Alma, II 1t Is necessary for him to be
out of the contest
A travelling man, who handed the
clerk IN Burners drug store. a bad
dollar, last Saturday morning, was
given a good going over before he left
Alma. Officers satisfied themselves
that the man was alright before he
left the city. He proved himself to
be all right, and having just the one
bad dollar the officers assumed that
IT was passed on TO him, and that he
did not know that il was a bad piece
OF money.
Tackle hard, hit hard and play hard
are three things that any good foot

week Wednesday and defeated St.
LOUIS. Coach Helmer of Alma col
lege who officiated the game said that
II was good clean game, yet st. Louis
claimed that Alma played dirty foot
ball, and used foul" tactics. Wow OF
course its natural to howl, when de-
feat, but some teams take their defeats
with much more grace than the St.
Louis team has. If memory serves us
right they even kicked when they de-
feated Alma at st. Louis in the open
ing game of theseason. Verify, there is
no satisfying some people One reason
for the howl may be that the St
Louis fans are feeling out in the

With the passing of football last

forced to turn their attention to other
sports and, the sport that will inter
est the greatest number is basketball.
If there were more spacious halls in
which teams could practice and play,
there would be even more interest
manifested than there is now, and bet
ter players would develop.
From a financial standpoint, basket
ball is not a playing proposition in
this city, but this does not deter the
following promoters from being will
ing to take a chance. Coach Hardy,
of the Y. M. c.. A, E. Ccott, of Garri-
son Square team and Prof. r. G.

Plans are under way and, if they ma

sport lovers will see some or all of
these teams pitted against the fast
teams from Lawrence, Topeka and Ell
