A GOOD SPORT STORY; BUT THERE IS SOUTHING WRONG.
"San Hrancisco, Dec, 24.- With a football painted red, Army
teams representing Co."E" 7th. Infantry, beat Company " ?" 6 to 0*
in a game played in six feet of snow at Home last Saturday, accord
ing to reports received at the presidio.
The message added; "Occasional delays resulted when the
bear mascot attempted to eat the ball and when the players treated
frost bites, but everything else was satisfactory,"
The above sport item was received from the Associated
Press by the Empire and it is a mighty fine story, but there are
no soldiers at Home who could have played that game. Companies "E"
and "E" Seventh Infantry, are stationed at Chilkoot Barracks, and
Company "G" at Anchorage. But it is a good story at that includ
ing the bear mascot trying to eat the ball etc,
