BEAT TRIANG[Es
! IN FINAL GAME
SAGINAW OUTFIT PROVES EASY
PICKING ROR FAST ALMA
QUINTET

The Alma collegians closed the bas-
ket ball season Friday evening with
walloping the Saginaw Triangles to
the tune of 81 t. p, the locals taking
the same high grade brand Of basket
never being headed by the visiting
cagers.
The local aggregation did not show
the lead at the start Of the game and
ball that was displayed the previous
week when Alma pricked the highly
inflated Mt. Pleasant Normal balloon
with Al to % score, but it was not
necessary to play such a stellar game
as the locals were at all times in COM
mand of the situation. Such was the
ease with which the locals had things
that numerou substitutions were
made, every man in a uniform getting
a chance to show his wares to the
crowd, giving the fans something to
speculate over as regards the possible
make. up of the 1929 basket ball
team.
Alma started in the scoring column
first and quickly took a good lead, and
then the Trianglcs threatened for the
first and only time during the fray.
With the initial session about half
gone, Huebner started ringing few,
and with Spencer mailing foul and
Hackctt field basket, the Saginaw
five brought the count up to 10 and
with Alma leading. Alma quickly
went to the front again without any
difficulty, the half ending with Alma
leading Is to 10.
In the second half Alma continued
to lead the visitors and piled up the
same margin of points over the Tri-
angles that they had made during the
first half.
Johnston was the only Alma man
who played the entire game. The
elongated center, laying back under
the Triangles' basket, tipped eight Of
them into the netted circle and led in
the scoring for the night. This is the
seventh consecutive encounter in
which the Northern Michigan "bean
pole" has been engaged, and during
this time he has nailed total of 50
field baskets, which probably consti-
tutcs a record for a member of team
in the VI. |. A. A.
Few fouls were called during the
fray by Referee Lyons, five on the
local team and three on the Triangles.
Three different men essayed to score
from the foul line for Alma and each
added a point in this way.
Aside from Johnston, the heavy
scorers were Hickerson, another new
conner to the team this past semester,
and Red the McCarty, who is minus
the mick"
For the Trianglcs Huebner was the
the big star. The Saginaw center
scored four field baskets and played
good floor game.

Local Team q
Winner TlUice

Stage fright on the part Of the AL
ma high school men competing i'm the
central Michigan basket ball tourna-
ment at Mt. Pleasant for the first
time, is believed to be responsible to
great measure for the fact that the
local aggregation was put out of the
running in the tournament last Thurs
day evening, in which Greenville, a
team which the locals have previously
beaten on their own floor, copied the
tournament honors.
Alma drew Hart for her first game
Thursday evening. In the afternoon
the Alma team drew bye and
watched Hart humble Ithaca. The
margin was small and it is probable
that Alma was faced with combi-
nation of confidence against Hart as
well as having a feeling Of stage
fright on the big Normal floor before
some hundreds of fans. Hart went
into the lead and finished the first half
points ahead Of the locals In the
final half Alma started to trail, but
finally got going and made things in
teresting for the Hart team. The mar
gin to pull down was too great, how
ever, and the locals were eliminated
10 to -.
Friday morning Alma was sent
against Gladwin in the consolation
tournament, winning 10 to in a short
time game.
In the afternoon at 300 o'clock the
locals were matched with Bad Axe
which Greenville had defeated by a
single point. Alma had things hen
own way, winning 13 to 6. At 400
o'clock Alma was asked to play hei
third game of the day, against the
Mt. Pleasant Indians, and with moth
ing to gain, and the possibility OF

coo in 1910 to 28,000 at present: the total population from 60O0O to 54,OOO
 The Territory is being conserved to the point of exhaustion. From a business view point 1t is being laid flat. And this at time when the fresh wealth of any new land would be to American industry and enterprise like water to a stricken deer; as time when other governments are securing the earth and shedding blood to secure just such virgin ter ritorv for the business benefit of their people,
 A loan to help develop Czecho-Slovakla IS in prospect The preliminary literature has begun to appear. Apparently the United Sta tes government approves the loan; otherwise the transaction would not be attempted.
 Right here comes the issue: Would 1t be better for American business and American breadwinners to put the money in Czecho-Slo- vagian development? Would the American government be best doing it's duty by promot- ing Czecho-Slovakian business in Czecho- Slovakia or America business in Alaska?
 By promoting business in Alaska of course.
 Then why not promote it? Why not remove the dead hand but the red tape and by meas ures that are no longer prohibitive but merely protective, let the resources of this great Ter ritory be brought under the magic touch oil American enterprise.

POINT WITH PRIDE

When Democrat tells you the Republican has done nothing, ask him to compare records with the preceding Demo- cratic administration during its first twelve months. He will cite as Democratic accomplish ments the Underwood tariff law which demor- alized our markets, and the Federal Reserve Act the results of which are being denounced by Democratic leaders in both houses of Con gress. Republican legislation and administra tion have brought the nation far enough back to normal so that Liberty bonds which sold for S5 cents on the dollar in the Wilson ad are nor worth 97, we are reduc ing instead of increasing our national debt, we are taking adequate care of the disabled and incapacitated veterans, we have checked undesirable immigration, established a nation al budget, discontinued a large part of burden some bureaucracy, regained our former high place in international counsels and led the world into an international agreement for peace and reduction of armament
