Went Down Before the Fast
Mt. Pleasant Normals
Friday Evening.
WERE BEATEN BY FIVE POINTS
Rough Playing Featured the
Game-BOth Teams Crippled
BY Sickness.

Any one who witnessed the basket
ball game at the high school gym
nasium last Friday night could not
help but be impressed by the fight
that was put up by the Alma col
lege boys. Playing against a team
that was better organized and out
classd them in weight and size, they
certainly put up a remarkable fight
During the first half Of the game
Mt Pleasant started off with four
points and it began to look as though
there WASH going to be much OF a
game. But soon the Maroon and
Cream boys showed that they weren't
asleep and went in to the game with
a spirit that everybody enjoyed. They
soon climbed over the opposing four
points and wound up the first half
with a score of II TO in their favor.
The team work was handicapped TO
great extent by the loss Of Smith,
French and Foote. However their
substitutes played an excellent game,
but being new on the team, many
plays were met with disasterous re-
suits.
The opposing team was also Grip
Piled TO a certain extent by the illness
of their star center.
Spinney and Richards as usual play
ed good game. In fact the majority
of the team are good players individ-
ually but it is the team work and
systematic playing that holds them
back. Richards made four points and
Spinney one in the first half. In the
last half Spinney made three points
and Richards two.
The basket shooting of the Mt.
Pleasant team was something out of
the ordinary. Several times shot
was made from extremely long range.
Barnard the left forward and Hines
who played center were their star
men.
The fact that Barnard used to be
student at Alma and for reasons
of his own went to Mt. Pleasant
caused more or less joking to be poked
at him from the side lines. Also
several members of the local team
seemed to take particular delight
in giving Barnard the rough end
whenever possible. 1t was a more or
less rough game all they way through
The lineup and summary of the
game is as follows:
Alma-19 Pos. Normals-24

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS DEFEATED

In hard fought game last Friday
evening at the high school gymnasium
the Mt. Pleasant Normal Reserves
defeated the local high school team by
a score Of 10 o ~. Emery who
played center on the high school team
played an excellent game. The work
of both teams was excellent and it
was with difficulty that the Reserves
gained the three extra points that
made them the winners.
