The Alma College athletic teams made quite a name for themselves in the 1941-1942 athletic season. Much of the credit for their showing, however, should go to Coach Gordon A. Macdonald. Mac has put in a long, hard year and the efforts show for themselves on the credit side of the ledger. On September 8, before most of the students had begun to think seriously about the school year ahead, Coach Macdonald and his Scot gridders were hard at work in their pre-season conditioning practice. The record that these gridders made is known to Alma students and to the entire state. Getting off to a slow start, they gathered power and drive to finish the season undefeated and tied but once in their seven game schedule. Much consideration should also be given to the line-coaching job of Coach William Bill Carr, whose linemen had the best defensive record in the state of Michigan, a truly fine record. The football season was scarcely in mothballs when the Alma cagers started practice and conditioning for the defense of their MIAA championship. The cagers matched the record of the footballers, by going through their conference schedule undefeated and finishing up the season with nineteen wins and three losses. It was marked by double victories over Central Michigan, the traditional Alma rival, the first time that such a feat has been accomplished in many years of inter-school rivalry, and by a victory on the Alma floor over the strong Western Michigan College quintet. The Western cagers downed Alma at Kalamazoo, but the rivalry bids fair to be continued in future years, as they are scheduled for games again next season. ln the basketball season again, praise should go to Coach Carr for his handling of the Junior Varsity. Coaches Macdonald and Carr divided up the spring sports program, and the strength and size of the Alma spring squads made this no easy task. Should the Scot athletes succeed in winning the All-Sports Trophy again this year, the efforts of the coaching staff should be fully recognized and appreciated. Mention should also be given to the work of the trainers and manager: Cap Cap- paert, who handled the equipment, Charles Doyle and Bill Galinet, who worked in the training room, George DeHority, who acted as manager, and Mike Tobin and the rest of the younger gym crew, who assisted Mr. Cappaert. 44

ALL-SPORTS TROPHY I I I For the first time in the history of Alma College, its ,athletic teams in the 1940-1941 season won the much-coveted Michi- gan Inter-collegiate Athletic As- sociation's All-Sports Trophy. The trophy was awarded to Coach Gordon A. Macdonald at the MIAA Field Day at Mar- shall on May 23, 1941, and was turned over to the college for its trophy collection at the All-Sports banquet in Wright L , Hall on May 27. The trophy is awarded each year to that school in the MIAA which places highest in aggregate scores in football, basketball, track, golf, and tennis. In each sport, the school placing first receives ten points, second-eight points, third-six points, fourth -four points, and fifth-two points. By virtue of first places in conference standings in basketball and golf, second places in football and track, and a third place in tennis, the Scot athletes piled up a total of forty-two points out of a possible fifty points to walk off with the trophy for the 1940-1941 season. The Scot basketball team won its MIAA title with a clean record of ten wins and no defeats, the cagers finishing their entire season with a record of twenty-three victories as over against five losses and winning twenty-two consecutive games to establish a new record in Alma College sports' history. The best golf squad in many years of Alma ahtletic history won AIma's first MIAA Field Day Championship last spring to further secure the All-Sports trophy. The football team placed second in the conference in 1940, after losing to Albion in 46
