'Q C931 'l nE 1924 l ooT1zA1.1. SQUAD - h THE SEASON 'UNIVERSITY or D1E'FIlOl'F AT DETROIT . SEPTEMBER 27 In putting over two touchdowns in the fourth quarter on the heavy U. of D. team the Alma gridders accomplished a real feat. A few weeks later the Catholics held the powerful West Point eleven to a 20-o score. This indicates the power that the Detroit footballers possessed. Alma should have won 'the game but for an infortnnate break in -the first quarter. Captain lVIacDonald had carried the ball to the U. of D. seven yard line when he was tackled so hard that he fumbled and Detroit recovered. In the fourth period Almais passing attack had the Detroit crew completely baffled. Russ Catherman on the heaving end of the passing combination stood out. After putting over. two touchdowns in six minutes the U. of D. squad tightened and by using the well known stalling methods kept the ball out of danger until the end of the game. Alma was forced to accept the short end ofa IQ-I3 soore but they clearly demonstrated to the Detroit assemblage that they knew football and were not afraid to play the game even though the odds. were against them. VVESTERN STATE NOIKNIAI. AT IQALAMAZOO ' OCTOBER 4 Playing under a hot sun and still suffering from the effects of the U. of D. battle, the men of Campbell were beaten by Coach Martineau's men, 7-o. There is no denying the fact that the Alma warriors were decidedly off form in this game. The Normal scored its lone touchdown in the third quarter of the game when the ball rolled free near the Alma goal and Captain Johnson of the Western' aggrega- tion grabbed the pigskin and crossed the line a few yards away.

I'IlLLSDA,LE AT ALMA ' 1 NOVEMBER I The game that decided the Nl. 1. A. A. football championship was a hectic affair from start to Hnish. Although Hillsdale won 7-6, her touchdown as Well as the Alma counter can be directly attributed to the terrific wind that ruled Davis Field for the afternoon. The loss of Roger Wright in this battle marked the ,passing of one of the greatest football players that ever Wore an Alma uniform. VVith the score, 7-6, in favor of Hillsdale in the fourth quarter the Alma team fought 'desperately for victory but the strong West wind was the victor in its battle with Captain lVIacDonald's educated toe. . ALBION AT ALMA NOVEMBER 8 'Albion came to Alma with the avowed purpose of wrecking our annual home- coming day and to a certain extent we must admit they succeeded. Andy Anderson, who had been one of the most consistent performers on the team, dislocated his shoulder in this fray and Was lost to the team for the season. Taking into consideration the loss of Anderson and YVright the Alma Clan was exceedingly fortunate in holding the Albionites to the low 3-0 score.
