But I gu-a when you are In sport you 1iavt to expect 3ust such tOTJFh breaks. However, I am satisfied with the showing during season and although I will loae several of my etira I hope to have as troo-l a team. If not better, for next season.

I want to offer my thanks to the people of tt. Louis. I been over the country, played on many gridirons myself, but folks right here are the fairest an1 most appreciative I ever met. I worked hard since coming here to give Washington University a winner and I'll never be satisfied until I develop the champions of the Missouri Valley. By Coach Bewlek.

But I instructed my team not to b- too confident. The heavy field hamiioaroed us and on a fist gridiron we would have male a be-ter showing.

Of course, it was a lucky play that a'lowed Washington to put the ML: where It did on that forward paw. hcl we were lucky that it happened Just when it flld. and kept us from losing a game that almost alipped out of nnr reach. In the third period, yuarieroacit 'McCarthy, c. P.
