RALPH TALBOT, JR.
Son Of Mrs. Fannie Talbot, Formerly of
Mexico, Passes West Point
Examination.

Ralph Talbot yesterday received q
telegram announcing that his son,
Ralph Talbot, Jr., had passed both
the mental and physical examinations
necessary for entrance to the National
Academy. This means that the boy is
already practically admitted to West
Point, although he will have to walt
in barracks until June Is before he
will be considered a cadet. This delay
is caused by the fact that he is not II
years old, the minimum age limit for
admission to the academy. AS it is,
he will enter as the youngest boy In
his class.
Ralph Talbot, Jr., was born In Dem
yer, June IS, 1884, and began his
studies at the Lincoln School. Later,
he entered the West Denver High
School, where, though he remained
only a year and half, he made good
records. Application for his admis-
sion to West Point from the First Con-
gressional District of Colorado was
made last March by Congressman
Lhasroth. Denver Republican.
