their fancy "tumbllng"
Il dropped rain a little during the
first half, but most OF the fans were So
excited that II dropped unnoticed
The wind was blowing toward the
north goall. Between the halves the
sun came out
Those freshly chalked lines added
greatly 10 the appearance OF the field
The Chesterites were there in force
| Il is estimated that fully 700 students
and other supporters OF the orange and
Black came 10 Wilmington TO see their
team taste defeat.

Mr.. Snyder, head OF the science de-
partment OF the High School, calcu-
lated yesterday that the energy the
teams used would have run a i0O-ton
locomotive 67.7 miles over level track,
would have lifted 100 pounds S5393
miles high, or would have lasted a
woman haranguing her husband min
utes and Il seconds.
Mr.. Snyder also calculated that II all
Of the "Hully Canutes," ," "Skimmerinks"|
and "skyrockets" were turned into
electrical power, they would have IL
the city Of Wilmington until
time for the next Chester game.
Chester's husky bunch got a big
cheer when they galloped out on the

Jazzland was at Eighteenth and Van
Buren strets when the trombones, saxO- !

han the dreams Of his supporters. In
act the entire Wilmington team play
d Ike demons, better than they
new how"
It was dramatic TO the point OF suf-
Dcstion" TO see Hayes, Webb, Schaefer
nd Bounds plunge headnrst into the
cree maelstrom OF players and emerge !

The first touchdown. that by Hayes, {
voked a tremeidous burst Of sound
Millikin played as II inspired. Again :

ace and nailed the runner.
A man rushed on the field from the a
hester side, during the first quarter. a
Id started TO make trouble. but every II
ling was "amicably" settled by the g
)lice. That was the nearest to a riot v
lat occurred. There were ten officers v

Trick plays were comparatively v
arce. Both teams resorted TO straight :
Otball most Of the time.
In the first quarter Rose had a chance
prove himself a hero. when he ran

The contest ended with the ball on
