iE GR CISL Front Row—James Teal, Stewart Brams. Secand Row— Walter Brown, Edward La Berge, Coach Elson Hood, Van Hutchings. Tennis AY CITY Junior College's tennis team has, at this writing, won one out of three meets. The first match held ac Flint resulted in a 2-4 defeat. Hutchings and Teal each copped their singles matches, but loss of the remaining singles and both doubles was enough to put the Vehics on top. In the second meer, the ‘‘racketeers’ slashed their way to a 5-1 victory over Central State Teachers College. The Hoodmen showed remarkable improvement in this match, clawing over the Bearcats to take the decision. The homesters lost but one doubles match only after a hard 12-10 game. The locals lost the third meet, 2-4 to a crack Muskegon team. Three meets remained to be played at this writing, a postponed match here with Flint followed by matches at Jackson and Highland Park. The season will close with the state tournament at Jackson, May 29-30. Members of the tennis squad are: Van Hutchings, Jimmy Teal, Walt Brown, Ed LaBerge, and Stewart Brams. Intramurals NTRAMURAL sports for the year 1930-31 have proved a sound basis for the athletic activities within the college. Throughout the year contests have been held in football, basketball, and at this writing, horseshoe and softball tournaments are in progress. In the fall, the annual Frosh-Soph football game was played in the Central Stadium. The Frosh defeated the Sophs 6-0, after a long run late in the 4th quarter placed the ball in scoring territory. Basketball season found a smooth-passing General Academic team victors over the Pre-Dents in the championship game. Spring offers a more diversified program, tournaments in quoits and softball culminate in Field day, the climax to the athletic year. On field day, finals in quoits, track and field events for men and women and softball games provide a full program. This year a softball game between Flint and Bay City intramural champions is expected to add much more enthusiasm. 22

In the first contest of the season, the local team was defeated by Fline 40-32, in a thrilling meet that was in doubc until almost the last event. However, the splashers vindicated themselves in the next meer with a 47-25 comeback over Muskegon. In a return dual meet with Flint, our swimmers gained revenge for the previous defeat with a brilliant victory that saw Phil Patterson break the state 220 yard record with an unofficial mark of 2.49. At the state meet held in Flint, Bay City placed third with 19 points. Grand Rapids won with 25 points, followed by Flint with 20. The Bay City swimmers who placed are: Thorson, L. Meisel, Bean, Patterson, and MacPhail. Bay City also gained a third in the relay. Goll eS TWO meets this year, Junior College's four-man golf team has broke even. By a con- ference rule, the teams were increased to four members as over two last year, but at che state tournament, the teams will be reduced to two men each. The first match of the year found the Blue and Whice taking the measure of Flint Junior College. Smith and Hart, Bay City’s one and two golfers, turned the match into a Bay City victory. Although Kinsel and Ackinson, the remaining members of the team, were defeated by close scores, the lead established by their mates was sufficient to win by four strokes. At Muskegon, the second match lead to Junior College's first defeat by a 9-2 score. Smith registered two points and Hart one-half point to count the only Bay City scores. May 15th the team traveled to Jackson, and on the 18th and 20th chey encountered Flint and Highland Park respectively. The results of these matches were received too late for this printing. Ac the state tournament at Jackson on May 29-30, Bay City Junior College will have a good chance to take the championship, as Smith and Hart are considered among the best in the conference. 21

-- l@talids, (Sid Vala Ble The Nut-Cracker TIS May, 1931, and the Crucible year book has come out. Students stand around in groups, whispering excitedly. An angry group collects around locker No. ..... waiting. But nobody comes. For the Nutcracker is smart enough to stay home this day of days, and there he sits, chortling and fiendishly laughing. The scene is in front of Locker No. —.... , the academic abode of the Nutcracker. A number of students stand about. It is just before noon. Bill Groening: I told you so! It wasn’t me—now you better apologize for chat shiner Vou Pavermes last wtiday prebmmary 30rhy 1981, =A -b, Herb Bean: Ha! Good old Brams—I knew ’twas him all along. Ruth LeRoux: I was hoping the Nutcracker would be a handsome, dashing man, ahhhuhhhummmmm.... | ance Awe Aaa ee ee: Marion Meisel: | knew all along that he was a young German Student. Harry Connelly: Pershnally, I haven’t got a thing t’say—shintz I’m still a Republican. Mearle Willett: After | had made a scientific examination of the situation, I knew who it was, because according to the facts unconsciously submitted to the unwary reader by the author of said column, and under act no. 1586 P. A. 1916, Michigan, the defendant is also subject to trial for schnitzling. De Kahn: My Pal-phooey!!!! Archie McMillan: The facts in the case show that there is no chance for error. If you should read whoosiz on Pht, you would see that there is no room for doubt that the man is guilty of gjkimbgfxxsting, if not blrgstnding. Jack Nichols: All I can say is—that wuz adequate! Helen Severance: Huh? Freddie Tonks: Hel - lo, there, ' 2 . $')oca!? '? The mob turns and makes a rush for the door, where the foolish author hereof has chanced to enter, There is a thickening Sud. The crowd passes through the door, a writhing figure carried above. Shricks of goulish glee rent the atmosphere—it might have sold the atmos- phere, but good old atmo couldn't furni sh a down payment. The figure is carried to the flag- pole, where that object is lifted and let fall on the head of the unfortunate several times. But they have failed to reckon on one thing—the head. Disgusted with this, they carry him up the tower. A horrified world watches breathlessly below as they realize what is about to happen. A figure rises into the air, and falls over the side. A lone scream is heard from the mob—apparently a woman's, but since no further trace could be made, ventriloquism is sus- pected. Ihe body flies out, clearing the walls. Women hide their heads. Men begin to re- pent. Everyone looks another direction, but when no thickening sud is heard, they turn again to see our sheer ho foat gracefully down (under a Doty (p’t’d) portable umbrella which he had concealed in his pocket), just in time to have the keys to the city of Fghjbdsmkl presented him by the mayor, who has been awaiting his arrival ever since the Freshmen engineers’ as- sembly, April 21, 1931, A. D. which so bored him that he was ready to do anything, even to listen to the discussion at a Freshman English lecture, every Friday at 8:00 A. M. Eastern Standard Time, if you live in Bay City? ee)
