Both Dixon and Shepherd are
performers of the sensational
type. There is nothing in football
prettier to watch than a good
broken field runner. Dixon and
Shepherd excel in this line.

Thousands of grid fans tomor-

as sensational games, since all our

C. u, in it's game against Holy
Cross, proved that the Cardinals
know their forward passing game.

for the Western Maryland game,

BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
A shotgun roared in the darkness,
A moron fired and fled,
And the widow of Allen Wilson
Picked up her beloved-dead.
His crime was honest labor,
Winning his family bread.
Now we swear by the Holy Water,
By the salt the Brahmans ate,
That the slayers of Allen Wilson
Shall stand at Judgment s Gate.
With dozen honest Jurors,
Guarding our fair estate.
His Spirit calls for Vengeance
Here meath the Capitol's dome,
The voice of husband murdered,
Working for wife and home.
Demands the eye; demands the tooth,
The law we learned from Rome.
Tonight meath the robe of Mercy,
We march to service sweet,
With the Gods of Sport attending,
Where men of honor meet.
Where you who will may aid us,
Where you may be with pride,
To help the BARNS made orphans
When Allen Wilson died.
