the evening. 722. Play started at
o'clock and the second floor was
crowded with players and spectators
until midnight. the extra pairs. about
fifty in number. being listed for to-
night
Young ElIett's work was OF the SEN
satiouaI order, as he started poorly
in his first game. but improved with
each box and finished in brilliant
style. his three games being III, 12I
and I34. The couple is probably out
of danger of being headed, but had
the total scores would have been near
the 500 mark.
Sam Blumenthal deserves the sym
pathy of his friends, as he was un-
fortunate in being hooked up with
Cornelius, who experienced one of his
bad nights and failed to help out.
Cornelius started nicely with l1J. but
fell below the 100 mark in the next
two games. Blumenthal boWled bril-
ii4ntly throughout and to the aston
iShment OF everybody outpointed

over 12S in his first game. 11S in the
second and then jumped up TO 1871 in
the third, a wonderful exhibition of
accuracy and nerve, especially the
latter. as the spectators were yelling
like Indians at every strike or spare.

WINS WAR CROSS
Koepfgen. Alma College Ace is
Honored by Nation.

Among the many Alma sons who
have taken active part in the war, is
one who has received two of the
highest honors it is possible TO re-
ceive in the country's service. Leslie
p. Koepfgen, class II, has been
awarded the Distinguished Service
Cross and has gained the title of
Ace, having shot down several aero
planes. His experience in this serv-
ice was very interesting and remark
able. One time he was nearly taken
prisoner. His plane had been shot
down by the Germans and had it not
been for the sudden gains Of the
Allies he would have been captured.
While in college Koepfgen was an
all round athlete, probably the best
that Alma has ever had. He played
on all Of the colieg teams, football,
base ball and basketball. He also
made a brilliant record in track.
After being graduated from Alma
he accepted a position as principal
of high school at Newberry. There
he was thought so highly of that
after one year he was made super
intendent. He resigned to enter
government service and was only in
service a few weeks when he was
made lieutenant. He was asked to
give Instructions in aviation, but was
so determined to 20 across that he
soon did and his services there are
still supporting his old NJ. /. A. A
records.
There is one other Alma man that
we know Of who has received the ID
S. c., namely, James Norman King
whose work was mentioned in last
weeks issue of The Albanian.

GOOD CANDIDATES
ASK NOMINATIONS
Continued from page one)


this spring Being the only candi-
date for the office his election is as
sured, for a second term. This time,
however, like the other candidates,
he will have no party utilization, the
election being non-partisan one.
For the office of supervisor in the
various wards three of the present
supervisors have petitions filed for
themselves as candidates, these being
Jesse F.. Fuller in the first ward,
Nick +. Saad in the second ward and
j. ID. Holman in the fourth ward.
Charles PloWman. the present candi-
date in the third ward, is not a candi-
date this year, and petition was
filed for A. K. Smith for this office.
AS these men have no opposition,
they are certain TO be next super
visors of these wards.
There seems to be absolutely no
question, but what most of the men
up for public Office in Alma this year
are the strongest men who could
have been selected. and the race be-
tween the various candidates is Ger
tain TO be spirited one, although II
is doubtful if many of them turn a
hand TO secure the election.
The first of the week because of a
desire to save the expense of holding
the primary election for the city, j.
NJ. Montigel endeavored to withdraw
from the race, as commissioner for
a short term leaving in the running
only the number of candidates who
could be nominated. The council was
called together in special session last
night. and heard the opinion of City
Attorney Spinney on the matter. He
ruled that the initiatory petition hav-
ing been filed, that Mr.. Montigsl
could not withdraw.
The spirit shown by Mr.. Montigel,
in endeavoring to save the city the
cost of the primary election, was that
which has always actuated him in
public Office and is certain TO win him
still more friends. and will probably
make him a contender in the primary
race whom the other candidates will
be forced TO watch.
