UPPER GLASS MOGULS
Assume Authority Over Lovers
Lane-Fourth Class Men
Sit Elsewhere.

Usually on Sunday, as the time for
the one O'Clock formation approaches.
Lover 5 Lane, the most beautiful and
central portion OF the Academy grounds,
IS hlled with fourth classmen and their
lady friends and acquaintanees.
Not SO this week. however. The ar
nval OF fifteen upper claSsmen for re-eN-
aminauonS. part OF them mentally and
part physically. has transformed the very
appearance OF the institution. Not a
person was TO be seen IN these customa-
rliy well hlled walks "A sudden catas-
trophe appeared TO have taken oil every
midshipman OF the Academy.
Not one could be seen in any portion
of the grounds save near the upper gate,
where several venturesome ones held
converse with lady friend. The cause
OF this all was that the fourth class men.
although they number nearly as many
members as all three OF the other upper
classes together. have determined to CON
form themselves 10 the unwriiten rules
that obtain among the midshlpmen as TO
the rights. the privileges and the dlgni-
ties accorded to the several classes.
They therefore, Immediately upon the
arrival OF the upper classmen, vacated
the benches, Lovers Lane" and the
use of "Seamanship Walk. The benches
are the sole property of the first and
second classmen, and, although these
were placed at the end OF the walk
leading to quarters for all midshipmen,
none but the first and second class dare
occupy them. The first has the benches
to the left and the second to the right.
1t is when midshipman has been
year in the Academy that he can walk
in Lovers Lane, excepting and pro-
vided he has his mother with him. Then
the law abates. "SeamansMp Walk" re-
quires tutelage of two years before
midShipman is titted to walk there.

flower at full speed. The vessels were
IN close formation. Orders were sgnaled
from tue Decatur and the other vessels
IN the fleet to form a wedge.
In executing the order the Decatur
swung across the bow of the Barry. An
instant later the Barry rammed her on
the starboard side. As the ships were
running at speed of 20 knots, the blow
was tremendous. The Decatur listed
sharply TO port. and seemed to be in
serious distress. From the Maytlower

but were not lowered, as the Decatur
was seen to right herself. In few
minutes she hoisted a signal of mo
serious damage done.
Later she steamed alongside the Nav

that while his ship had received a bad
bump on the starboard quarter, she was
not materially damaged. The injury was
plainly evident from the deck Of the
Mayilower. She had been struck about
halt way between her stern and midship.
and large dent had been made in her

but otherwise the vessel was intact. The
Barry, which had struck the Decatur
