CRIPPLED TEAM
TWICE DEFEATED
College Five Badly Whipped by
Hope and Grand Rapids
"Y" Elves.

Crippled badly, the Alma College
basket ball team was no match for
either Hope College in Friday
nights fray at Holland, or Grand
Rapids "I" at the Furniture City
Saturday night, the first game being
lost 81 to 10 and the second fray 81
to 20, spirited rally against Grand
Rapids failing to turn the result, al
though Alma outscored the "Y" al
most to in the last half.
Without the services Of Captain
Dahlgren, Jimmy Beattie or Hawk
shaw" French, the Almaites were in
no condition for the game against
Hope College, which has one Of the
fastest aggregat,ons Of basket toss
ers in the state, and although the
crippled quintet put up a fine strug-
gle against the hopeless odds, it was
forced 10 take 81 TO 10 defeat.
In the first half the Maroon and
Cream fighters were unable to locate
the baskets, and the half finished
with Hope leading the Presbyterians
2s to 2. In the second half the Ma
room and Cream got its bearings, and
held the Dutchmen to smaller score
than they rolled up in the first half,
and also counted eight points for
themselves.
The fray at Grand Rapids against
the "Y' on Saturday night found the
Maroon and Cream still badly Grip
pied and during the initial half Of
the game the Furniture City aggre-
cation had things very much its own
way, rolling up II points, while the
best that Steele's cripples could do
was 3 points.
The fourteen point lead that was
taken in the first half was pulled
down to just half Of that amount be-
fore the game came to an end, the
Maroon and Cream warriors putting
up a hard struggle in the second half,
which allowed them to completely
eutscore the Grand Rapids cagers in
the final half Alma counted II
points in this half to 10 for the Fur
aiture City quintet.
Waggoner and Kirker were the
features Of the Alma play on the dis
astrous two day trip that brought
the 1921 basketball season to a close.

HOLDS PROPERTY IN TRUST
Man Enjoying What is Known as
Usufruct Has Benefits and Fee
sponsibilities Under Law.

Our word usufruct is derived from
two Latin words usus, use. and fruc-
rus, fruit. The Latins combined them
into usufructus, the equivalent of our
word usufruct. which is a term Of
law, especially Of the Roman law and
Of those systems based on Roman law.
Usufruct is the right of enjoying
things belonging TO another. and of
drawing from them all the profit and
advantage they will produce without
destroying or wasting their substance.
One title OF the civil code of the
province of Quebec deals with usu.
iruct. This right may be established
by law or by the will OF man. sim
pie example would be this: A person
wills the ownership of farm To
son, but the usufruct to a brother for
his lifetime. The brother enters M
once upon the enjoyment of his usu-
sfrnct and is called the. usufructuary.
re cultivates the farm and takes the
revenue, subject TO the obligation of
