HOPE FAILS To
! TROUBLE ALMA
MAROON AND CREAM, PLAYING
RAGGED GAME DOES NOT
GIVE DUTCH CHANCE.


Although displaying the most rag
Red work on offcnse that the Maroon
and Cream has shown yet this season,
Coach Campbell's green Alma College
aggregation, using straight football,
mixed once in while with spread
formation by way of variation, had
no trouble in defeating Hope College
Saturday on Davis field by score of
80 to 0.
Although Albion said, "the game
will give a comparison of the strength
q of Alma and Hillsdale," local fans
feel that the score should have at
least been doubled, so Albion's dope
on the unreliable comparative score
basis means little. 1--WE should worry
about the size Of the scores"
The Dutchmen never had a look in,
making just one first down during the
entire contest. The Alma defense
was working in fine style, and kept
the Hollanders punting every time
that they got the ball. 1t was seldom
that three downs gave the visitors
five yards.
One of the most pleasing features
of the entire game was the fact that
Handley has evidently hit form for
the first time this season. He dis
played the best work that he has
shown this year. He was ably second
ed by "Red" Carly, Anderson and
Wright behind the line. On the line
Hunter, McNaughton, Tate and Tar
rant were the features.
Alma received to start the game
and marched the ball down the field
to the Hope goal, only to tumble and
lose it to the Dutch. Hope punted
and Alma carried the oval back and
lost it on another tumble. Hope again
punted and the Almaites smashed
back, Carly going the final few yards
for the touchdown, after II minutes
Of the quarter had been played. Carly
missed the goal.
In the second quarter Alma still
showed fumbling propensities, which
proved costly, but they did not keep
the Maroon and Cream from showing
over counter in this period. After
losing the ball to Hope on the goal
line, the Dutch punted to Carly, who
returned the punt 3S yards, placing
the ball in fine scoring position.
Anderson smashed four yards for the
counter. Handley missed goal.
To start the second half Californian
received and carried the ball 20 yards
before being laid low by Hope, on the
Alma 40 yard line. Alma fumbled,
Hope getting the ball. Hope attempt
ed to open up the aerial game, which
Handley killed in its inception. He
grabbed a Hope pass on the Alma
thirty yard line, and running behind
good interference went 70 yards to
the Hope goal for a counter. He then
kicked the goal.
Californian received and carried the
ball to midfield. He passed to An
derson for % yards, starting march
that continued until Hope held Alma
for downs on the Dutch 4 yard line.
Hope punted and Californian brought
the ball back to the 10 yard line.
Wright and Foster smashed the Dutch
line, Wright going over on the fourth
play for the counter. Wright goaled.
In the fourth quarter Alma used a
few more passes, two going to Wright
for twenty yards each. Wright then
located a big hole that the line had
made and went through Hope 90
yards for a touchdown. Beam missed
the goal.
Alma used % men, or enough for
two complete teams during the game.
Hunter was the only man to play the
entire fray. This naturally had much
to do with keeping the score down.
The fact that the Ypsi team, which
played Mt. Pleasant Saturday morn
ing, was on the sidelines made it ne
cessary for the eleven to hold to
straight football during the entire
game.
