a splendid exhibition OF football, not
Withstanding the one-sided score. The
cadets are fighters and they never
displayed their fighting ability to bet

game Yesterday. That the soldier

only in making one safety in the last

The varsity played a fine game
throughout. although they got in bad

the first half and once in the second
half the cadets came dangerously near
making a touchdown. Each time

second half for Price, We're among the
men who did most of the heavy work
for the varsity. Price was sent to the

quite badly bunged up. He played a
brilliant game at left half all hrough

the cadets line and blocking many
plays which might have proven dan
