STUDENTS STAGE
BIC CELEBRATION
ALMA SPIRIT RUNS HIGH AS
CRATES AND BOXES GO UP
IN SMOKE.

Alma witnessed the biggest cee-
bration in years Saturday night when
the college turned out in rejoicing
over the winning Of the NJ. | A. A.
Championship. The affair was stag
ed in two parts, the Victory Parade
and bonfire downtown first, and later
in the night a more hilarious recep-
ton TO the team as it arrived on the
bus.
Promptly at 1000 p. m. the men
and women assembled at Wright Hall
and were provided with banners bear
ing appropriate inscriptions The corner
in front of Murphy's drug store had
been selected in advance, and when
the riotious students arrived truck
load of boxes was ready for the
sacrifice. AS soon as the circle had
been formed, the huge pile of fuel
was touched off. Another truck
load of boxes was piled on making
the biggest bonfire that Alma has
seen in many moons. Yells were
given Justify, and many fiery orators
responded with the old "Alma Pep"
Prexy was dragged OIL the scene of
action and give a short talk, and was
followed by "Ham" Durham who
predicted four pennants for next year.
In conclusion the college song was
sung, and a snake dance, to Wright
Hall ended the first part of the pro-
gram.
AT midnight the curtain rose on the
second act. All the men of the col
lege were on hand to greet the team.
AS the old st. Johns bus rolled
across the bridge, a thousand giant
fire crackers were set off, and colored
fire was burned in profusion along
the curb to the Paris Cafe where the
team disembarked. The team was
escorted to Davis Field amid a
pandemonium of noise. Another
fire was kinded, the flames leaping
skyward as if trying to overtake the
screaming rockets which rent the
darkness above with their trails Of
sparks and bursting stars. More
yells were given and then the games
were played all over again around
the fire. 1t was tired happy bunch
that rolled in at two o'clock that
morning. The old Alma Spirit still
reigns supreme.

Glare Is HunbIed
By AImd's Nine

Alma high had no trouble in dis
posing of Clare high in game at
Clare Tuesday evening, Dick setting
down the Clare aggregation in easy
fashion, while Alma pounded the
offerings of the Clare hurler to all
corners of the diamond, the hits COM
ing thick and fast in the Is to vic
tory.
Dick, the freshman hurler, was not
forced to exert himself to any great
extent after the first few innings of
play, as the Alma team pounded out
good lead right at the start of
the fray, and the local hurler was
never in danger of losing his con-
test.
Alma hit the Clare hurlers almost
at will, everything from two home
runs down to singles being piled up
in the hit column that the Alma team
ran up.

High School Winner
OUer Shepherd Nine

Alma Highs baseball team con-
tinued in the race for the champion
ship of the Central Michigan league
of high schools last Thursday by de-
feating Shepherd High to Z, after
a rally in the late innings of the
game that pulled down four run
lead that the visitors had taken, and
which seemingly had started the local
aggregation on the downward path.
To Dick, fifteen year old freshman
hurler must go considerable of the
credit for the game. True the visit
ors made seven runs during the fray,
but the little freshman hurler had
very little to do with these runs, blobs
by his supporting cast in three or
four different innings paving the way
for the runs. The little lad also piled
up nice bunch Of strikeouts during
the game, and in six different innings
cut down the first man at the plate

Serious Accident
EnrOUte to Albion

Few people would care to take a
chance on going through an automo-
bile accident in which an automobile
travelling at a good rate of speed
turns turtle, pinning five occupants
beneath it, but that is what Alma
athletes did last Thursday enroute to
Albion for the track meet and base
ball finals.
Johnston, Alma center fielder, and
track man, was driving the automo-
bile, when at a point about eight
miles north of st. Johns, the car
struck a patch Of loose dirt and went
into the ditch, turning turtle and pin
ming the five athletes beneath it.
Handley, finally managed to crawl
from under the wreck in some way,
which even he cannot explain. Then
alone and unaided, he raised up the
Nash touring car so that the other
men could extricate themselves. Later
after the excitement was over four
men could not raise the car.
Wright, first baseman of the Alma
tNdiit Ndo ~ otNCItly IlldI ut
was left at a hospital in st. Johns
for treatment, where it was later
found that his injuries, while painful,
were not of such a severe nature as to
cause him to be confined to the hos
pital more than few days. He will
be brought to Alma tonight.
The other four men, Hickerson,
Californian, Johnston and Handley,
went on to Albion with the other men
of the baseball and track teams.
Somewhat nervous from the exper-
fence, sore and bruised, these men
went into the track meet and into
the baseball contests, and did noble
work for the Maroon and Cream.
Such is the stern stuff that the
men of Alma are composed of, the
stern, grim, fighting determination
that knows no defeat. Is it to be
wondered that such a baseball team
won all the honors in sight at AL
bion? Is it surprising that Alma stu
dents turned out to do honors to their
Champions Saturday night?

H. l.. White claims that wheel
tracks on the greens are the most
difficult hazards he ever encountered
on any course.
Ernie Seig is the proud possessor
of a new set Of special face wooden
clubs, with which he claims it is i'm
possible to hook or slice. Weren't

No. / fairway last night, Ernie?
Bob Swiss has the high woolens.
the Knockers, fine set of clubs and
the latest book on golf. But he still
lacks a forty for the new nine.
Alma players seem to come of a
race of long hitters. What member,
for instance, cannot truthfully claim
that he has hit at least one ball that
was never seen again.

Alma Ties for
Fourth in Track

Running true to advance dope from
Alma, Kalamazoo copied off the
Michigan Intercollegiate track cham
pionship at Albion Friday and Satur-
day, with Michigan State Normal
second, Albion third, and Alma tying
with Hillsdale for fourth with 10
points each. Olivet and Adrian
failed to score.
Kalamazoo counted 80 points,
Michigan State Normal 26h Albion
2219, Alma 10, and Hillsdale Is.
One of the real surprises of the en-
tire meet came in the 220 low hurdles,
in which Hickerson and Handley of
Alma, after going through the auto
mobile wreck Of Thursday finished
first and second. The hurdles were
run on the turn, and the Alma hurd-
lers had the outside, which renders
their performance the more remark
able. Had it not been for running
on the turn IIickerson might have
Topped off the 40 Of a second needed
to establish new record for this
event.
Johnston, the elongated lad from
Ncwberry, who has been proving a
sensation since hitting Alma in time
to get into basket ball in the late days
of the court season, pulled third
for Alma in the high hurdles. 1t
will be recalled that Johnston also
went through the auto accident, and
took part in two baseball games at
Albion.
In the board jump Hickerson again
jumped into the lime light, pulling
down second place for Alma. Until
the final jump he had first, but on
this jump Fairgrcivcs of IIillsdale
beat the Alma crack by Az inches.
One of the surprises of the meet
was in the two mile which Wilcox
of Kalamazoo won from Vreeland,
the star Alma distance man. Not
until the final 300 yeards Of the two
mile event did the Kalamazoo man
get into the lead and he was forced
at such a hot pace that the record
for the two mile which had been
standing since 1916, went by the
boards. Wilcox did the distance in
1850 2-5. Vrceland finished just be-
hind him in his final college race.
He has been a good point winner for
the Maroon and Cream, and his loss
by graduation will be regretted by
everyone.
In the mile relay race the Alma
relay team finished third, Kalamazoo
getting first and Michigan State
Normal third.
The Alma track team is just in the
process of building, as are all other
Maroon and Cream teams this year,
even to the title winning baseball
aggregation. 1t doubled the num-
Der of points taken last year. Next
year Alma is hopeful Of still greater
things, and track men around the
state will not be passed by when new
students are being sought for the
college this year. Track men will
find as big a welcome TO the Maroon
and Creame as will other athletes.

BY winning from Kalamazoo Fri
day Alma had the opportunity TO
meet the winner Of the Hillsdale- A.
bon game, which Albion won in 10
innings, audit was only because of
errors behind him that Captain Crit
tenden, the Old Iionsides of the NJ.
!. A. A., was forced to go fourteen
innings to win the fray on which de-
pended not only the elimination
series, but also the championship of
the association for the year. By a
queer turn of fate, after Crittenden
stood off the Albion attack in such a
determined manner, after hurting the
previous day, it remained for the
substitute first sacker, Carly, to de-
liver the blow that scored the winn-
ing run in the fourteenth, and
brought two title banners to Alma.

New evidence Of Alma's progress
sive spirit is afforded by the recent or
ganization of the Alma Golf Club,
and the establishment Of nine-hole
course west Of town, which is fast
rounding into fair playing condition.
The club already boasts of mem
bership of more than 100 and a large
number of players may be found on
the course every inning, grimly con-
tending with the perversities Of the
little white pill that seldom goes in
the proper direction, and often doesn't
go at all.
As at present laid out, the course
totals 23l6 yards, which compares
favorably with similar links at Ionia
and Mount Pleasant. Although bunk
ers and other artificial traps are still
to be provided, no member has yet
been heard to complain that the
course is not difficult enough to fair
ly test his skill.
In fact one member has been heard
to remark that his personal prefer
ence would be for much larger holes,
not quite so far apart. And there is
strong suspicion that many other
members frequently find ample rea-
son to strongly endorse his view. On
this point, however, the Greens COM
mittee, composed of Bob Swiss and
Joe Mayne, are extremely sensitive
and have been quoted as declaring
that they aspire to become good golf
ers, and not amateur surveyors.
Much credit for the remarkable
progress already made by the club is
due Verne Calkins and Doc Dubois,
who have been untiring in their eff
forts to get the course in shape quick
ly and maintain it in playing condi-
ton.
A very recent meeting Of the club
brought out large number Of mem
bers, whose enthusiasm was clearly
evidenced by the many voluntary
pledges of further financial support,
in order that the maintenance and i'm
provement Of the course may be con-
tinued At this meeting, authority
was voted for the immediate pur-
chase of a suitable mower to keep

Demand for Michigan
GrOtUn Seed Larger

Michigan Known pedigreed seeds
have been in greater demand during
the past season than ever before in
the history Of organized seed pro
duction by state farmers, according
to II. c. Rather, extension specialist
in farm crops at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College In many cases the
supply Of certified seed has been in
sufficient to meet the calls, which
come from many points outside the
state, as well as from Michigan grow
ers themselves.
"More Robust Beans, the improved
variety orginited at the college sta
ton, were certified on Michigan
farms this year than ever before"
says Rather, "But the supply was en-
tirely exhausted eight weeks before
planting time. Pedigreed VOL
VERNE Oats, Michigan Black Barbless
Barley, and soybeans also sold out
early"
The Michigan Crop Improvement
Association, a cooperative organiza-
ton of Michigan farmers, which
works with the agricultural college in
raising and certifying pedigreed
seeds IN the state, met at NJ. A. c.
late in May and revised its system for
distributing pure strains of seeds in
an effort to provide facilities to meet
the growing demand for Michigan
seed grain. The. seed department of
the State Farm Bureau handles
large part of the marketing of this
seed, which is grown by members Of
the Improvement Association, under
supervision of college Inspectors
three-way system which is making
Michigan famous as producer of
high quality seed stock.

on three of 'em.
Three runs were taken by the Wis
itors in the first inning and Alma
came back with single run. Then
two more were chased over the plate
before the game had reached the half
way mark, and it looked as though
Shepherd would have an easy time
in winning.
Apparently beaten, Alma started
clouting the ball and running the
sacks wild, throwing the infield into
confusion, which admitted Alma to
circle the bases in three or four of
the late innings for runs. Almost
every man who reached first was sent
to second for steal Of that sack by
the coacher at first and in almost
every instance the sack was pilfered.
In the eighth inning Alma was
leading to 6 and when the visitors
started their turn at bat in that ses-
sion two hits and errors on the infield
started Shepherd rally, and one run
was showed across the plate after two
men were down.
The next batter drove one to the
putfield and the ball was relayed to
the plate, a runner on second at
tempting to score. He was blocked
from the counting station and tagged
out, retiring the side. In the final
inning Dick disposed of Shepherd
with ease, and the fray was over.

ALBION FORCED ALMA TO GO
FOURTEEN INNINGS TO WIN
THE FINAL CONTEST.
Carly at First for
Wright Vas a Star

The Alma College baseball team
won the elimination series at the
Michigan Intercollegiate field meet at
Albion Friday and Saturday by cop
ping off both of her games nosed out
Albion and Kalamazoo for the Mici.
igan Intercollegiate championship, so
that the team was able to return TO
Alma Saturday night with two title
banners. 1t was a feat that no col
lege team has been able to do in
years, and was the more remarkable
in that Alma played substitute first
sacker in Carly, and in the fact that
Captain Crittendcn hurled both CON
tests for the Maroon and Cream.
In the first game of the elimination
series the crippled Alma aggrega-
ton jumped on Kalamazoo's league
leading team for to 2 victory,
showing the Baptists out of the run
ming for the field day banner, and
incidently putting the Kazooks out
of the title chase, putting both ban
ners up for the winner of the final
fray.
Alma deserved the victory that she
took over Youngs crew of ball tot
sers, who were showed into first
place standing by being handed four
forfeit games, as she outplayed the
Celery City team from every stand
point.
Carly went to first in place of
Wright, injured first sackcr, and put
up a fine exhibition at that sack.
During the two days he had 33
chances and handled them all. He
also pounded out three hits in two
games, one in the Albion game put
ting over the winning run in the
fourteenth frame.
Iron Man" Clittenden went to the
mound for Alma and worked through
seven innings, during which time he
allowed the Celery Eaters just five
hits, three Of which were punched in
the sixth for Kazoo's counters. In
the seventh he retired for Gather
man, in order that he might rest for
the final fray. Californian finished
the game in fine style allowing
Young's team one hit.
Alma started after Bowman right
off the reel. Carly connected with
one that should have been a homer,
but carded for a triple. He failed
to touch first and after reaching
second went back and hit first and
then got three bags.
Johnston started the scoring in the
fifth with a homer. In the sixth
Alma with one down drove out five
successive hits for three runs that
cinched the game, the binglcs by
Ryan, Hickcrson, Carly, Shaver and
Johnston, sending Ryan, Hickerson
and Carly over the pay station.
Ryan added another in the eighth
with a homer.
TIE victory over Kalamazoo was
sweet one for the Maroon and
Cream which would rather trim
team coached by Young than any
other team on earth 1t made the
seasons record with Kalamazoo
stand to / for the Almaites.
