his teammate, Bauer, was forced 10
retire because Of a badly sprained arm.
Both teams put up q strong game, and
used new football TO advantage. The
Chestertown eleven proved the strong
er team, and with a better break OF
luck would have defeated the Aggies
more decisively.
Twice during the contest the visitors
crossed their opponents goal line, only
TO be called hack BY Referee Byrd,
for plays which he decided illegally
executed.
Strong on 0ffense.

work OF the Washington College on
the offense, were striking features. The
