The showing OF the Marine football
team is quite remarkable when it is
considered that Lieut. Green has had

Engineers, represent regiments. The
sea soldiers top the league with three
straight wins.
The Philippines tour of w. Tin

with a cable message which called
for the team to leave here at once.
The notice was too short for most OF
the players, and at a meeting held
last night it was decided to decline
and try for the trip at later date.
The c. A. Us are grabbing off some
OF Sam Hops best bets. Kan Yin has
