; and
now we cordially repeat the invitation
given last November, requesting to
you drop in" on us occasionally. If
you are a resident Of Alma, this is
your High School; some of your money
helped build it. When you have few
moments to spare, then, avail yourself
of the opportunity to pay us visit.
Last year, our total visiting list
amounted to less than sixty persons
or about one visitor every three or
four days. This year, during 45 school
days, we have received less than a
dozen visits from parents. Will the
parents not come little more often?
We believe you can assist us.
