BRILLIANT WIND UP.
The close OF the game was u period of
intense enthusiasm. The Army men got
the ball WITHIN three feet OF their goal
and there the fight lasted With the Army
men Just in sight OF victory for five min
| utes. THIS intensity was more than the
fair rooters for the garrison coulu stand
They broke away from the graudStanu,
got over the ropes and round and under
the ropes and crowded pell nell UP to tile
very ragged edge of the COmbatauts-
The &. y. c. men on the balcony were
intensely excited as was indeed every body
else. The young lady in the telt hat
! shouted to the balcony, shut up and
| While a lot Of this was in progress time
was called and the game was over with
| ten points TO the credit of either side. The
Army rooters held an open air mass meet
ing III Viii N Juey Oiled eaCu uturr and
assured each other that had it not been
for the call Of time the Army men Would
have Won the gama- They hurried orr
the field in the best possible humOr to
catch their boat back to Fort Monroe.
Capt. Pullman and Lieut.. S4uIer, who
| came up with the crowd, said that they
were not i'll the best of form, but they
lad the winning team in q series against
the c. a. c. That opinion is not shared by
tie {. 4. C., who VIII show up, they claim
in great shape, not only against the West
pointers, but against the college teams

gentlemen can play against each other. 1t
was a fine exhibition Of football in every
respect, and very largely in tie respect
iat the clubs retain the respect Of each
| other.
