toplay against. That the score should have
been so close on the opponents home
grounds and only one OF their goals made
from field play is 4 source of much graft
fication to the Infantry.
The team Is now looking forward to the
game with Carroll Institute and the soldiers
realize that they must play the game OF
Their lives to win. 1t is the intention OF the
Infantry to conform strictly 10 the new
rules in this game and in all the others,
ana 1t expresses the hope that 1t viii have
the assistance Of all teams in this direction.
