1t has been decided, for another year
at least, that the 32nd Infantry has a
better football team than the fst In
fantry, for did not the baby regiment
defeat the lst by a count OF Is to ID!
| The difference in score indicates the
superiority Of one team over the
other Never has more evenly
matched or more grueling game of
! football been played at Schofield
than the one the two teams partici-
pated in today. Despite the hard
I playing there was a noticeable ao-
sence of injuries, though time out was
continually permitted, the LIST lnfan'
| try being the one to take advantage OF
the short respite oftener, probably
due more to the wear OF going up
against the more heavier opponents.
The day was ideal for football; the
rain of last night had cooled the at
mosphere and the early afternoon in
dicated a clear sky and great crowd.
Both we're there-the clear sky and
the great crowd AS early as 12:30 a
serpentine line formed from the en-
trance to the grounds opposite the
32nd Infantry headquarters, and ex-
tended for 500 yards up the S2nd In
fantrv cantonment However, as most
of the early birds had already pur'
chased their tickets it did not take
very long to clear the congestion.
AS to the game itself, it was all that
forecasts had given for it. Both teams
were evenly matched, the 1st being the
faster on its pins, while the 32nd In
fantry outWeighed their opponents
several pounds man for man. The old
style game of football prevailed,
though i'm several instances substantial
gains were made by successful for
ward passes.
The stars of the game were numer.
Gus. The bright shining star for the
LIST Infantry was BOghan; the lad was
in practically every play of the game,
was responsible for two touchdowns
and kicked one goal from touchdown.
He was ably assisted by Crooks, Penn
berton, Spooner, Mulch and Stockoff,
his running mates.
Steger, Rasquin, F1eischman, Stein,
Matthias and Gray were the heroes for
the 32nd Infantry, though the entire
team must come in for credit for fight
ing the uphill battle it did. Steger
negotiated one touchdown, as did
Stein. while Fleischman's trusty shoe
propelled the leather between the
uprights and crossbar for three points.
The three points of Fleischman de.
cided the contest.
First period-The LIST infantry
scored in the first few minutes Of play.
PembertOn kicked off and the 32nd
failed to make their downs. The ball
passed over to the first and Oh the
fourth down Boghan broke through the
32nds left end and ran down the field
for a touchdown. BOghan also kicked
goal from touchdown
Second period-The 32nd Infantry
counted six in thel final minutes OF
play in this period! when after work

defensive for most of this period.
Third period-Both teams came back
strong in this period. Boghan scored

of the goal posts and received credit
for a touchdown. Rasquin booted the
oval for the additional point. This pc
Tiod ended with the score a tie, IL
and.
Fourth period-The 32nd Infantry
came back to business in this period,
and after gaining possession of the
ball worked 1t to about the 20-yard
line. when Fleischman tried a goal
from field and succeeded. The root
ers Of the Baby" regiment went wild
at this juncture and pandemonium
re;ened for several minutes. How.
ever, their cheering was for the mo-
ment stilled. when the 1st gained pcs
session of the ball and brought 1t quite
close to the 32nd Infantry. A triple
pass was attempted succeeding part
way, but the final link was nabbed on
the 32nd Infantry's ten-yard line. with
the ball, Of course, in possession Of
the 1st Infantry. Just then, as the
lst Infantry rooters were getting
ready for some comeback at the 32nd,
the whistle sounded and the game was
won-by the 32nd Infantry. 1t was
then that the demonstration started.
The loyal rooters Of the Baby regi
ment, with their band at the head Of
the procession, started a parade of the
cantonment. The lineup:
