Win 12 Games Out of 15 Scheduled
and Advance to Tournament
,     Semi-Finals. ■'
Winning" l-2vgames ,out of-15 -played
and reaching the semi-final' round in
the district tournament, Saline Independents had a very successful season.
Although part of the team had play-
!ed together before, there were several newcomers to the ranks so that it
was practically a green aggregation
that started the season .
In their last few games the hoys
showed what progress they had made
during" the- course of the season by
winning eleven straight victories before being downed toy R-B Clothes 6t
Ann Arbor in the tournament. They
have had practically no coaching
during the season and never held a
"regular practice after the season
Started, games being played every
night the local gym was available.
Melvin "Abe" Alber has been official manager of the team and was
capably assisted by Stanley Witt-
bfa'cht. Alfred Schmid was captain. I
So mueri interest was evoked in the.
sport with'* the new gym that there
were enough ""men" out to put two
teams on the floor'at all home games.
The second team did very well- in
their season and met several .very'
strong; aggregations, j
"    The   team' was   entered    in    the
Southern' Michigan league, made up ,
of teams from Cainton, Dundee, Deerfield, Manchester and Tecumseh. The;
local boys won  every  one  of their
league   games   except   one   against!
Deerfield and one against Tecumseh.
Both were  on  the  opponent's  floor.
The   gym  at  Deerfield toeing   more
like a cigar box than an honest-to-
goodness place to indulge in basketball  Saline beat both teams  on  the
home floor. ,
The following summary of the
season's activities is 'based on the
regular games played and does not in
chide the tournament games. In all
there were 15 first team contests,
plus three tournament encounters.
The Reserves played nine games and
Carr led the aggregation in the
number of points made throughout
the season. His ranginess and adept-
ness at tipping the ball In under the
■basket were a considerable factor in
Saline's success. Estermyer, diminutive forward, was second high point
nian for the season. His specialties
were -short shots, which he managed
to* slip in with regularity, to the concern of the opposing guards.
The statistics for points and games
played makes no distinction between
first and second team games. Most
of the players were on both teams at
one time or another during the season.

mg majority -wee
To New City Charter
Old Members Re-elected "to
City Council   ,
Monday.
Andrew J. Warren Elected    Justice
of the Peace and Adam
Klumpp Constable
An overwhelming majority was
given the new charter *by the voters
of the city of Saline Monday at the
first election since the village matured into a ,city. 205 votes were registered for the adoption of the charter
while  31 were  against.    Five mem-
^^s^Mt^ttF^MSip^jams^jf,
the peace- and a constable were also
chosen at ithe election.
All of the members of the new
council were on the old village council. However, there were six members of the old council and a mayor,
while now there will be five members
of the council, one of whom will be
elected mayor among the membership.
Those who will head the new city
government are Mark B. Sudgen.
former president of the village, and
Walter D. Cook, Alwin Gross, Lloyd
Fairbanks and Benjamin Uphaus,
former members of the village council. Julius Bredernitz ■ and John
Schleh, who were on the village "body,
were not reelected. Other nominees
who failed- of election were Harry E.
Holmes and Adolph Lindemann.
The new council will .canvass the
votes tonight and at their next meeting choose a mayor from among^their
own body and a mayor (pro tern.
Eaeh will holld "office for two years.
Andrew J- Warren led George V.
Cook for the office of justice of peace
while Frank Rose trailed ithem. For
the first time since Saline became a
village it will only have one justice
of the peace. Mr. Warren and Mr.
Rose held the' office previously. It
is believed, however, that the state
law will toe changed so that fifth class
cities will have two justices- in the
future. • .•   ' "• "-   /'■._."   -..." -
Adam Klumpp was electee!* coii-
stable to succeed Sela. Fitzgerald
who, with Fred Schaible, also ran.
The vote at the election was light,
only about half the registered voters
appearing at the polls. The heaviest
voting went on between the hours of
one and six.- The inclement weather
was thought to toe largely responsible for the lack of interest in the
election which decided one of the
most important questions ever put
before -the voters of the city as the
new charter will toe the working plan
ol: the city from now on.
■St'i Patrick's Day Program
At PTA Meeting Monday
*v
Ypsi Normal Class to Put on Dances
and Several Musical Numbers
Are on Program.
• A regular St. Patrick's- -day pr-j-
gram has been' arranged for the
meeting on Monday evening, March
16, in the high sciion'l auditorium of
tbt: Pfeient-T'each'*!* Association.
A cance is to put on by pupils in
the the physical education department of Michigan State Normal col-
lag • at Ypsilanti with, various types
of the dance art being shown.
Musical numbers will include a
violin solo by Miss Irene Fitzgerald
and a vocal solo toy Miss Katherine
Briggs. A much-herald feature
about which much mystery has been
cast is an interlude- called "A Little
Bit of Blarney." " Officials "of tile*:
association refuse to divulge what
this particular part of the program is
about, but promise that it- will toe
worth seeing;   '
Judge Collingwood, of- Ingham
county, has given a resident of
Leslie until April 1st (an appropriate date) to pay a judgement of
§3,500 for the alienation of the affections of another man's wife. If
the man can't pay the judgement
he'll have to go to jail and in that
case the wronged husband will "be
compelled' to pay fifty cents a day
for his board. The legislator who
thot up that law certainly ^ knew
nothing about the law of compensation.—-Ionia  News.
W. C. T. U. TO MEET
AT HOME OF SIRS. MeBRIDia
, '— J-
The members of the local-"**#. C. T.
• *" -" ■
i U.  are meeting with Mrs. McBride
j this afternoon. Special work will toe
planned and everyone interested in.
j the work is welcome. Following are
| two ..quotations from authorties on
! the liquor question: "I have every respect for the man, who on grounds
of ethics or of economics opposes the
18th amendment and -works for its
repeal. I have every sympathy for
the man who is a victim to the drink
habit and who finds himself unable
to do without liquor. But the man
who breaks the law for fun, -who
violates the integrity of the nation
simply because he enjoys a drink,
is doing a contemptible thing."
From Dr. Magary's Questions and
Answers, pastor of Lafayette Aveh- :
ue* Presbte'rian Church* *Ne\v" **,"S>rlc''
City." ^The United States is not the
only country which has a liquor
problem. Every major nation in the
world recognizes that drunkenness
is a great evil. That conviction is
growing as civilization, becomes
more and mort interlocking, more
specialized 'and mechanized. Dependability is becoming a greater and
greater factor in our social life," and
drunkenness destroys dependability.
Drunkenness therefore becomes a
major vice."—Prof. Carver of Harvard University.
"We await the sequel to the story of
burglars who recently stole germ-
inoculated ratobits from a Pittstourgh
hospital laboratory.
