104 THE C AERULEAN By being generous to ourselves, we conceded a possibility that we might hold them to 20-0. How gloriously mistaken we were! The day for the battle dawned with a heavy rain falling. The clouds were heavy with rain which had been coming down all night. The field of battle was one over- grown mud puddle, growing larger with the day. Straight football was all that could avail in this weather, so straight football it was. The half ended 2-0 with C. H. A. taking care of the zero because of an unlucky safety in the first quarter. Into the second half the teams dove, and the fight went on. Up and down the field the battle waged, with slipping and splashing and dousing and drowning galore. No place for flashy playing here, no tricks, no nothing, but just plain, hard football, and we were giving and taking and making them like it. Alas! with thirty seconds to play, we punted what turned out to be a perfectly good punt after a freak be- ginning. The referee took too much for granted, didnlt watch the ball, and gave it to Episcopal on our one-yard line. After being battered back from our goal all afternoon, they were not to be stopped now, and over they went to make the score 9-0. The final whistle then sounded mockingly with the cheers that arose. It was tough to lose that game as well as those to Penn Charter and Haverford, but they showed one thing: that where experience didnit count, and things called for bulldog football, C. H. was right there. That is why so few touch- downs were scored from our 10-yard line or on long steady marches it is also why we always finished stronger than we began. As in the beginning, the team was but a small bunch of luckless, fighting, inexperienced men, but they played with abandon that warmed the hearts of those who love a fighting team.
