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.

ll Q f-f x KALAMAZOO AT .KALAMAZOO Novisrvrslm I5 Despite the fact that the Alma team had to be rebuilt for this game, the new machine worked smoothly and the Maroon and Cream walked off the field with a 20-o victory tucked away. Carty's sixty-five yard run and the brilliant Alma aerial attack showed that despite the loss of two powerful offensive men the Alma team still retained the old punch that is so necessary in a football aggregation. CENTRAL STATE NORMAL AT MT. PLEASANT NOVEMBEIL 22 The I3-O victory which the Normalites gained over Alma does not measure the comparative strength of the two teams with any degree of accuracy. Mt. Pleasant took advantage of Alma's weakness in the line and were 'able to put over two touchdowns although the last one was of the flukey variety. A bad pass from center on the fourth clown gave the Normals the ball and it was pushed over the goal from the one foot line in two downs.
