Secretaries Lamont and Herbert have
decided that there shall be DO more con-
tests at football between the cadets at
Annapolis and West Point. This action
is taken because of a conviction that the
interacademic matches are detrimental to
discipline and to the studies of the cadets.
The order issued in the case of West Point
is as follows:
1.-THE game of football will be permitted
at the United States Military Academy
under such regulations as may now OF
hereafter be prescribed by the superin-
tendent. He may permit teams from other
institutions to visit West Point and TO
play there with the academy's team. but
the team of cadets is prohibited from en-
gaging in matches elsewhere"
AS similar order has been issued In
the case of the Naval Academy, it is ap-
parent that the two teams cannot meet
again.
