KALAMAZOO F|vE:
GIVEN A BATTLE
YOUNG'S FAMOUS QUINTET CIV
EN- BIG SCARE BY THE NEW
ALMA QUINTET.

Although beaten by Kalamazoo
College here Friday night, % to %,
the Alma collegians covered them
selves with considerable credit, hold
ing this crack aggregation to a clos
err score than did either Notre Dame
University or the Michigan Aggies.
Only once previously had any team
been able to do better against Kazoo
than did the Maroon and Cream clan.
There is practically no question
right now but what Kalamazoo has
the 1922 basketball championship of
the Michigan Intercollegiate sewed
up tight, and that Michigan State
Normal and Alma will now battle it
out for second and third places.
Except for poor officiating, which
hurt the contest, the game was one of
the most brilliant exhibitions OF bas-
ket ball that has been seen here in
some years, the entire Alma outfit
playing a great game against the
Kalamazoo outfit, which has been
called one Of the strongest quintets in
the middle west
Kalamazoo took single point lead
at the very start of the contest on
foul, but Alma grabbed the lead in
turn by a single point when Solder
strom dropped in a field basket. From
that time ON the two teams alternated
in the lead during the half, which
ended with each team having nine
points.
Between halves one Of the Kalama
700 men called Burhans, the referee,
into the Kalamazoo dressing room to
see Coach Young. Burhans spent
about five minutes with the Kalama-
zoo coach, and the big change in the
officiating in the second half may be
ascribed to this visit. In the final
half it was almost impossible for
Burhans to see anything but fouls on
the Alma team, nine being called in
the final half against four in the first
half. Some of these were highly
questionable. There seemed, in this
half TO the spectators, more reason to
foul the Kalamazoo players than AL
ma, but the fouls were not forthcom-
ing.
Very soon after the half opened
Shaver was ruled from the floor on
personal fouls, and Kalamazoo quick
ly ran her lead Up to 10 points, the
score with the final session half over
standing % to 10. Alma started a
great rally at this stage Of the fray,
and seven points quickly went on the
scoreboard for the locals, making the
count % to %. Mckay, who had just
been pulled, was shot back into the
fray by Coach Young and the Alma
rally was stopped just short of the
mark. In the short time left before
the game ended kalamazoo nailed
three more points, making the final
count % to %.
a great deal Of credit must be given
to Red" Carly and Crittenden for
their work in the game, but the en-
tire team is deserving Of only the
greatest credit Every man played a
stellar game against the crack Kala-
mazoo aggregation Of stars. For
Kalamazoo Mckay and Vroeg were
the shining lights.
An attempt was made TO change
the date to Saturday night but the
Kalamazoo squad could not agree to
the change because Of game that
night.

Taft. then president of the Lincoln
Memorial Commission, turned the
first spadeful of earth on the site. The
very foundation of the Memorial Is
of interest from a scientific point of
view. Instead of the ordinary exca-
walton, 122 steel cylinders were driven
down through the earth until each
one reached and rested on bedrock.
These cylinders were driven down
by blocks of concrete weighing 80
tons, much as wooden piles are driven
into the ground. The cylinders then
were filled with concrete. A year was
occupied with this part of the work.
This time was sufficient to complete
not only the underground part of the
foundation, but 45 feet of it which
rises above the surrounding ground
! level. For this Colorado-Yale marble
obtained 5000 feet above sea level
was used. By filling in with earth
the group was brought up to the top
of the foundation level. placing the
structure at the top of a gently slop
| ing artificial hill.
The roof of the Memorial is an IN
teresting departure in such construc
ton. 1t is of marble cut in slabs five
feet long, three feet wide, and only
| three-eights of an inch thick. Through
this the sunlight easily enters, soften
| ed and diffused This was an expert
ment, but proved to be a highly sue
cessful one.

Lincoln Memorial Dedication
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 26. -
The Both of May this year will be
marked by ceremony of interest to
the whole nation, and one unique In
the history of the United States.
When the Lincoln Memorial here is
dedicated on that date the President
of the United States, two former
presidents, and the sons of still two
other former Presidents, will be pres
ent. President Harding, William
Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson,
will take part in the ceremonies.
There will also be present Robert
Lincoln, son of the great Lincoln, and
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theo-
dore Roosevelt, son of the illustrious
man of the same name who occupied
the White House for almost two
terms.
Beyond all questions, the Lincoln
Memorial is the most beautiful work
in marble ever undertaken on this
side of the world. 1t will take rank
with the Library of Congress, the
Washington Monument, the White
House, and the Capitol as point of
interest for visitors to Washington in
the future.
Immediately upon entering the main
portal the heroic statute of Lincoln is
seen. The figure is seated but be-
cause of it's enormous proportions II
is % feet high. 1t is the work of
Daniel Chester French, noted Ameri-
can sculptor. Had Mr.. French elected
to portray Lincoln standing, the fig.
ure would have lowered So feet in the
air.
The marble for the statue was

rough weighed no less than APT tons
Twenty-eight great blocks of this fine
grade of stone were used, and in the
completed statue weight It's tons. The
sections of the statue were cut in the
marble in the yards of the six Piccir
I'LL brothers in New York City.

work, which was then transported te
Washington in sections.

was only five feet high. From th1:

Some Remarkable Paintings
The great seated figure is, of course
the main point of interest in the Me
mortal Next to 1t rank the painting
by Jules Guerin, of st. Louis, one o
Americas foremost painters. Mr.
Guerin for some years past has made
his home in New York, and the paint
ings for the memorial were done il
his studio there.
In keeping with the heroic proper
tions of the Lincoln statue, it is inter
esting to note that the canvas alon

60 feet long and II feet high, weighed

popular as one of the Capitals out

commenced. They are hung 30 feet
above the floor of the Memorial.
The finishing of these paintings re-
Quired twice as long as the business
of cutting the marble blocks into a
finished statue. For three long years
Guerin worked in his New York studio
before the result was satisfactory to
him The titles of the two pictures
are Emancipation" and Reunion"
Four human figures appear in the
paintings, which from mechanical
standpoint are made to endure for
centuries without cracking or having
the paint crumble. Mr. Guerin mixed
his pigments with kerosene and white
wax in order to guard against deterio-
ration.
There are but two other main deco
rative features of the Memorial. The
+. first is the famous Gettysburg address
of Lincoln, the other his second fnau-
gural address. Both Of these are carv-

work on the Memorial and the general
design of the whole was left to his ca

and the artist $4,000. The remainder
of the sum was spent in actual con

OIten the wild flowers had nodded
10 the dollhouse flowers and some of
them mad bent a little in answer, but
not the stately Gala Lily. She pre-
tended she did not see them or thei<
friendly nod.
And there was a reason for this. for
cana knew that Jack-in-the- Pulpit was
relative of hers-distant, to be sure,
out still he was related-and if one
stopped to look and compare Gala
and Jack they would see at once a
family resemblance
Calais dainty, waxlike cup resem-
bles Jacks greenish-brown pulpit, and
CALAIS pretty, yellow, upright center
resembles in shape Jack himself as he
stands beneath the curved pulpit. And
that was the reason Gala Lily did not
nod or notice the little wild flowers
outside her glass home; she was afraid
that some one would know that she
and humble little Jack were cousins,
for she supposed that Jack knew it
and was Dragging to the other wild
flowers about it.
"They will be sure to tell it to some
of the flowers standing near the door
some day when the gardener leaves
the door open."
The truth of the matter was that
Jack knew nothing about the stately
relative growing inside the hothouse
and If he had he would have pitied
her, for he was quite happy and salts
fed growing out in the air and light
and would not have changed places
with Gala for all her beauty and
stately bearing.
He loved the woods and the moist
spot where he grew and his friends
that grew about him.
There were the tickle, late-coming
wind-flowers; though they never tar
ried, Jack was always glad to see
them and hear them prattle of the
sights they expected to see, and their
farewell fiutters as they sailed away
always made Jack glad he did not care
to roam, as they did.
There were the wild Lilies-of-the-
Valley; they were friends of Jacks
also, and he felt they had much in
common, for their name was as long
as his; there were the birds and the
trees, too. Jack was happy in his
