tet will meet Adrian and Albion at

tanned that the Maroon and Cream

suffered in the injury that is keeping
Anderson, crack center, from the
games.
The return of Gaffney, Alma's
polar bear, 10 the squad last week,
which resSsted in his being sent to
the center job, and Crittenden going
back to his old guard position, has
seemingly strengthened the team.
causing hope to rise anew in the
minds of the fans, who are backing
the Alma cagers. Crittenden is put
ting up his old reliable guarding
game, and once Captain Tebo hits the
pace that he displayed last year Alma
will have a pair of guards that will
rank with the best that the M. |. A.

sub-guard lost Alma the title last
year This year in the veteran Mills.

ence can be placed, and he will deliver

are all showing improvement at The

better brand of basketball.
With Anderson out of the game
Alma's M. l. A. A. prospects are not
of the best, but the title fight is GER
tain to be hot one from the start
and much can happen. And the fans
can be assured that the Maroon and
Cream will be ready to grab every OPP
portunity that is offered. The team
must wage an uphill fight, it is true.

such fights for the past two years

GREAT GAME
High Scho0lers Lost Fine Contest to

An even split was the result of the
double header in the high school gym
nasium Friday evening, the Alma
Collegians winning from the Union
Truck Company FIVE of Bay City with
ease, the score being 81 to Ia, while
the high school quintet was defeated
in one of the hottest contested high
games ever seen here by the Midland
Tcagers to the tune of Il to Ia.
The high school game was the
feature Of the evening, being one of
the fastest high school games ever
staged on a local court. IL held the
close attention of the crowd through
out.
Midland took the lead right at the
start of the game and held it
throughout, although Alma came
back in the second half and played
the visitors TO a standstill
The Midland team came TO Alma
with a five man defense that COM
pletely baffled the Orange and Black
fast team during the first half, when
Alma annexed just four points, to
Midland's eleven. In the second half
Alma had better luck in solving the
clever defense and scored even with
the visitors, who won their game
through better team play, and de-
served the victory that they secured.
Many believe that the locals did not
play up to form, but it is evident that
the defense of the Midland Ave be-
wildered the Alma team. Time and
again the players demonstrated that
the Alma five was more or less Of a
one-man quintet. as the ball was be-
ing fed to Creech by players who had
better scoring opportunities than did
the high school star.
