.2 1 l ll BASKETBALL l VVhen Coach Campbell issued the call for basketball men shortly after the football season had closed, the I924 championship team reported intact with the exception of Van Hee. It is needless to say that great things were expected of this group of court stars. Captain Red Carty was again called upon to lead the Maroon and Cream to another basketball championship, which he did in a creditable manner. Red is the only Alma man to captain a championship team two years in succession. ' ' The season was the most successful that the followers of Alma basketball teams have ever witnessed. Alma went through the entire season without a defeat in the M. I. A. A. Alma scored a total of 414 points to her opponents' 197. Out- scoring their opponents by more than a two to one score is a feat which has never been equalled in the history of Michigan Intercollegiate basketball. Captain Carty also established a new high record for points scored in a game when he shot fourteen baskets and two fouls for a total of thirty points in the Albion game. The victory over Mt. Pleasant on lVIarch 13, marked the last appearance of four Seniors who were members of the teamg Captain Carty, Cuddy Shaver, Russ Catherman and Roger W'right. The famous Four Horsemen have gone through four years of college basketball and each one has won four letters. The Maroon and Cream scarcely let the other colleges of the state have a look-in when the all M. I. A. A. team was chosen. Captain Carty was chosen forward for the third time. He also captained the mythical team. Shaver was again given the guard position which he held last year. Gordon MacDonald was given the center berth. To complete the Alma triumph Captain-elect Dutch Welhoelter and Nate Gealor were given honorable mention for the positions of guard and forward. At the Basketball Banquet held in honor of the Champs at lVright I-lall, the members ofthe team elected Albert Welhoelter captain of the I926 cagers. 'C Dutch has played three years' of basketball at Alma and has been recognized as one of the most dependable guards that Alma has ever had. His success with next year's team seems assured when we consider the material that will be back to make up the new squad. I -I. H. Nrsnisr, ' Athletics Editor. -fx .
