TEACHERS TIGHTEN IN THE
LAST HALF.

Alma's best over the week end was
split in her two Michigan Intercol-
legate games, the Maroon and Cream
swapping Olivet under a 81 to 8
count Friday evening and losing Sat
urday night to the Michigan State
NOrmals five, undefeated in the NJ l.
A. A. race by score of 10 TO l3.
Olivet never had look-in in the
Friday night contest, being unable to
score point until after Coach Camp
bell had showed four substitutes into
the fray, after which the Crimson
managed to break through once in a
great while for counter or two. The
brilliant victory was just partial
atonement for the football defeat suf-
fered at the hands of the Congrega-
tionalists last fall.
Before five minutes of the fray had
been played the score stood II TO o
for the Maroon and Cream and Coach
Campbe". started running subs into
the lineup with a view of keeping the
regulars as fresh as possible for the
lpsi fray Saturday night. Crittenden
was the only regular to hold his place
when the change was made. The line
up continued this way for the balance
Of the half, at which time the Pres
byterians were leading the Crimson
five p to s.
When the second half started John
son was sent back to center to get a
little more seasoning in his first NJ. |.
A. A. game and Wright replaced
Crittenden. The subs continued to
pile up the score on Olivet with ease.
With the final session about half gone
the regulars went back into the fray
and continued to pile up the score on
the Crimson.
The entire Olivet team was helpless
against the Alma attack, even to
Dove, Crimson guard, who was named
on the NJ. |. A. A. team last year.
On defense Crittenden and Shaver
played strong games, particularly the
former. Wright, Johnson, Carly and
Kirker led the scoring attack

High School Wins
OUer GreenUille

Alma Highs basket ball team COW
cred itself with considerable credit
Friday evening when for the first time
an Alma court team defeated Green
vile High on the Greenville court, the
Orange and Black five taking a hard
fought battle by a two point margin,
the final score being 20 10 ia.
All during the game the score was
close, either team being able to make
sure of the contest by few lucky
baskets, but the close guarding of the
Greenvillites prevented Alma getting
them by lucky shots, AMI the Alma
guards were just as determined to
keep Greenville away from the basket
on the lucky counters. As it was the
game went strictly on its merits. Al
ma led by "A single point at the end
of the half, which ended to s.
In the second session the two teams
continued TO battle on about even
terms Alma being able to increase the
margin just one lone point. In the
final half, as the game neared its end,
the fray became more fiercely fought
as Greenville's five attempted to gain
lead, but hard work on the part of
the Alma elan continued to hold the
Grecnville team in check.
So hard was the fighting that num-
crous personal fouls were called by
Referee Chamberlain of Mt. Pleasant
Normal, most of them on the Green
Vile team. Just before the fray end
ed, Fleck, Greenvilles high scorer,
was sent from the game on personals.

He Adds, Not Delegated to
Them by Law; Cites Abuses.

The majority of bail bonds in
the District are unlawfully and
invalidly made out because re-
leases of prisoners are authorized
by the clerk of the court and not
the judge, with whom it is q dis
cretionary power to fix bond and
release alleged criminals. Under
present conditions the bondsman
cannot be held responsible when
person Jumped" bonds. u
Charges By Attorney. =
These allegations are. made by
Charles L. Carson. prominent local
attorney, in a brief submitted to
Chief Justice Walter 1. Mccoy. Vi
Supreme Court; Daniel Sullivan,
chief Of police. and Judge John +.
Mcmahon, Of Police Court. Sd
The brief contends that bondsmen
are acting In the capacity Of al
torneys when they represent the de-
fendant in an application for bail.
as is the practice among the
sureties.
Mr.. Carson showed proof that bail
bond could only be set on the ap-
plication of the accused, personally
or through an attorney, and only
after he had been heard by the
court. He pointed out that the
power to release does not reside in
the executive officers, as clerks,
sheriffs and the like. and declared
that II this power were vested in
court clerks, then 1t would be vested
In the porters or scrub women also.
The attorney cited q case in
which q bondsman was held ire
sponsible by a criminal court judge
when one of his clients absconded
the Jurisdiction of the court, because
the lerk had signed a release.
Cannot Delegate Power.
The District code gives the power
Of setting bail to the judiciary. the
brief said. This power cannot oe
delegated or transferred to any
executory officer, according to Mr..
Carson.
Under the present system bonds
men secure a short transcript Of
the record of a case from the desk
sergeant and go to the clerk Of the
court or one Of the deputy clerks to
have the amount of bond deter
mined, obtaining an order for the
release OF the prisoner without even
the slightest knowledge of the
judges, according to the brief.
