Westerns.

game the former was declared the winner
by the score of II to ).
Nearly a thousand spectators gathered
inside the Enclosure of the park and cheered
their favorites on with the different school
rallies or cries. The first goal was gained
by the Centrals in about six minutes, the
ball being rushed repeatedly down the field
in Irresistible lunges and finally landed the
pigsktn in the coveted territory. The West
ems then pulled themselves together, and,
after several fruitless tries, almost repeat
ed the Centrals' performance of rushing
the ball down the field. the ball being
wriggled over the line just as the whistle
blew for the ending OF the first half, the
score standing 5 to 5. neither side kicking

goal in the second half, while the Westerns
were played to a stahdstill and prevented
from scoring, the final figures being IL to 5

fought manfully for victory, but were out
classed in weight and sprintlng ability by
the Centrals, and in addition the team

opponents. Very little "kicking was in
obliged in by thehplaydrs of either side, Ref

ty-two years old he passed all through the
Porto Rican campaign of the Spanish
American war as private in the 9TH Com

He won distinction and honorable mention
from his superior officers for GOODNESS and
gallantry at the battle of Aibonita Pass,
where he had charge of an outpost tele-
phone station. The station was wrecked
during the battle by a Spanish shell. He
was under a calling fire for three hours.
and narrowly escaped death. He was ap-
pointed to a lieutenancy last July by the
President. He says:
I'VE left San Francisco dock with colors
flying, and the band playing national airs.
The wharf was crowded with friends of
the would-be warriors and we passed
the battle ship Iowa the crews were both
paraded uncovered, and came to attention.
On passing out through the Golden Gate,
We took one last look back al Gods coun-
try, and said, for a while at least good
bye We had on board the 33d Infantry and
officers, three companies of the 32d and Of
ficers; eighteen signal men and one off,
Ger, and one vitascape man. The quarters
both for men and officers are very fine
The men have shower baths, tiled floors in
the wash rooms, plate glass mirrors and
marble stationary washstands. Everything
is fine, comfortable and healthy.
THE meals at the officers table are very
fine. The transport is run like big hotel

deck, watching the white-flecked, deep blue
water rushing by, cid listening to the band

on big Sunday school excursion down the
Chesapeake.
I'VE expect to stay in Honolulu about
three days, and are therefore looking for
