BASKET BALL TITLE

The basket bail season for the Alma

Friday night of this week, when the
Maroon and Cream Stacks up against
the undefeated Kalamazoo college
quintet on The high school floor. An
added attraction is also billed for that
night, this being clash between
Owosso and Alma high schools
The Kalamazoo team seems To have
the Michigan intercollegiate cham
pionship sewed up tight, having won
every game that it played this year,
including FIVE NJ l. A. A. battles. The
Kazooites have, what is probably the
strongest basket ball team in the state
this year, and without question the
strongest basket ball team that the
Nj. l. A. a. ever saw. They will come
to Alma tomorrow confident of win

cinching the championship

with the possible exception of Smith,
who lost his basket shooting eye last
week. II is expected that he will re-
turn TO form on the local floor this
week, and thus give Helmer three
good basket shooters.
Alma's guarding 10 win must be Of
the highest order. as the champions
have the two best basket shooters
in the state.
Kalamazoo has thrown out chal-
lenge to any team in the state, 10 play
for the state title, which will make Il
victory for Alma that much sweeter
If it can be secured.
The preliminary attraction, Owosso
VS.. Alma high, should also be a good
game. 1t is thought that the two
teams are on about a par, so that the
local high school lads will have their
hands full to wrench out a victory.
Owing to the Lyceum course com
ing the same night the games will be
called at 700 p. m.

The defeat at Hillsdale almost makes

of Alma defeating Kalamazoo twice
are exceedingly slim.
One of the biggest factors in the
defeat at Hillsdale was the way the
