MUST REBUILD
Coach Helmer Facing Hard Job al
Seasons Ending.

Coach Harry Helmer of the Alma
college football team is facing a hard
task, right at the end of the college
football season, he is being forced
to rebuild and change his lineup great
~ because of injuries to the men on
the team during the past week.
The loss of Captain Eddie Johnston
at halfback is causing deep concern
and makes necessary a big shift.
Fitch, fullback, will be sent to John
ston's halfback position against Olivet
and Ed. Foote, the Grand Ledge giant,
will play the fullback position. Foote
Is now suffering from a broken nose,
but has given HelmeY the assurance
that ne can take the poundings from
the Olivet crowd and go back for
more. He is fine linesmasher. and
can be depended upon to give Alma
many a yard in the big Saturday
battle.
French will be out of the game with
bad knee and his place will be
taken by Lott of Ithaca. Lott has not
got the game down pat yet. but is "A
hard fighter and will be able to give
a good account of himself in the
game with Crimson. He put up
nice brand of football against the
Aggie scrubs last Saturday and the
fans are pinning big hope on him.
The defense is being changed to
meet the Crimson style of attack and
with a strong line, Alma is expecting
to put up a great game both on de-
fense and offense. The Alma team
Is not predicting victory over the
Crimson, owing to the injuries which
have hurt the teams chances during
the past week, but are preparing to
put a great battle for the days hon

DRUB NORMALS
College Took Mt. Pleasant Into Camp
Again on Wednesday.

On Wednesday of this week Coach
Helmer took his new football team To
Mt Pleasant for practice game with
the Mt Pleasant Normals and the
Maroon and Cream brigade smashed
through the Teachers almost at will,
scoring 40 points against for the
Normals in a short quarter game.
Quarterback Smith did not get in
to the bout, as Coach Helmer would
take no chances on the midget get
ting laid out before the two most
important Michigan Intercollegiate
games of the season and Hebert di-
rected the play during the entire
game. AS soon as Helmer satisfied
himself that his new lineup could
deliver the goods, he started putting
in scrubs, who might be needed in any
of the coming three games, and still
the scoring went merrily one. The
Teachers simply could not stop the
Maroon and Cream.
French was out of the game also,
he having a bad knee, but the prob
abilities are that he will be able to
get into the game with Olivet on Sat
urday.
