True to her promise 81. j. 4. cap
turcd Il victory from Lyndon lnStl-
tutc Saturday afternoon. 1t WAS Il
rather cold day and the team had 10
play fast to keep from freezing. This
accounts for the speedy game. Iyn-
don received, running the ball bacl.
about - yards, and fror, their 20
yard line, by Il series Of good line
plun2os and end runs, the ball We;
advanced to Their 60 yaI"l line whcl c
they were forced to punt. May, by Il
number Of we'll picked plays, pushed
the ball down the entire length Of
the field, where Lanphcr, Guiding all
opposing players glided over the line
for the fist touchdown Of the game.
The goal was n.isscd.
At the beginning second ouul ter,
Lanphcl, tearing Lyldon's defence TO
shrcds, icl over the line of touch
down No. ,. This time luck was
with Ashton and he placed the bail
squarely between the goal posts far
above the cross bar. The first half
ended with Il score Of $40 in st. is
favor.
Things looked bad for st. J. in TIC
opening five minutes of the scco.d
half; the institute putting two touch
downs over on the home team. This
was accomplished only by the aid Of
two perfect forward passes. Beth
goals were missed; one Of which they
were forced to kick from their four
yard line. Once more Lanphcr woke
up and dashed over IS yards fo"
touchdown No. s. Owing to slight
misrepresentation Of Ashton's inter-
tions, the referee put the ball in play
before the captain was ready, thus
causing the sacrifice Of the one point
allowed for Il goal. Towards the
close OF the game, the IlstitUte aG
grcg@tion planned to put one over on
LanDhcr in the form Of another for
ward pass, bat he intercepted it, run

Letters From Soldiers

From Sergeant Peter VI. johnson
written from Ochtendung, Germany.
Dear Sister:
Things here are going along about
the same old gait. We were ~inoculat-
ed again yesterday and 1 am confined
to quarters today, consequently this
letter. L hope this will be the last
shot" L get, not that IL hurts and
Is for our own good. but still / would
Just as soon do without II. Other
wise. l am feeling fine.
h weather has not been so good
for the last couple of days and last
night we had a pretty heavy fall of
snow but it is not cold and by night
1t will be most all gone2
/ believe nearly all of the National
Army Divisions are scheduled to leave
during the spring. / wish we were as
lucky. i o sometime ago that the
men in the army of occupation did not
want to go back. Well, somebody
must AVE been slipping the guy who
wrote hat a pill and was seeing things
or else must have been in some other
part of the country than where we
are. / never met anybody who want
ed to stay here any longer than he
had to.
II you let them do away with tobac-
co in the States while we are away
there is going to be an awful boiler
raised some day. 1t is bad enough
that he country is dry but IL they
manage to put the anti-tobacco meas
ure over, / for one am going to South
America. If they had put all those
things through while all the young
fellows were home I would have
given them credit for il. But il ]
were to express my opinion OF the way
they did II I do not think it would
pass the censor.
Your brother,
pINr,E~D
