TER-COLLEG|ATE FENCING.
Tournament To Take Place At
The Naval Academy In
March-A Fine
Schedule.

One of the most interesting events
in the world of college athletics will
take place at the Naval Academy next
year, the annual tournament of the
Inter Collegiate Fencing Association.
The meet will take place some time in
March, but the exact date has not been
fixed. The institutions which are mem
bers of this association and will enter
teams, are Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
University of Pennsylvania, Columbia,
Cornell, West Point and Annapolis.
There is only one athletic event of
the year which assemblies the repre-
sentatives of more colleges and that Is
the annual field and track meet held
heretofore in New York city. Besides
this interesting event which will close
the fencing season, the Midshipmen
will meet in team matches the swords
men from most of the large colleges
and fencing clubs in the East. Con-
sequently more interest is being taken
than ever beofre in fencing and the
candidates are practicing daily under
Swordsmaster A. j. Corbesier and his
assistants, Messrs Heintz, Retz, and
Heinz, Jr. The latter has recently
been added to the corps of instructors
and is exceedinly expert, in fact,
men in the country.
The fencing season will begin about
the middle of the present month, and
one team contest has already been
fixed--that with the Baltimore Fenc-
ers' Club, December 10. Although no
other dates have been fixed, agree
ments for team matches to take place
at the Naval Academy have been
reached with Yale, Cornell, Prince
ton, University of Pennsylvania, tho
New York Fencers' Club and the
Seventh Regiment Of New York.
Matches are in the course of arrange
ment with Harvard, Columbia, the
Philadelphia Fencers' Club and the
Washington Fencers' Club. All these
matches will be held during Decem-
Der, January and February.
The candidates for the Midshipmen
team are now practicing regularly
under the team captain, Midshipman
r. r. Riggs. The members OF last
years team, besides Captain Riggs,
who are trying are Midshipmen Mauld-
in and Hilliard Other candidates
are Leary, Atkinson, jackson, Nelson,
Stanley, Utley and Dichman. The
latter is fourth classman and quite
an expert fencer.

NEW RULES FOR BIG GAME.
Future Army-Navy Contests
Should Be Regulated BY
Some Eligibility
Scheme.

Commander William Il. Halsey, Sec
retary of the Navy Athletic Associa-
tion, said few days ago that the un-
derstading of the Navy was that eligi-
bility rules of some kind are to govern
all future contests. 1t will be remem-
bered that the game for this year was
called off because the Army would not
agree to any rules of the kind, and the
Navy finally yielded to the great pub
lie desire for the game and played this
year unconditionally.
A conference of representatives of
the two institutions will be held short
ly and an attempt at an agreement
made. The members of the Navy con-
tingent have sufficiently recovered
themselves after the crushing defeat
on Saturday last to look the question
squarely in the face as to what can be
done to produce creditable showing
aginst the Army. A great many theo-
ries have been advanced to account
for the absolute outclassing of the
naval team, but everyone is at loss
to point out the real reason why foot
ball at Annapolis has been retrograd-
ing for three seasons at least.
The feeling here, however, is not
that the different conditions prevail
ing at the two institutions have made
Annapolis hopelessly outclassed, but
that Annapolis has for some years
been seized with one of those unac-
countable slumps, such as have affect
ed the University of Pennsylvania for
several seasons, and which this year
seems to have touched Harvard and
Cornell, and that West Point has dur
ing the same period been fortunate to
have had a number Of remarkable
players, such as Boyes, Daily, Torney,
Bunker, Riley, Graves, Farnsworth
and Hackett. The greater age of the
Army men, averaging two years, is a
real advantage over the Navy, as two
years at that period of life means a
vastly increased power of endurance
and self-control. But this will prob
ably soon be offest by the much larger
pick that the Navy will have.
There are now over six hundred stu
dents at Annapolis to about four hun
dred at West Point. Next year An
napolis will have over eight hundred,
and the following season, and there
after approximately, one thousand.
The Navy will only lose three of this
years players by graduation-Captain
Soule, Halsey and Oak. The great
problem of next season will be to find
the midshipmen who are really the
best players in the institution.

THE HOSPITAL CONTEST.
Management OF Institution To
Be Decided Next Mon
day-Great Inter-
est Mani
tested

The contest which has been going
on for the last six months between
the Board of Managers of the Annap-
oils Emergency Hospital and the Med
ical Staff over the management of the
institution in general and particularly
over the retention of Miss Nellie M.
Pusey as superintendent, whom the
managers wished to discharge, has
now taken another turn which prom
ises an exciting conclusion.
The members of the Medical Staff,
having lost in the lower court both
suits which they instituted in the Cir
cult Court for Anne Arunde county
for the purpose of asserting their right
to manage the institution and retain
Miss Pusey as superintendent, will
make an attempt to effect the election
Of . board Of managers who will act
with the Medical Staff. The election
will take place on Monday evening
next and both sides are at work with
all the ardor of political campaigners
to secure the election of members of
the board who will favor their re.
spective contentious.
Tho constitution of the Emergency
Hospital Association defines the men,
bership in that body to consist of all
citizens of Annapolis, Of either sex,
who shall interest themselves in the
workings of the institution to the ex-
tent of registering at the hospital and
paying the sum of twenty-five cents.
The members of the Board of Mana
gers, who are all women, became con-
vinced some days ago that the large
number of persons who were becoming
members in this way were friends of
the physicians of the Medical Staff,
and they are confident that the plan
was to have them vote for q board
who would act with the doctors and
restore Miss Pusey to the position she
held. The managers and their friends
have gone to work with will and a
large number of persons have regis
tered every day since who can be re-
lied upon to help the members of the
old board to reelection.
A number of the members, both of
the Board of Managers and Medical
Staff, represent large and influential
coteries Of relatives and friends. The
registration, it is believed, will con-
tinue at an increasing rate until the
election is held on Monday evening,
and in the meantime the hospital is
getting the benefit of considerable
increase Of revenue made up of the
quarters of the partisans of either side.

less than the work was done for formerly.
