Outside Of that bit Of business the
Old Liners sparkling defensive work
was as beautiful as you would want to
fasten a cold-bleared eye upon. It
bristled and radiated during every mo-

moments Of lapse during the third
chukker.
Toss up your hat for Shorty Chal-
mers when looking for the afternoons
bright spots. That boy made himself
SO important on the field Of battle that
when he walks in as company some one
ought to hand him two chairs.
Shorty can wing the ball to an ends
vest pocket without asking the shortest
route. He can detour the leather grape
fruit past IL boulevard stops without
getting a bump in his tenders; he can
send that ball as straight as a second
looey on parade, and make it stick like
a bad rumor.

Which would have given any one man

And while the tough Kentucky
Colonies were laying plans to stop Chal-
mers from here to Baltimore, Paul Kier-
nan, the fast-toed Washington back,
usually stepped into the picture to rifle
the Wildcat eleven of a handful Of
yardage. Herman not only carried the
leather splendidly, but he was alert on
the defense. upsetting Cat ball car

Shipwreck Kelly is just that. He is

Tech coach, with a pair of glasses
fastened on fleeing Kelly, argues that
the fastest Wildcat is twins.
Are those Kentuckians tough? The
game had not gone far before the Old

constant attempts of the Colonel backs
to pound through. Woods, playing
splendid defensive game in Maryland's
backfield. was carried of. Keen was as
sisted of the field and half dozen
other Old Line men teetered and tot

Aside from another Maryland's
dangerously long passes and Kelly's
break around end, the battle was one
