College Line Shows Fine Form
But Backfield Still Shows
Weak.

A. A. game from Coach Steele's
green eleven by score of Ii to O,
the Maroon and Cream must be
given credit for showing the best
form. that has been shown on the
grid this season.
The game was not even as much
in favor of Ypsi as the score indi-
Gates as an error of judgment gave
the visiting eleven its first touch
down, and fumbled onside kick,
which Hale let slide through him
paved the way for the second coun-
ter.
Alma started the fray with all
the pep and fight that has marked
the aggregation of former years,
and the hopes of the fans ran high,
and apparently with the best of rea-
son, as it seemed that the green
eleven had really found itself for
the first time this season, such was
the superiority that it displayed over
the visitors at the start.
Ypsi won the toss and received at
the west goal, having strong wind
to her back, which would retard the
Alma kicking. Following the kick
off Alma held the visitors and
forced them to punt, the Almaites
getting the ball in midfield. A
steady march was started, with
castro, Walker and Arbaugh going
the last few yards on a smash
through the Ypsi line. Walker
failed in the attempt at goal. the
ball going wide by about two feet

goal, and failing to make the yard
