so much comment in Philadelphia when
Meade OfI1cers played the Marines and

spectators who sided with neither team.

who cheered impartially whenever a brill

The teams were quite evenly matched
on the line. The S14th had in Cullen
'bear-cat" center who played a wonder
full rowing game. He was in every play
with a vim and vision which aided his
outfit much in the results. Cullen also
did all of his teams punting, and his
spirals were extremely difficult to han
die. Hauser. at tackle. brought down
the big boys of 313 with a versatility
which met all Corners, and dispatched
them with an air insouciant. In the
backfield. Mackert and Lolly stood out
like giant battering rams or twentieth
century tanks in an attack "over the
top" Mackert hit the line and Lolly
ran the ends, and the two put together
did the pioneering into enemy territory
which brought the twelve points to
their team.
