KALAMAZOO AT ALMA FEBRUARY I3 The march to achampionship was continued with success in this rather uneven contest. The Kazoo cagers were off form and took a 3I-9 beating. The Alma defense was so tight during the second half that the Celery City men could not shoot a single basket. ' HILLSDALE AT ALMA FEBRUARY zo The early season defeat which Alma handed the Baptists was again duplicated on the Alma Hoor. The score at the end of the game was 43-24. Hillsdale did very little in the way of caging baskets until the latter part of the second half when Coach Campbell injected an array of substitutes into the game. KALAMAZOO AT KALAMAZOO FEBRUARY 27 Alma clinched the 1925 basketball cham- pionship by winning from Kalamazoo College 39-16. The work of Vifelhoelter and Shaver on defense was so tight that Kazoo was able to make only one close shot all during the game. ALBION AT ALMA MARCH 5 Oh what a slaughter! 63-24 tells the tale of a terrible beating that the lVIaroon and Cream administered to Coach Betchel's men. Captain Carty broke all existing records for points scored in a single game by caging I4 baskets and two fouls for a total of thirty points. The Methodists used numerous sub- stitutes in an effort to stop the onslaught but 'Campbell's tossers would I1O'C be denied the right to drop the ball through the netted circle. L'WoLEE lh'l:ACDONALl7 CENTRAL STATE NORMAL AT ALMA MARCIYI I3 Central Normal appeared on the Alma court with practically a new team due to the wholesale removal of several men from the Central line-up. Wlmile the new team was not especially brilliant on the basketball court, they certainly were artists in the art of stalling. They hoped to hold the score down by playing with the ball as much as possible rather than letting it get into the hands of one of the Alma Hashes. The final score was 31-20. This game marked the last appearance of Captain Carty, Shaver, Catherman, and Wright on the Alma court. ' -J. H. NISBET, Athletics Editor. F mi RA .l, MA COLLEGE lfiglzly-eighl V

BASEBALL As soon as the Basketball Season was over and the Championship safely tucked away the baseball men started Working out in the gym in preparation for another championship this year. After Spring Vacation the squad took advantage of the good weather and commenced operations on Davis Field. The prospects for this year are such that every Alma fan will be greatly dis- appointed if the NI. I. A. A. isn't completely vanquished. With Bert Bouwman, the best college hurler in the state in the box and with a number of veterans to back him up in the held and also with the stick, the taslc of winning the Baseball Championship should not be very diflicult. Without doubt Ypsi Normal has one of the best teams in the history of the school but already the Maroon and Cream have demonstrated their superiority over the Teachers by handing them a 6-5 trimming on the Ypsi diamond. ' . Reserve material means much to a team, particularly in the box where things dovnot always go as they should. Bouwman has several capable understudies in MacDonald, R. Catherrnan and Beauchamp. In Carty Alma boasts one of the best receivers in the Association, while Treadwfay is always ready to step behind the plate if it is necessary. The infield is composed of Hunter at third, VVelhoelter at short, Wright at second, and lVIacDonald at first. In the garden the left portion is taken care of by H. Catherman, Shaver patrols the center, while Treadway cavorts around the right field area. , ' Alma has succeeded in capturing two baseball championships in the last three campaigns .and with a reasonable share of the breaks iirher favor should grab another title this year. -J.
