The flower of the 3d Corps' gridiron warriors tried desperately to penetrate the Marine cordon in the clash at Clark Griffith Stadium, but Suld do nothing more than impress by their gameness the 40000 on- sokers thronged in the big park. The sea soldiers, however, not only kept their goal inviolate, but rallied gallantly as the struggle waned and ~tormed their way to a 7-to-0 victory.
