FULL R|GGED MAST
THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN DOORS
IN THE WORLD.

Under the supervision of Commander
w. F. Halsey, head of the department
OF seamanship. there has been placed
in the new boat house at the Naval
Academy. the unique spectacle of full
sized mast. with all the sails, yards,
blocks and ropes. exactly as on a full
rugged ship. within four walls and under
one roof. 1t is stated by those at the
Naval Academy who have studied the
subject that it is the only one of the kind
in the world. There is large mast used
in Germany for purposes of instruction.
but it is out-of doors. and there IS a small
mast in building at Newport. but II Is
not nearly so large as the one here.
The mast which has been erected in
the boathouse is - feet in height. The
mast is for the purpose OF carrying on
the practical exercises in seamanship
during the winter, when it is impossible
to have the drills on the water. The mid
shipmen will 60 aloft on this mast, furl
and unfurl and stow the sails. send down
the different yards and put them back in
their places, aud go through all the ex-
ercises exactly as they were on board a
ship This viii be especially helpful to
the new fourth class. of over 800 mid
shipmeh These will have the advan.
tage of most practical course of in
struction before they try the same thing

MIDSHIPMEN OUTCLASSED.
The Washington And Jefferson
College Team Downs
Them BY Score
of I6 To o.

Saturdays game was disappolnt-
ment to many. The Navy thought
the midshipmen would win and even
the captain of the Washington and JEFF
ferson College team stated previous to
the game that he had no idea that his
team would be successful = 1t was,
however, and the Navy was defeated
by score of l6 TO O.
This defeat does not look very en-
couraging with the West Point game
less than three weeks off. 1t looks as
if the midshipmen cannot defeat any
opponent that plays fairly strong foot
ball. 1t was the first match of 4 the
season for Washington and jefferson
College with an Eastern team, but it
has made quite a reputation for itself
among colleges in Ohio yand Western
Pennsylvania. There was one score
in the first half, Plowett kicking a
goal from the field.
In the second half Plowett scored a
touchdown after consistent gains ON
line plunges, but missed the goal after
punt out. Five minutes before time
was called Captain Hayes blocked a
punt, recovered the ball and ran 90
yards for touchdown. Plowett kicked

account of their much stronger line.
Plowett was very good man in the
back field, but neither Eckells nor
Tanner, at the halves, made special
showing, and McDonough lost all but
once when he attempted his quarter
back runs in the last part of the game.
All the backs, however, held on to
the ball in good style. The play of
the Navy ends was superior to that of
the visitors, and it was notable that
although Plowett could outpunt either
Howard or Halsey, the Navy held its
own very well on an exchange of
punts, because their ends always
downed their receiver of the kick with
but little gain. The third and last
score was the most brilliant indi-
vidual play of the game.
Captain Hayes broke through and
blocked Halsey's punts. He also re-
coved the ball and ran go yards for
touchdown. Wilcox and Root pursued
him closely, and the former got him
just before he crossed right under the
goal The able captain, however,
hunched for the remaining yard and
got the ball over. Plowett kicked
the last goal.
The eleven of st. Johns College,
though suffering the worst defeat in
its football history, scored touch
dow on Virginia on Saturday after
noon, and Green kicked an easy goal.
Virginia ran up total of As points
in 40 minutes play The st. Johns
players were unable to make any
ganis except toward the close of the
second half, when Duval got away for
two pretty 30-yard runs in succession.
Marye's hurdling and running back
of a punt and the spectacular dashes
by Duval were the features.
