NORMALS COUNT FOUR TOUCH
DOWNS ON COACH CAMP
BELLS AGGREGATION.

superior to what the Maroon and
Cream expected, the Mt. Pleasant
Normals furnished a real surprise
Wednesday afternoon when they bat
tered and passed their way up and
down Davis field for four touch
downs and then heaped insult to the
injuries by kicking the four result
ant goals, winning 2S to 0.
Excuses could be offered, such as
the team was not in shape after the
hard Ypsilanti game, which would
be true, or that McNaughton and
others were injured and out of the
lineup, and that would be true. The
fact remains that Mt. Pleasant lit
orally played rings around the Alma
ties in every department of the game
and well earned the victory that they
won. Coach Parker and his men are
not responsible for the game that
Alma put up-they were busy play
ing their own game every minute.
Mt. Pleasant started with a rush
and carried the ball from the kickoff
we'll into Alma territory. Then be-
ing held for three downs Cox punted
over the Alma goal. 1t was Almas
ball on her own twentyyard mark.

Pleasant got 2 yards in three downs
and punted. Alma couldn't gain and
punted again. Mt. Pleasant carried
the ball to the Alma II yard line

itors on the fourth down attempted
a pass and it failed, Alma getting
the ball on her own 20. From her
20 yard mark Beam, Anderson and
Wright crashed through Mt. Pleas
ant for two first downs when time
was called.

her own SO yard mark on the third
play of the second quarter. After
making first down on the Alma 49
yard line, Mt Pleasant was forced
to punt. Alma carried the ball back
8 yards to the "a yard line and a
foolish looking attempt to kick saw

cure it. 1t was the big break of the
game. Using Cox and Ziegler TO
smash the line Mt. Pleasant started
march to the Alma goal Cox made
first down on the Alma II after
several smashes. Ziegler made
yards and Cox added 3. Sartor was
boxed and Cox crashed over his end
for touchdown. BuI1iham goaled.
