WEIGHT FAILS
NORMAL ELEVEN
TEACHERS SECOND TEAM NO
MATCH FOR SCRAPPY ALMA
HIGH AGGREGATION.

Coach Oliver Carlson's Alma High
School football team performed feat
Friday afternoon that was totally UNI
expected by the fans after they had
seen the size of the Mt. Pleasant Nor
NAL second team on Republic field
he locals outweighed nearly fifteen
pounds to a man just wading through
the Isabella county eleven for a "a
to II victory, and doing most of the
ground gaining on straight football,
a feat that is rare one when the
difference in weight is considered.
At no stage of the encounter did
the Teachers have a look in Alma
rolled up nine points to nothing for
the Pedegogues before the first quar-
ter ended and never lost the lead
Forcing the Normals to punt after
they had made two first downs fol-
lowing the kickoff Alma marched
down the field fast into the Normal
territory, and when the Teachers de-
Tense stiffened Elias dropped back on
fourth down and booted over a
field goal by dropkick from the 25-
yard line. Before the quarter had
ended Alma had made another march
Town the field to the 5 yard line
from which point Patterson, aided by
some beautiful interference, went
around end for the remaining dis
.ance and planted the bali behind the
goal. Elias missed the kick.
In the second quartar the Teachers
tried to put over a comeback and
fought hard, and finally on the 80
yard line recovered an Alma tumble
and on the third play, after failing
20 gain twice, went to the goal for
their only earned touchdown. Alma
blocked the goal kick.
Still sticking to the old army game
Alma went after the Teachers again
in the third quarter and, after pound
around the ends for good gains, Elias
went around end for five yards for a
touchdown. Goal was missed. Soon
after the Normals counted their last
touchdown when Alma ATTEMPTED to
punt out from behind her own goal.
A bad pass went free behind the goal
and one of the Teachers dropped on
the ball for a touchdown, making the
score Alma Is, Teachers -.
In the final quarter Elias smashed
through the line six yards soon after
the quarter opened for a touchdown,
but missed the goal following, max
ing the score Alma p, Normals y.
Following the kickoff the team
marched down the field again and,
nearing the goal, Anderson was call
ed back and smashed through the
heavier Teachers line and again
planted a touchdown behind the goal.
Elias dropkicked the goal, making
the count Alma %, Normals II. Still
another time Alma marched down the
field and Trip went the final few
yards to the goal on linesmash, and
then Elias goaled just as time was
up, making the count Alma 81, Nor
mails r.
Elias, Veeder, Paterson, Allen and
Anderson played stellar games
throughout the contest, but the en-
tire team played steady game
against their far heavier opponents,
and every man that went into the
fray deserves big amount Of credit
for the wonderful fight that was
shown against the big odds.

The assassination occurred between

casualties upon the irregulars. Just as
the attack was beaten off bullet

The assassination Of Michael Collins
was preceded In Dublin by kind of
battle of propaganda, both the provis'

of the Irregular army posting placards
which set forth their respective claims.
Americans reaching London after at
tending the funeral Of Arthur Griffith
