NEWCOMER AT GAME

Commander Bischoff's success was,
to say the least, unexpected. He took
up the game only a few months ago.
His playing yesterday, however, would
have done credit to an “old-timer” at
Hie game and marks him as one of the
coming local champions. He was
steady and accurate throughout and |
deserves great credit for his victory, j

G nse Hohan's St. John's College
eridclers closed their season with vic
tory defeating Pennsylvania Military
College. 14 to 6.
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.

At the close of his testimony.
Admiral Wilson was informed by
the board, through Rear-Admiral
Robertson, president, that his
status in the inquify is that of
an “interested party,” and as
such, he is entitled to be present
at all sessions, or have his repre
sentatives there. Whereupon,
the superintendent replied that
I his duties would prevent his reg
j ular attendance, and asked the
court to recognize Captain John
; J. Halligan, and Lieut. M. S. Tis
dale, as his representatives. The
two officers were already in at
tendance and the request was ac
ceded to without formality.
Admiral Wilson in his testi
mony, among other things, stated
that he did not attend the ball
i because ? e returned to Annapolis
. immediately after the game on

I Wilson. Speaking of alleged mis
conduct at the dance, Admiral
Wilson said that it was the duty
of any naval officer present, whe
