er, and forced DAILY back of his own
goal line for safety.
In the second half West Points goal
was never in danger. while they duph-
Gated their performance of the firsk
half and kicked both goals.
Society Out in Force.
AS a football contest 1t may. without
speaking disparagingly of either team,
be called mediocre, but as a society
event it was a gigantic success. There
were distinguished guests from both
fighting departments of the govern
ment and prominent citizens from
nearly every section of the United
States. Former President and MRS.
Cleveland occupied q box on the army
side, and close to them sat Miss Alice
Roosevelt, on whom every attention
was showered.
The box occupied by Miss Roosevelt
was directly in front of the section oc-
cupied by the West Point cadets. Her
sympathies were plainly with the army
boys, but, perchance as a balm for The
navy lads, she was becOmingly attired
in a navy blue gown. The president
was prevented from attending the game
because of the press of official business.
and Secretary Root of the army de-
partment was unable to be present be-
cause of the serious illness Of mis- Ia
ther-in-law.
