Alice's home. 1t was not exact

u tie bob-haired girl so much Joy
that she looked upon it as the most
wonderful plaything she had ever
possessed. 1t was a big aquarium
filled with real. live goldfish.
Alice had never seen such big
tank before. She would stand before
it for hours and watch the swift
movement and the graceful action OF
the little fish. Indeed, she grew so
fond of the new pets that she almost
forgot old Trixie, the big spotted cat
who had been Alice's playmate since
the time when she was a little baby
and Trixie was only little kitten.
But Trixie seemed not to fee

that the old kitty was just as much
interested as Alice herself was in those
beautiful goldfish. Trixie would lool

TO TAKE ROAD TRIP
Basketball Five Will Travel to Hills
dale and Kalamazoo.

There is apparently no hope Of the
Alma College basket ball team break
ing into the victory column in the
Michigan Intercollegiate race, as
Woods midgets will battle against
Hillsdale and Kalamazoo quintets on
foreign floors.
The second game Of the season
with Hillsdale is to be played Friday
night in the small Blue and White
gymnasium. The Kalamazoo game
Saturday night in kalamazoo, will be
the first meeting with Youngs five
this season.
Alma will be in better shape for
these games than was the case "a
gainst Hillsdale Friday night, but it
is extremely doubtful if the five can
be bolstered sufficiently to stop the
attack of either of the teams that are
to be played. Gaffney, center, and
Crittenden, Alma's clever guard, who
were unable TO get into the Friday
night game here, are expected to both
be back i'm the Maroon and Cream
lineup, and will strengthen the qun-
tet to some extent, but even then
there is little likelihood of victory
coming TO Alma in either game.
Coach Young has been laying claim
to the strongest five that Kalamazoo
hoe ot-a,. bai apd &c tbtc &c t,,to u ola
mazoo has great aggregation. On
ly last week the Orange and Black
defeated Hope on the Hope floor, a
team that defeated Alma here. Hills
dale's wide margin victory in the
game in Alma Friday night, would
seemingly preclude the basing of any
hopes of coping off the Friday night
game at Hillsdale.

HILLSDALE VICTOR
Five Defeated By Blue and
White Quintet.

Playing against team of six foot
ers, who had their basket shooting
eyes, Coach Woods Alma College
midgets were helpless Friday night
and went down to a 80 to IL defeat on
the local floor before the Hillsdale
College aggregation in Michigan
Intercollegiate game, that marks an
other step towards the rag by the
undefeated Blue and White quintet.
The Alma quintet was crippled Sc
riously for the bout by the temporary
loss of Gaffney, center, and Crtten-
den. rated as one of the finest guards
in the M. |. A. A., but in the face of
this handicap, and the half dozen
other considerations, which entered
into the final result, the Maroon and
Cream warriors put up a splendid
fight against big odds, the work of
Richards at center, Tebo at guard, be-
ing perhaps the finest features from
the Alma standpoint. Every man on
the team is deserving of considerable
credit, however. as every man played
a sterling game, and fought his best
Hillsdale constantly got the jump
on the tipoffs, whether at center, or
on a held ball, her bunch of giants
thus being able to keep the ball
out Of the Alma quintet for the
greater part of the game. Had it not
been for this. and the fact that the
Blue and White warriors had their
caging eyes, different story might
have been told, as the floor work of
the crippled Alma five seemed to
work smoother than that of the visit
ors when Woods midgets had the
ball, brute strength having much to
do with the final outcome.
On the offense Ely, Crime and
Beard featured for the visitors, the
trio dropping in field baskets from
any and every part of the floor.
In the first half the Alma five did
not seem to pull together and the
session ended with Hillsdale leading
25 to 6. In the final frame, however,
Alma put up great defense against
the tall cagers of the Blue and White
holding them to fourteen points. The
Alma offense, however, could not get
started against Hillsdale, only five
points being registered in the final
frame by the Maroon and Cream.

"To the people of Alma:

Because it has an important bear
ing on civic welfare in Alma as well
as on individual welfare in countless
cases, l feel it my duty TO call at
tention to the well-conceived plan for
a Father and Son Week
"The purpose is admirable. Any
thing that tends to bring father and
son closer together in friendly spirit
can not but be beneficial to them
selves and TO the community.
81 believe that fathers can do more
than any others to stem the great
and alarming tide Of dropping out
OF school, which carries many boys
out into the world unfit for progress
and prosperity or public service.
"Many boys grow to manhood vir-
tually ignorant of even the simplest
processes of government. These every
father can explain to his son. The
son, in every case, should become
better than his father, for that marks
progress.
"The Week that is coming will
suggest many ways In winch fathers
may gain completely the confidence
of their sons, with all that means Of
effective guidance and unresented
control.
~. therefore. call upon the fathers
of this city and request their CO.
operation in this important move
ment by attending with their sons at
least one of the meetings to be held
during the Father and Son Week |

befriend the boys who have no faith
