Weary Normal Five Bows to
Powerful Alma College Men

Michigan Normal's weary basket
ball team bowed to powerful Alma
College, So to 81. at Alma Monday
night. The Scots thereby heightened
their winning streak to II consecu-
tive games.
The Hurons, playing their third
contest in four days, could not stop
Alma's fast.breaking offense after
the first five minutes. The victory
was all the more remarkable be-
cause Keith Carey, Normals meme
sis last year and earlier this season,
was not in the Alma lineup.
Carey, who has been i'll with in
fluenZa, returned to classes Monday
after a weeks absence.
While Alma's team exhibition
was the most outstanding perform
ance, individual honors went to the
Hurons' six'foot-twoinch captain,
Burman Misenar. st. Clair senior.
Misenar accounted for nearly two
thirds OF Normal's scoring as he
amassed 20 points on eight field
goals and four free throws. Misenar
chalked up eight points in the first
half, IL in the second.
He was virtually a one-man team
during that last hall. only four
points being contributed by other
members of the Huron aggregation.
Rollie Langerman sank field goal,
Carl Alfsen and Doug Cullfn a free
throw each.
Except for ga lead at the start
OF the game, Normal never held the
upper hand over the Scots, current
leaders of the MIA.A. Bud Howe
was Alma's field general at the
start. He made six baskets on al
most unbelievable shots before the
iutermission.
Following his lead, Alma piled
up a S5-1S halftfme total. The goal
of the Hurons after that, as ex-
pressed by Coach Frank WorZniak,
was simply to keep Almas final
score under the 100 mark.
Later. Alma had more than dou.
oled the count on Normal, SIPS,
and Gordon Macdonald, Scot pilot,
put in all OF his substitutes. Then
the Hurons began to pick up lost
ground.
Alma's passing and ball-handling
was equaled by its accuracy in
shooting. In fact Tinker Kirby,
who paced Alma, gained most of
his is points on long toms. Kirby
finally ended the evening with IA
points. having added two more in
the last frame.

Feed Cows,
Urges Bromley

Production Of milk can be kept
up to higher levels during the
months of July and August when
it ordinarily declines, and dairy
men can thus greatly assist in the
national defense program by help
ing to build more food reserves
if they will increase the feeding
of grain to dairy cattle, Walter
D. Bromley, of the Frederick
Production Credit Association,
stated.
Ample supplies Of grain are
available because Of the reserves
in the Ever-NormaI Granary and
the feeding of grain win help
compensate for the dry weather
that has damaged pastures in
some sections, and which usually
occurs in midsummer. Already
dairymen are applying to the
production credit association for
loans to purchase feed, Mr.. Brom-
ley said, indicating their willing
ness to participate in the defense
program.

Refunding OF Bridge
Bonds To Save State
MilliOns-OCOnOr

A saving to the State of approx
imately $3,000,0O0 in interest over
a 9O-year period was announced
Tuesday by Governor Herbert R.
O'Conor, as a result of sale of
s6,0OO.O0O Maryland Bridge Reve-
nue. Bonds covering the Potomac
and Susquehanna River spans.
The cost to the State for inter-
est under the new bond issue is
200 per cent, as against a cost of
IF3.75 per cent for the original
Maryland Bridge Revenue Bonds
dated October 1, 1888. The refund
ing Of the bonds, therefore, will
give the State saving of approx
imately 100000 annually over a
3O-year period. The lower interest
rate will result in freeing the
bridges of tolls at an earlier date
and save users of the bridges
many thousands of dollars in tolls,
the Governor said.
Revenues on the Susquehanna
and Potomac River bridges have
exceeded expectations by far. The
Susquehanna bridge has been a
much greater money-maker. 1t
already has produced enough rev.
enue to pay the debt service on
both bridges.
