The Chester lads fought bravely and gallantly to turn hack the invasion of the Cadets of St. John's in the an nual Thanksgiving Day gridiron clash 1 etween the two oldest military col leges in the country. The outcome gave St. John's a real revenge for jthe 3-to-0 leating handed her a year jago by the Chester Cadets, and the j little group of invaders came back to tho'r home haunts rejoiced with the ! game they had bagged. Forwrd |’ss The “Coeds” ; Both teams launched into an aerial offensive and it was ‘he effectiveness of the forward passing game which I 'old th<* difference in the scores and | gave the verdict of the battle to the I Southern visitors. AH three of the; 1 touchdowns, scored during the game were made on forward passes, and, \ in, addition, in the case of all three the path was paved for it by an aer j iai attack. i P. M. C. Position.
