COLLEGE WINS


The Alma college basket ball team
defeated the Dit. Pleasant Normals
for a second time this season last Fri
day night, but was forced to go over
time to grab the game from the
scrappy Normal aggregation by a
score Of so to 20.
The game was a rough one through
out, but highly interesting TO the
spectators as the teams were never
more than three points apart, and this
probably had something to do with
making the game rough one.
For the entire game it looked as
though the Normals would make a
spurt which would carry them into
the lead and give them the game, but
the locals held on tight. refusing to
give them lead which might win the
bout, and when time was called the
two teams were tied at 2S points each
This necessitated five minutes Of
over time play and during this time
the locals connected for two baskets
and the Normals were able to secure
just one foul basket, and the Alma
team won the game by score Of
80 to 20.
Smith and Medler were the stars Of
the local aggregation, the former get
ting six field baskets and the latter
three. Taylor with five baskets was
the star Of the Normal five.
