Warren was back in his place at right half-back after two weeks on the sick list. Fincke, who is the second choice for quarter-bac was also back and took Daly's place during part of the afternoon practice. He played a fast game and ran well with the ball. Though the chances of turning out a good varsity eleven have much improv- ed of late, there is no concealing the fa- tai dearth of substitutes for the three center positions.
 The team and coaches will leave for West Point tomorrow evening by the Fall River line. Twepty-two men will be taken.

HARVARD FOOTBALL PRACTICE

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 13.-The work of the Harvard football coaches to-day was principally directed to developing center plays, as the game with Amherst on Wednesday showed that the offen- sive plays around the ends were already pretty we'll executed. The backs and ends were practicing on points. B. C..
 Waters '94 had two teams of centers, guards and tackles lined up against each other and taught them how to break through. The varsity scored only one touchdown in each half against the second team. Most of the time was given to practicing center plays, in which Boal. left guard, was frequently sent through for considerable gains.

Course Of Training and Instruction at the
Annapolis Academy.
GLORIOUS RECORD OF THE INSTITUTION
Progress of n Cadet from the Fourth
Class to His Grnduntion-Stin
Examination nnd stern
Discipline.

The answer involves an account OF the
Naval academy Of Annapolis and OF the sys-
tenn OF education pursued In that justly IA
nous institution, which did not come into
existence under It's present name until 1850.
To George Bancroft. the historian, who was
secretary Of the navy under Polk, belongs
the credit and honor OF Its foundation; and
1t is a curious fact that he had no express
legal authority for his action. Back in the
"thirties,' the method OF obtaining officers
for the navy was by the appointment of lads
from twelve to thirteen years old to be mid
shipmen. These boys spent most of the
time at sea, learning the practical duties of
sailors and young officers. Before appear
ing for examinations that should prove their
qualifications to be commissioned, they re-
ceived instruction in navigation, etc, at diff
ferent places on shore from teachers APP
pointed for that purpose.
In 1S45, Mr.. Bancroft induced the War de-
partment to turn over to him the useless
old Fort Severn at Annapolis. There he
installed all the naval instructors, and,
without asking an appropriation from con-
gress, started q naval school. The utility
and necessity of the establishment gradually
became apparent to the legislature and, in
Omaha daily bee., 1898-06-12

1850, 1t was reorganized, placed on a foot
ing similar to West Point BOUNDED in
Washington's day., and called the Naval
academy. That reconstruction Of the old
naval school was one of the wisest and most
benefcent acts ever performed by con-
gress; for to il Is due in large measure, the
superb training Of the men who are in the
foremost positions of command in the
navy at the present time-the Deweys,
Simpsons, Evanses, McCallas, C%hadwicks,
Converses, Ludlows, Taylors and scores of
others.
Selection of Cadets.
The raw material for the manufacture of
the country's naval heroes and defenders Is
furnished by the president and members OF
r." .igress; that is to say, the selection of can
didates is by law vested in their hands.
Each congress district is entitled to have one
cadet in the academy, while to the president
ten appointments are given with an addi-
tional one for the District of Columbia.
The presidential appointments are generally
reserved for the sons of naval or army Off
GERS. many of whom have no fixed legal
residence. After a candidate has received
an appointment to the academy, he is Or
dered to report there early in May and, on
his arrival, is subjected to a rigid physical
examination. He must not be under Is
years of age or over 20. Then follows the
educational test. Although the qualinca-
fions required for admittanCe are far below
Those Of the leading colleges, not more than
go per cent OF those presenting themselves
succeed in passing. As a result the academy
never has at any one period the maximum
number Of cadets on its rolls. Those who
get through the ordeal must deposit $3.50

year, in any branch falls below that point is
set down as deficieH ct and -rnnot lie con,in-
ued in the academy, unless upcn the recon-
mendation of the Academic Board, which is
seldom made.
The discipline Is of the most rigid character
and the slightest infraction OF the rules and
regulations, which are legion, is punished
by SO many dement's. The scale of punish
ment for olfenses is graduated. For instance,
a cadet of the first class having more than
$50 dement's in this year is open to the
penalty of being dropped. A cadet of the
second class must not have more than 200,
a cadet of the third class more than $50, or
a fourth class man more than 800 dement's.
II he has he is reported to the secretary of
the navy as deficient in conduct" which
is as bad as deficient in studies.'
Nn-al SInng.
The Slang" of the cadet is different from
that of all other students, some words and
phrases having naturally a flavor of the sea.
Delay" for instance, the regular nautical
term for "tie" or "fasten," is used in the
same sense at the academy. To "biif" is to
do a thing well, ito bust" to
make n failure Femme means a young
lady," and to drag a femme means Ito
escort her to a hop Doggy is Annapolese
for "a SWELL" fierce expresses the super
lative degree of anything; wooden means
dull" while 'savez" is the synonym for
Intelligence" A stab is "a wild guess,
a bluff" a gag is a SLAM" and
"frenching" means "to go beyond the limits
of the academy without permission" ITO
fume' and Ito push both mean ito
smoke" while a tendency" signifies that
there is a favorable breeze or draft which
