In a tight game Sunday aftemoo.i
the Casuals football team won their
fifth su^oesslve victory by defeating

The igame was hanl fought and
during the first half chances seemed

outgeneraled the cadets, shoving two
twe touchdowns over the line in the
last half.’ McMillan, the Casual)' big
halfback ran 50 yards on a delayed

Stanfield rooted through center for
thej second score. Both goals after

Despite the fact that the score
was rather one-sided it must not be

organization—but ahem to lack en
durance and team work. Also, they

abotgiee of Fish Tom who was In-

The game was unusually hard

on the Company Championship. ' Bv
