Subject: ‘ATHLETIC UNDEFE: TED” Dear Sir: I notice in reading your papers, that there have been some contention be- tween the ‘“aptain of the Athletic and one, Mr. Lover of Football as to the de- feat of the Association. sT OCROGIE &N Lo, . Now it seems to me as though Mr. Lover of Football optical senses are nét very clear; as he simply glor:fies over the defeat by the Dreadnought, forget- ting that the Athletic Association, strict- ly speaking, did not play at all. Can he dare go honestly forward, and tell the six members of the Association who did not play that they were defeated, and the five that played likewise? Why, they would simply ignore him. Ah, M} Lover of Foothall, the eleve.. members of the Athletic Associatiou proper, can without a particle ot doubt, most certainly maintain their scronghold on the Dreadnought. This is no idle comment of mine, for the 26th provea it all. The Dreadnought were so infuriated by the stern resistance offered, in spite of the Athletic not having any real prac- tice, that a challenge was again sent for the Ist January. The members gladly accepted it but through unavoilable cir- cumstances six were unable to attend; therefore in order to carry ou:t the ad- vertisement, their ingenious cuptain did all in his power to bring th: missing number up and although he so far suc- ceeded, he was compelled after a few minutes playing to substitute the place of another member by a ten year old kid; hence in reality the game was five against eleven, what a defeat for a team as the Dreadnought. for Mr. Lover of Football to make such a boast over. Shame! Don’t be afraid of the Athletic Association, leave the Dreadnought to them and I am sure they will give them their pill pretty soon. Another thing I would like to bring to his notice is the personal acknowledge- ment of several of the playe's nf the Dreadnaught to me that the game was decidedly not equal, hence[ cannot see his reasons for denying the captain’s statement. I quite agree with you Hon. Captain that the Christiansted Atnletic Associ- ation remains undefeated and congratu- late you for your achievement for not disappointing the public. With thanks for space,. [ remai yours truly AN OLD FOOTBALLER. Christiansted, V. I. U. S. A. Jan. Bth 1920. To The Editor of the Avis.
