ALMA DROPS ONE
TO NJ PLEASANT
MAROON AND CREAM REESE ES
WIN PRELIMINARY FROM
TEACHERS.

Coach Parker's veteran Mt. Pleas
ant Normal basket ball team was
forced to display the best brand Of
basketball that it had Monday evening
to defeat the Alma collegians in the
high school gymnasium by 20 TO II
score, the Maroon and Cream forcing
the fighting from the start and
threatening in the earlier stages of
the contest 10 walk away from the
veteran Teacher five.
One thing is sure and that is that
Coach Parker was extremely lucky TO
have six veteran basket ball men TO
shove into the game against Alma. 1t
was only the experience and the team
play that is gained from this eXper-
fence that gave the visitors their vie
tory.
Alma with only two veteran basket
ball men in her lineup put up fine
brand Of, basket ball. The Almaites
broke into the scoring column first,
when Kirker nailed point on a foul.
He then came back with a field basket
and Red Carly added another be-
fore the visitors started their scoring.
kirker added another field basket and
two fouls before the half ended.
Brooks and Calkins for the Teachers
each nailed field baskets and Brooks
kept the Normals in the running with
three fouls during the half, so that
The isabella County five was trailing
only one point as the half ended.
In the second half Calkins cut loose
with three long field baskets that
were lucky in the extreme, and these
with three close ones, one Of which he
also got, settled the verdict of the
game.
The Teachers defense improved to
such an extent over the first half that
Alma could not penetrate it for a sin
gle counter, and while Kirker and
Sordistrom picked up every possible
point from the foul line, they were not
sufficient in number to keep the Ma
room and Cream in the game.
The team put up a fine brand of
ball against the veteran Normal five
and, while the fans are disappointed
in the outcome, they are still behind
the team which is proving itself a
fighting quintet.

How Great Golf Game

A student Of golf recently
had this to say about his favor
ite game:
"The stance, the address, the
grip, the pivot, the tuning, the
carry through-not emitting the
waggle-constitute the trunk Of
a tree, the like of which has
never before grown in the great
playground Of human activity.
Indeed, this hoary game-old
when the United States was
not on the map-might fairly
be described ~ one in which the
player. with unsuitably designed
hands, endeavors to deliver an
unnatural stroke, at IN awk-
ward angle, with an imperfect
instrument-with irrepressible
enthusiasm"
