The great team consisting of De- Phillips, Hayward, Monaghan, and Williams played "touch" football this week and came through with "trailing" colors as usual. We fail to understand why this game is called "touch" football as from our observations we have seen everything short of mayhem committed in trying to tag the ball carrier. Incidently, T. "pinkie" on Sgt Krall injured his the first play and was the acting coach for the balance of the game, and we do mean "acting". Our adjutant, Capt. N. A. Roel- ler, is certainly "blazing" them down the alleys recently. He bowled an average of 187 for six games a few days ago, much to the discomforture of several fellow officers.
