Just a few lines, sidelights, on the game with the Marines in Washingtc
D.C., on November 1st. which the Devil Dogs won from the Infantry School, 39 to 0,
after one of the bitterest battles ever staged in Griffith’s Stadium. Few teams
can come up proud in defeat' If the Infantrymen wer*6 not proud, their surporters
were, anyhow. Like the old story of the fa.mei who said there was a lot of differ
ence between being:,saiis fied" and "contented,f• He said he was"sati3fied" Fhrmer
Jones was in love with his wife, but he was far from being "contented". So with tb
Doughty Doughboys. They are "satisfied" they put up the best exhibition of pure
gritty fighting, but thejr are far from "contented" with the outcome.
(The above is quoted from Infantry School News)
FROM FAR NORTH. Now and then from out of the frozen depths of the Arctic a warm
heart of V.F.W.ism creeps forth to tell us a comrade is still with us and aching to
elasp the hand of true veterans. Just such a comrade sent forth the call. Comrade
H.L.Kishtdr, Chilkoot Barracks, Alaska, sent an order for a V.F.W.ring to Quarter**
master General Handy. (Foreign Service Journal)
