PLAY NJ. A. c. SATURDAY
On Saturday of this week Coach
! Helmer's pets will meet the strong M
4. c. aggregation at East Lansing, in
what probably will be the hardest
game of the present season.
| The Farmers are as strong as last
! year, according TO dope. Two weeks
ago. Oivet fell before the Aggies by
a larger score than they did last
! year, and the Crimson is thought ia
be at least as strong as a year ago
| Just what kind of a showing Alma
will make cannot be estimated. II is
almost certainty that the Aggies will
play hard against the Maroon and
Cream. Last year the Alma colleg.
ians spoiled, what might have been a
fine record for the Farmers, that OF
going through the season without be-
ing scored on by team in Michigan
Alma kicked that in the head by scor.
ing two touchdowns in almost as many
minutes, thing that not even the
University of Michigan football team
could do against the Aggies.
This year Helmer's men are hoping
to score more than two touchdowns
They may, and again they may not
score any. Only next Saturday car
give the result. and it will find tn,
Alma team fighting hard, TO do some
thing noteworthy.
