LOSSES HARD GAME

Continued from Page One.)
little. Gallagher had to be content
e,: with one field basket and Smith
with three. The feature from the
Alma standpoint was the work of Ed.
Foote at center during the second
half. Foote garnered two field bas-
kets and held his center to one,
whereas he had scored three Of those
counters in the first half Gallagher
worked well from the foul line also
in the game. securing ten out of four
teen tries.
1t is perhaps worthy of note that
the guards OF the Hope team, never
got a field basket. This shows that
the Alma forwards were keeping the
guards busy most of the time. 1t is
seldom that the Hope guards go
through a game without scoring field
baskets.

ANOTHER DEFEAT
High School Team Lost to Normal
Subs in Close Bout.

Crippled with the loss OF Smith and
Stauffer, both of them ill., the Alma
high school basket ball team was in
poor shape for its game with the Mt.
Pleasant Normal Second team last
riiay night, and lost TO the Teachers
by a score of l8 TO l6
At times the work of the locals
looked good, but during the first half
and portion of the final session, the
team play was SO bad as to be pass
ed description. At one stage Of the
second half, however, the team work
ed in fine shape and gained consider
able ground on the Normals, and had
it not been for couple of lucky shots
in the last couple minutes might have
had an edge on the Normals.
The Normalites led Alma ii to at
the end Of the first half Then Alma
started out to regain the lost ground
and gradually gained it, then tied the
Teachers and finally on foul took a
one point lead. For several minutes
the ball went back and forth across
the gym, and it looked as though AL
ma would win. With couple min
utes left to play, Lake Of the Nor
nal crew shot a couple spectacular
baskets from the boor and put the
game on ice.
Howe and Medler were the big nose
for the local brigade, while rambling
starred for the Normals.

such was the experience IN the light
Of which we were called upon recent
ly TO bid for sixteen-inch shells.
We bid on these shells at approx
mstely the same rate per pound Al
that OF a fourteen-inch shell contrac,
Of one year ago upon which the Gov
eminent awarded contracts.

We bid Oh the new Dattle-cruisers
sums which Navy department experts.
after examination OF our books. found
would yield n profit OF less than ten
per cent. We agreed 10 assume risks
for increased costs OF materials and la
Dor. that made It possible that these
contracts might yield no profit what
ever
The costs run beyond the amount APP
propriated 10y Congress on the basis ~
the cost estimates made a year ago.
And because shipbullders could not
alter the memorable cost facts and re
duce bids to early estimates Of the
Navy Department. the prices are called
"exorbitant
II would be real advantage to be
relieved OF this naval construction. The
profit from It cannot possibly amount
to much. and the responsibility is enoY-
nous
We have determined to make this
offer to the American Government
III you will build two Of the battle
cruisers in Government navy yards.
we will build the other two st the a.
certained cost OF building the ships In
the Government yards, without add
tienal expense or commissions Of any
kind. We will also contract to have
eur ships ready for service sAsaA OF
the Government ships.

We have not the slightest idea what
profit there Will be i'll the making OF
these shells We do not know that
there will be any. There is no certain
ty that 1t would be possible for us 70
deliver a shell TO meet the test.
For officers in the Navy 10 assume
that any bid made under such condi-
tons Is "exorbitant' Is utterly unfair
