Football Resume RETURNING to school on September 15, after a three-week training period at Camp Red Cloud, the varsity football squad, numbering twenty- six members, commenced the football campaign which resulted in the winning 0f the State Championship, and an undefeated and unscored-on team for the first time in the history of the school. For two consecutive years, under the tutelage of Coaches Armstrong and Howard TiDutch Eyth, McDonogh has been undefeated, winning twelve games and tying two. The school wishes to commend highly these coaches for turning out these splendid teams. Captain Paul Hornet, All-Maryland tackle for the past two years, is also to be commended for keeping up the spirit of this team throughout the entire season, and for his excellent judgment on the field of play. Edgar Allers, brilliant work at quarter-back, George Blankenshipis offensive and defensive play at half-back, and Royston Kingis superb performance at end, were the factors which enabled these players to be chosen on the A11- Maryland team. The winning of the championship, however, was the result of the splendid team play of the entire squad and the fine aggressive spirit which dominated their play. The Cadets amassed a total of 190 points, against their opponents o. This gives ample proof of the offensive and defensive ability of this team. TWENTYwS EVEN
