Wilcox passed to Stephen Love for the only Mitchell score. On the try for extra point Wilcox ran wide and completed the team’s scoring. Wilcox ran beautifully and amassed considerable yardage by the aerial route. Only a stubborn Milner de fense prevented him from stealing the show entirely. Champ Anderson crossed paydirt for winning Milner and Gene Hard ing made the extra point good. Larry Washburn took to the air for Sqd. 21 and led them to a 6-3 win over Sqd. 12 in another upper classman game. Larry Camillio snagged the winning aerial and ran 8 yards for the Sqd. 21 tally. With no chance of crossing the double stripe, Sqd. 12 kicked a field goal for their three points. Paul Duke was the difference for Walton Hall as it edged Hart 6-0. Duke shook loose for the long scoring jaunt at the 50-yard stripe. D-Infantry defeated A-TC 20-7 in the final Class A game. John Chamberlain led freshmen basketball scoring for the day, and capped A-FA’s 35-0 shutout over A-QMC. Chamberlain sank six baskets.
