Having been defeated live times, three of which were by one touch-' down, St. john's faced two of the strongest teams in the State. lt was at this stage that our team showed that all they needed was a chance for development. They had the spirit, as they fought every min- ute of the time, but they had lacked experience. The VV. M. C. and J. I-I. U. games will be remembered for many a day by St. .lohn's, for with an almost scoreless season behind them, they fought their way to victory. TEAM Annmavv fCapt.j ..... Left lind Coi.1.iNsoN ........

Our football season was a suc- cess, not from the number of games won or points scored, for both of these were small, but our team did as much as we expected, consider- ing the whole season. The season started with only three regular men of last year, the rest being some of last year's sec- ond team and men from prepara- tory schools, with no college foot- ball experience whatever. This is what Coach Wilson developed that beat W. M. C. and J. H. U. when certain defeat was in the mind of everyone, and too much credit can- BILLY

JOHN'S, 05 GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, 6 On October 7th St. -john's lost the initial game of the season in the last two minutes of play to G. XV. U. on our field. The character of the game was not indicated by the score, for it was slow. St. john's made thirteen lirst downs and G. XV. U. one. The lirst three quarters were replete with fumbles on both sides, St. 'Iohn's being on the aggressive throughout. The fourth quarter was a battle from start to tinish. Forward passes, end runs, line plunges and trick plays were tried by both sides, but in vain, until the last two ill-fated minutes for St. -lohn's, when George XVashington completed a long forward pass and carried the ball over the line for the only score of the game. Pepper of George Wfashington stood head and shoulders above the rest of his team. Clark, Lentzc and Bennett were the stars for St. -john's. was ' X 1 s f N s s xp .V 41.41. -v fn 9li+?li0?lE0?Zi+?lE0 if 119' xp AI.
