The fighting team of Augusta Military Academy defeated the Blue and Gold ;leven by a score of 6-0 last Friday af- ernoon on Kable field. As it was the

first clash between the two ancient ivals since 1921, a crowd of about 1700

was on hand to witness the struggle which was played for Staunton and Augusta charities. During the second quarter Jones, A. M. A., captain and

[fullback, crossed the Staunton goal line [for the only score of the game and was igreeted with deafening roars from the

Fort Defiance rooters. The entire game was one of the best

ever witnessed on Kable Field. How- ever, no sensational runs were seen, but a picture of a hard fought and deserv- ingly won battle was viewed. Both teams gave everything they had, but Augusta seemed to have just a little more.

With a hard running backfield arid a mashing line, A. M. A. opened up the first quarter with a threatening march toward the S. M. A. goal posts. Swink and Bethea, Augusta quarter and half- backs respectively, made several nice runs but the gains were halted by the timely substitution of Earle, hard-hitting Staunton fullback, who rallied his

I team and started a retaliating march. 1 Jack played exceptionally well consider-

ing his injured foot. Both squads fought hard during the entire quarter, and at no time were cither in scoring position.

The second quarter commenced with } both teams exchanging punts and play-

ing very conservative football. A. M. A. then started an aerial attack which net-

! ted for them quite a bit of yardage, | Swink doing an excellent job of ball [ throwing. These passes were batted

, down by the Hilltoppers on their own ; thirty yard line, and after several un-

successful line plunges they punted, i A. M. A. received the punt on their own : thirty-five yard line and also tried, sev-

eral failing attempts to pierce the Big Gold line. Jones, A. M. A., got off a beautiful kick from his own thirty-five yard line that landed sixty yards away into the arms of Thomas, who was nail- ed on his two yard marker.

S. M. A. immediately kicked, but . Painter's punt went bad and rolled back I to the ten yard line. Jones, A. M. A., - tried twice to find an opening, but the

fighting Staunton line held. They fought like maniacs, but on the third down, A. M. A. managed to get through,

I and the score became six to nothing. Jones attempted another line plunge for the extra point, but was thrown back by Earle one foot from the line.

The Staunton team came back with blood in their eyes. Near the end of the half Zelonis, S. M. A. halfback, in-

; tercepted a pass on his own forty yard j line and ran wild for fifty-five yards

before being downed on the Augusta five yard marker. The true fighting, blocking, hard hitting, hard running form of the Blue and Gold gridsters was shown by the beautiful interference for Zelonis. Staunton failed in two attempts to smash Augusta's line and then threw a pass which Jones, A. M. A., got his hands on. After a few more plays the half ended with A. M. A. clinging to their scant six point lead.

; Both squads went to the limit during ' the third quarter. Both seemed to gain

ground but not enough to cause any danger. Bus Male, brilliant S. M. A. quarterback, showed some real playing. Fighting, twisting and running he gave the Augusta tacklers no end of trouble. He always eluded several before being downed with never less than two on top of him. Bus showed the real spirit of

W. W. Members Candidates For 1933 Debating Team

Following the Woodrow Wilson Lit- erary Society meeting last Saturday night, Major Brice had all men out for the debating team assembled. Cadets C. W. Cook and C. P. Carey, who had vol- unteered to make informal debates for this meeting, presented the major points of the topic, and then had rebuttal con- test.

The topic for debate is : "Resolved— That fifteen per cent of all broadcasting facilities be set aside for educational purposes." This question caused a great deal of discussion among the debating candidates, who are Cadets Casto, Cook, C. W., Thomson, Cochrun, Bernstein, Ramirez, Carey, D. P., dc Veer, and Voss. Cadets Thomson and Casto will open the discussion tomorrow night, and Cadets Cochrun and Voss will debate a week from that time.

Letter From A. M. A. Corps

The fol1 owing letter was received from the student body of Au- gusta Military Academy shortly after the game:

Friday, December 2, 1932. President of the Student Body, Staunton Military Academy, Staunton, Virginia.

To the President of the Stu- dent Body, the Cadet Corps, the Principals and Faculty of the Staunton Military Academy: Gentlemen:

On petition of our Corps and especially out football team, we wish to express our sincere ap- preciation of the true hospitality shown us today, and our great respect of your manly, cleancut, fair, football team.

You showed us every possible courtesy and kindness and proved yourselves the acme of sportsmen by being the best of losers.

Our corps, collectively and individually, have acclaimed your team the cleanest, fairest and hardest fighting organization which it has been our pleasure to witness in action. Our team has

Kablegram Picks Earle Male, Shuker, and Bell

To Place on All-State

Above is THE KABLEGRAM'S All-State prep school football eleven. The sports department of this paper has chosen the players for its mythical team with the co-operation of the coaches at S. M. A. and other football enthusiasts of this vicinity. No player, of course, was con- sulted.

The choice sees four men from Staun- ton, three from Woodborry Forest, state prep champs, and one each from Episcopal High School, Augusta Mili- tary Academy, Danville Military Insti- tute, and Swavely.

Captain Rodney Bell, of S. M. A., was chosen for the left end position because of his brilliant playing all year. Few plays directed at his side of the line ever got into full swing.

Lewis Shuker, of S. M. A., won the left guard position with very little debate. His ability on the defensive to smear plays and on the offensive at guarti and in kicking extra points, gave him a big lead for bis position on the team.

"Bus" Male was picked almost unani- mously for the quarterback position. He has started in practically every game, and all the games were marked by the strategy in running plays, and his brilliant offensive and deiensive play. He is one of the best broken field runners S. M. A. has yet seen.

JacK Earle was placed in the fullback position after some deliberation. An in- jury kept him from his best work in the two final games of the season, but his impressive record up to thc#timc that he was hurt, finallv counted enough in his favor to carry him through.

"90 Yard Kelly" '30 is Swarthmore Capt. for '33

lames F. (90-yard) Kcllcy, S. M. A. '30. was recently elected to captain the 1933 football squad at Swathmore. Kel- ly, while here, played company football on "C" Company's battalion champion- ship team. It was in a close game with "B" Company that Kelly, in the closing minutes of play .with the score 0-0, picked up a "B" Company fumble on his ten-yard line and raced 90 yards for a touchdown to save the day for Company "C." From then on he was known as 90-yard Kelly. It was a fortunate feat for "C" Company, as it was "B" Com- pany's ball on the "C" Company ten- yard line, second down and goal to go. The South Barracks line was crumbling and it looked like a touchdown for the North Barracks boys until the costly fumble. o

Xmas Dance Will Take Place the Eve of Dec. 16

"Struttin Fo' de Cake" Annual Cadet Show Is Unique Performance

"Struttin' fo' de Kake," the annual production of the corps of cadets of the Staunton Military Academy, which is to be produced some time in February, is an event which is unique in the realm of entertainment. A strong spirit of competition causes platoons and individuals to vie with each other, through original stunts, cleverness in Peerade events, and smoothness in Kake-walking, to possess the coveted awards of beautiful cups and delicious cakes.

Stunt nights have long held a place in the campus activities of the corps, but not until 1932 was the performance put into its present form. This first production found 185 cadets taking part in some form or other.

At nresent the program is composed of four parts. First is the Grand Pee- rade, made up of individuals and groups, representing characters and events, usually in caricature, or the foibles of the modern age. The second division is made up of company stunts. The third part of the program gives the entertainment its title, "Struttin' fo' de Kake," in which the kake-walkers call forth spontaneous bursts of applause with their clever stepping, fantastic costumes, and novel stunts. The fourth division is the dancing, in which the audi- ence is cordially invited to participate.

In no other nlacc can one find such clear, varied entertainment. It is now the duty of each cadet to use his brains to think up new schemes for the stunts and the peerade, to be used by his company. Cadets are urged to submit their ideas immediately to their company chairman in order that properties and costumes may be brought from home at the close of the Christmas holidays. All aspirants for Kake-Walking should strive to find suitable costumes at home also.

Captain George A. Gould, faculty director of the production, will lie glad to receive suggestions and give assistance to all who may need it. He issues the follolwing appeal to the corps : "Let us all strive to continue the success of this production by making this performance bigger, better, cleaner than its predeces- sor. If you individually do you share, there will be no doubt of the final performance."

The last dance of the year before Christmas will take place the evening of Friday, December 16. This hop will be informal, and will be featured by an out-of-town orchestra, the identity of which has not yet been decided. The tariff has not yet been determined, and will be governed by the demands of the orchestra.

Ticket Salesmen To Be On "Hill" in Near Future

On Monday, December 12, at 2:00 p. m., the men who take orders for rail- road tickets will be here again. Ar- rangements have been made by the military department as to the order to which cadets will go to make their reserva- tions.

Major Patch expressed the hope that all cadets on Christmas furlough will remember that their every action re- flects on the uniform and on the corps in general.

Letters have been sent home telling the parents that the furlough starts at noon the 21st and ends reveille January 11.

German Students Will Write to Foreign Boys

The members of Captain Benson's German class are attempting to start a correspondence with German boys. The cadets want to write in German to the boys, who will correct their letters and then answer them in English, to be cor- rected by the cadets. Those on the correspondence list are: Lang, C. J.; Pre- bol, T. J.; Schmidt, L. H.; Roessing, C. H.; Menezer, J. B.; Menezer, L. F.; MacFayden, N. G.; Cole, R. E.; Eggi- mann, E. L.; Bloom, M. I.; Plitt, H. G.; Shaler, J. B.; Butcher, H. K.; Feuer- stein, R. E., and Williams, R. F.

Cadet Ackhart, who was in Germany during the summer, has been corre- sponding with German boys since his return to the United States in August, and has written his friends concerning the plan. The terms should be satis- factory, as the Germans are very interested in learning English.

Football Letter Men Will Receive Letters Dec. 9th

Captain Summers, in a recent inter- view, announced the members of the team who are to receive their varsity letters, which are to be presented at the annual banquet that will probably be held on Friday night, December 9. Cap- tain Summers further stated that tlio captain of next year's eleven will be elected at that time.

The letter men are as follows: Bell (captain), Male, Thomas, Cramer, Fay, I ainter, Salassa, Earle, Cranor. Klep- per, Morse, Sharpe, De Liberty, Zelonis, Shuker, Sypherd, and Ackart (manager).

Reply to A. M. A. Corps

December 6, 1932 Mr. R. K. Bailey, President of Student Body Augusta Military Academy Fort Defiance, Virginia Dear Sir:

In behalf of the Corps of Cadets of Staunton Military Academy and especially of its football team, I wish to express our deep apprecia- tion of your very kind letter of the 2nd.

It was indeed a great pleasure to be host to your corps and to your team, and we join you in expressing

every wish that there indeed may be many years of cordial friendship between these two famous old schools.

In regard to the game, there is no question in the mind of any cadet in the corps or of any man on our squad that your team outplayed us in every department of the game. Our hats are off to your corps for its spirit and to your team for its ability and its fight, and to both for their true sportsmanship.

Cordially yours, JERRY DEI. PRETE, Cadet Major

'A" Co. First Platoon Wins Competition of

Wednesday, Nov. 30

The first platoon of "A" Company walked away with a victorious margin of 4 per cent over their nearest com- petitor, "C" company's first platoon, in the platoon competitions which were held the afternoon of Wednesday, Nov- ember 30th.

In spite of the fact that an "A" Com- pany platoon won first place, Company "C" placed highest for the average of its two platoons.

Each platoon from each company w;as judged, with reference to particular items of movements, by members of the tactical staff. The items which counted were the movement as a whole, com- mands of officers, execution by the non- commissioned officers, covering in file, dress in squads, swinging of arms, and alignment of pieces. Grading was done on the numerical basis of 100. Mistakes bjf commissioned officers subtracted four points, by non-coms three points, by corporals two, and by privates one. The sum of the grades submitted by the tactical officers was divided by the number of judges; thus the average for the platoon was found.

The company rating in the platoon competitions was made by simply aver- aging the grades earned by each platoon. First place—1 platoon, Co. "A"..86.75% Second place—1 platoon, Co. "C" 82.75% Third place—2 platoon, Co. "('"..81.56%

Sons of Rotarians are Entertained at Banquet

Prominent N. J. Citizen Was Interested in School

Activities

DID MUCH IN PROMOTION OF BIBLE STUDY INTEREST

Six S. M. A. cadets attended the Rotary Club banquet held on November 29 for the sons of foreign members of the organization. Cadets dejesus, Ram- irez and Fajardo spoke for Porto Rico: Fernandez for Cuba; Kirkpatrick for Costa Rica; and Sze for China. Cadet Huffman introduced all cadets present to the assemblage.

These brief addresses were followed by a lecture on Spain by Dr. Martinez professor of Spanish at Mary Baldwin College.

S. M. A. cadet sons of Rotarian fathers were present at a banquet held by the Rotary Club of Staunton the sixth of December. These cadets were: Brooks, Huffman, Klepper, Smith, F. J., Staff, and Weston.

Entertainment was furnished by the students of Mary Baldwin College and Stuart Hall.

Karly last Sunday morning a telegram was received advising us of the death of Mr. George E. Scherer of 155 Park Ave., Madison, N. J. In the passing of Mr. Scherer the Academy loses one of its most loyal and faithful friends, and one who has contributed in various ways to the welfare of the corps. His deatli was due to an ailment with which he had suffered for years and for which he had at one time undergone a very serious operation.

In January, 1921, Mr. Scherer's son, Paul Scott Scherer, entered the Acad- emy and in only a few weeks after his arrival he contracted scarlet fever of which he died. Both Mr. and Mrs. Scherer came here and took his body home. While the loss was to them a very great one they became interested in the corps and wished to be of some help to the rest of the boys in the school where their own boy had been so happy for the short time he was a cadet. Consequently they continued to make frequent visits to the Academy and sought ways to be of service to the cadets.

Particularly was Mr. Scherer interested in the teaching of the Bible as a full time course of study, and as an induce- ment to the members of the class he offered a watch as a prize to be given annually to the one doing superior work in that class.

These prizes have been awarded as follows:

1922—Harvey L. Reed, of Ohio. 1923—-William J. Turnbull, of Massa-

chusetts. 1924— Albert J. Gilligham, of Mich-

igan. 1925—Jack D. Gunther, of New York. 1926—Nelson E. Finch, of New Jersey. 1927—Frank Diedrich, of New Jersey. 1928—Julian S. Rapp, of New Jersey. 1929—Russell R. Bender, of Maryland. In 1930 Arthur H. Fink led the class

but as he did not meet the requirements, it was not awarded to him, and for the session 1930-31 the class was not held.

Mr. Scherer was also interested in the work, particularly to the flower fund time to time made contributions to its work particularly to the flower fund and a fund to provide magazines for the [nfirmary. On his visits he addressed the "Y" meetings, always giving good, helpful talks.

The Club House plan was originated by Mr. Scherer and the intention was to have a building on the grounds avail- able as a stopping place for alumni on their visits and also as a place for rec- reational facilities. He proposed to build such a building at a cost of approxi- mately $50,000.00 provided the Alumni Association would provide for its main- tenance and support by creating an en- dowment sufficient to do so.

Mr. Scherer was a contractor and builder and has developed a large business in that line. He was a member of the Official Board of the Madison Meth- odist Church and prominent in Masonic circles. He had many friends both in Staunton and in Madison who will mourn his loss. The Academy extends to Mrs. Scherer its most sincere sympathy in this lo.ss^

DON'T LET UP

With Christmas furlough so close

at hand, and prospective reports clue

to precede us home, it would be

wise if some of us would focus our

undivided attention on academic

subjects.

There is a general tendency to let

down by some, and allow this work

to slide. Any leanings in this direc-

tion should be checked at once.

Hard work from now on until the

corps' dismissal for Christmas fur-

lough should find us with all sub-

jects well in hand upon return to

school.

The period from after furlough

until the second quarter exams is

not only short, but is one of the

most trying of the school year.

Those who begin their vacation now

by knocking off work at this time

will find themselves hopelessly lost

at exam time. Those who study up

until the final day will not regret the

time thus spent. It must be remem-

bered that exemptions from exam-

inations are in order this quarter.

The time to work for them is now.

STAUNTON City of Romance and Tradition

By ELIZABETH MOODY, in Campus Comments, of Alary Baldwin

College Where Alary Baldwin girls walk every

day upon the old bricks of Frederick street, a hundred and fifty years ago maids in crinoline skirts waved to buck- skin-clad pioneers, riding westward to pierce the unknown wilds beyond the Alleghanies; curious housewives gath- ered around the covered wagon caravans arriving every day from the coast to trade with valley settlements. Often in colonial days, sturdy settlers of Staun- ton watched the polished carriages of the socially elect from Tidewater and the Carolinas who passed through the town every year, bound for Hot Springs and a gay season. Laughing, gorgeous- ly dressed young sons and daughters of planters ,austere old ladies, and gouty, bewigged old Englishmen who owned half the land in the colonies, were followed by their wagon trains of negro servants in livery with baggage and horses.

Staunton, like most Virginia cities, is rich in the traditions of American history. It is two hundred years old, hav- ing been founded by a band of thirty Scotch-Irish settlers led by Colonel John Lewis. This pioneer dreamed of a little city on the splendid stretch of country which the Indians coveted as a hunting ground for buffalo, deer, and bear meat. One mile cast of Staunton is "Bellfont," the old home of Lewis, with his grave nearby.

The settlement was not really estab-

lished until 1838, when it was officially named for Lady Staunton. the wife of Governor Gooch, a colonial governor. Mr. William Beverly, a wealthy land- owner, donated twenty-five acres for the location and erection of a jail and court- house, and so the town lots were laid, forty-four of them, each containing half an acre. There were six original streets; those running east and west were Frederick, Beverly, and Johnson. Augusta, Lewis, and Water streets ran north and south. The names and loca- tions of these streets remain the same today.

Staunton was made the seat of government of the Northwest Territory, which extended to the Afississippi River and included the present states of West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illi- nois, Afichigan, Wisconsin, and western Pennsylvania. Thus this city's history is identified with the records of the na- tion.

During the Revolution, war came close to Staunton only once. The Virginia Legislature, assembled in Richmond, went to Charlottesville when pursued by Tarleton and his British forces, but there, too, they were followed and so came to Staunton, where they held :es- sion for three days in the Trinity Epis- copal Church, on Beverlv street. Thom- as Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and other prominent Virginians were in this law- making assembly. Soon, however, the Britishers marched toward this city, so once again the members fled, so hur- riedly that tradition says Patrick Hemy left Staunton wearing only one boot.

In the War Between the States, Staun- ton was the base of supplies for Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and for

Jackson's Valley Campaign. In Thorn rose Cemetery lie buried 3,000 soldier of the Confederacy, while in a sma walled cemetery on Staunton's easter city limit lie 750 Northern men.

The forest-covered hills around th city abound in historic sites, aroun which have been woven tales of India life and massacres. Betsy Bell AIoun tain, Staunton traditions say, got it name from the ill-fated girl who wa killed there by the Indians, as also di Alary Gray Mountain, nearby.

In more recent history Staunton is th birthplace of Woodrow Wilson, famou war president. Movie fans will add tha William Haines was also born here.

Staunton has the distinction of bein the first city to practice the city manage form of government, which is now wide ly employed as a municipal type of goi eminent.

Apart from historical associations Staunton is an educational center. Afar Baldwin College, Staunton Militat Academy, Stuart Hall, the Virgini School for the Deaf and Blind, and tw business schools are located in the citw Staunton's present population is aboil twelve thousand.

S. M. A.-A. M. A. Meet On Gridiron for First

Time in Eleven Years

Word of an athletic meeting between Staunton Military Academy and Au- gusta Military Academy, of Fort De- fiance, came as a surprise to the corps in that it was the first of such meetings in 11 years. Ever since a misun- derstanding 11 years ago, athletic relations between the two schools have been abolished. Whether the post- game played for the benefit of local charity will be taken as the resumption of athletic relations between the two schools is not known. For years the rivalry between the two schools had been bitter, based on no logical reasons at all. The meeting of the two teams on the gridiron with both corps in at- tendance was seen by some as the pos- sibility of more trouble. Though the spirit ran exceedingly high on each side, all causes for alarm were utterly un- founded. Both teams played a hard- fought game without a single let-up, driven on by the desire to win, and ex- horted by the tumultous spirit of two raving corps. Conduct at the game reached perfection. The interval before the game and during the half was made to pass quickly by the entertainment furnished by both corps.

The S. M. A. battalion, first on the field, stepped smartly on with measured tread to the stirring music of the cadet band. In the middle of the field the batallion halted in column of platoons. At the signal from the battalion commander, the corps rapidly formed the letters "A. M. A." At the completion of the manceuver a "Big IS A. M. A." split the air as the corps cheered its rivals. Then the original formation was resumed, and facing toward the S. M. A. stands a cheer for the team was given. This done, the companies moved off to their seats in the stands.

Immediately following the seating of the local cadets, the visiting battalion marched on the field in fine order. There followed some clever movements and the letter "S" and "M" then "A" were displayed. The A. M. A. Cadets then cheered our team and their own, after which they retired to their stands.

The appearance of the S. M. A. war- riors on the field led to their receiving a wonderful ovation from their backers in the stands. With one accord the corps stood up and cracked the ether with a thunderous and continuous wave of noise that engulfed all else. When the A. M. A. team trotted on the field, their backers gave them a fine hand also.

The game was soon under way. A report of the game is contained else- where in this issue.

At the completion of the first half, a tumbling team from V. M. I. secured by Augusta, put on an interesting act. After the tumbling, the S. M. A. crack Silent Drill team took the field. A fine show of co-ordination and smart drill was exhibited. The three volleys caught the crowd unawares. After the first one, any handling of the pieces caused the spectators to anticipate another crashing roar. At the end of the ex- hibition drill the teams took the field of battle again.

The end of the game saw no out-of- the-way demonstrations whatsoever. Victors and losers proved themselves good sportsmen all.

The night before the game a big pep meeting was held in the gym. Cheer- ing practice was held and several speech- es were made. Jim Kenney, faithful trainer, gave an inspiring talk. He was followed by Mr. Gilpin Wilson, S. M. A. alumnus, and footballer. He prom- ised to be with the team from the side- lines, and he was. Col. T. H. Russell was the last to address the meeting. His speech served to take some of the unreasonableness out of the- rivalry. The meeting then broke up.

At the evening mess following defeat, the corps gave the team the most impressive greeting ever given a team here. Had we won, better spirit could not have been shown. The sound rolled through the mess hall, and as the deafening din showed no signs of abating, the Cadet- Major was forced to bring order again. It was a superfine show of S. M. A. spirit.

LETTER FROM A. M. A.

(Continued From Page One) commented on the fact that it was a pleasure to play against your men, because they were, though hard fighting, clean both in speech and action. Your men, both team and corps, are certainly gentlemen and sportsmen of the highest degree, and we know that they reflect the high character of your coach, Captain Summers. Though there has been a certain little bitterness between our schools in the past, we sincerely hope that today has banished anything of that nature between us. We are sure on our part, and only hope that you will consider today, if not a renewal of athletic re'ationship, certainly a beginning of true friendship between the two corps.

Sincerely thanking you for your hospitality and kindness,

(Signed) R. K. Bailey, President E. R. Clarke, Vice-President Joe C. P. Timberlake, Treasurer S. W. Minor, Jr., Secretary

S. M. A. Basketeers Plan To Outdo Past Records

Early this week the varsity basketball practice was begun in earnest. Due to the post-season football game with Au- gusta, the date for the beginning of practice had to be set back, but this week Coach Summers took all the aspirants to the team in hand and began to' whip them into shape. In previous years the Gold basketeers have managed to compile an enviable record, winning the South Atlantic Prep School title in 1931 and being runners-up to that title last year while winning the State Champion- ship. After the South Atlantic tournament the Kableites journeyed up north lo Glen Falls, N. Y., to play in a meet there, and though not quite so successful against the northern style of playing, still managed to bring back two cups, one for the least number of personal fouls against the team, and the other for the most valuable player. The first named award denotes clean, sports- manlike playing on the part of the team, while the second, which was won by "Bus" Male, star guard, denotes the value to his team of a single player. Although losing several lettermen by graduation, Coach Summers expects to form a new, powerful team from the varsity of last year and the new ma- terial on hand this year.

Last year's veterans are: Jerry Del Prete, captain and guard; "Bus" Male, guard; Don Klepper, guard, and "Court" Schenck, forward. o

A. M. A. DEFEATS S. M. A.

(Continued From Page One)

S. M. A. Shuker also made many beautiful tackles and showed a great amount of fight. Both of these boys had the whole A. M. A. team worried.

Staunton pulled several of their most reliable plays in the fourth quarter. The old "Statue of Liberty" gained fifteen yards, and Male almost got away on the double lateral. "Red" Morse snared several nice passes thrown by Earle, but never managed to get away. Staunton gained considerable ground but was finally stopped on the Augusta twenty yard stripe.

Augusta played very conservatively and used nothing but line bucks and end runs. They gained very little ground and were busy most of the time trying to halt the fierce S. M. A. drive. The game ended in Augusta territory with the ball in their possession.

The game as a whole was hard fought and very cleanly played. Few penalties were made because of this fact.

The A. M. A. coach told a KAHLEGRAM reporter after the game when asked his opinion of it, "It was one of the cleanest and hardest fought games I have ever seen. I would like to see athletic relations between our schools continued. 1 hope that it can be arranged so we can play each year."

We still get a kick out of that inci- dent in the Fork Union game. Male, playing safety man, signaled for a fair catch in receiving a Fork Union punt. Whereupon a F. U. player called out, "What's the matter? Are you afraid to run with it?" The very next time Fork Union punted Male caught it and ran it back 62 yards through the whole Fork Union team for a touchdown. Tt was a fitting reply to so stupid remark.
