The day was ideal as TO weather.
Many enjoyed the day horseback rid
ing. others cunning.
The outward manifestations of the
day were all backed by the general
feeling of satisfaction with the past,
contentment of the present and secur-
ity for the future. The knowledge of
growing peace abroad and perfect hav-
mony and goodwill at home. and of
abundant harvests and wonderful pros
perity made the day one of Thankgiv-
ing in fact. The prisoners at the Jail
were given an extra dinner yesterday
by Sheriff Hardy. While it did not
include turkey, other fowl was on the
menu with vegetables, and pie for de-
sert.
The Colonial Theatre was well pat

afternoon and INDUCED in q little prac-
tice work.
The usual crowd of distinguished
officers of the Army and Navy Is OK

his attendance. but the Secretary of

attend the game, along with numerous
other officials Of the several depart

diately after the close of the game.
There promises to be more betting
this year on the result of the contest
than for several years past. There is q
strong feeling among the supporters of
the Navy that the Annapolis boys
have a fair chance of winning, and
thus balancing up in some slight meas
ure the series of defeats they have sus-
tanned at the hands of the West Point
ers for several years past. The Army.
however. is a decided favorite and
some of its most ardent admirers are
Offering odds that the Navy will not be
able to score. The Pennsylvania au-
thorities were so greatly pleased with
the result of their plan last year to
get rid of the evil of ticket scalpersHand
the general dissatisfaction of many
persons who did not receive invitations
in former years, that its allotment of
tickets will again be sold and the pro-
ceeds given to charity. Exclusive of
the boxes, which line both sides of the
field, there are trifie over Is. 600 seats
to be disposed of. These have been
equally divided between the Univer-

HOME PLAYERS DISPLEASED
WITH UNKIND TREATMENT
AT LAUREL.
The Local Team Victorious Over
Their Opponent By Score
of 8 To o.

The Annapolis players are loud in
their denunciation of the treatment
received at the hands of Laurel.
From the time they set foot in Laurel
until they left for home they were
treated with great discourtesy. They
were left to find their own room, which
they finally succeeded in getting after
wandering around the town for about
an hour, by renting room in a hotel.
From the time the referee blew his
whistle for play to start until the end
of the game the Laurel players pro-
umpire and played the toughest, dirt
lest game they knew how. Almost
every rush there was halt over deci-
sion or fight, and this delayed the
game very much. The spectators
crowded the field, making it impos-
sible TO make any end runs or effect
any trick plays, and when requested
to clear the field so that the players
could carry on the game properly, it
was met with threat to fight.
The Annapolissboys say they could
have easily scored 20 or more points if
the field had been cleared of specta-
tors. The climax to the roughness
came in theNsecond half, when one of
the Laurel players took exception to o
decision OF the umpire, Mr.. George
Quaid. of Annapolis. and deliberately
struck him in the face. This was
followed by other players and gen.
eral fight ensued, in which Mr..
Quaid was badly used up. Order,
however, was finally restored, and
the game was proceeded with.
The Annapolis Athletic Club and
rooters journeyed over to Laurel for
its first game of football since its or
ganization and came home with the
first scalp of their football opponents
The game was an unusually rough
one, abounding in disputes and fights.
Laurel started the game by kicking
off to Annapolis, who received the
ball on the 15-yard line, and ran 10
yards more before being. downed. By
straight line plunges the ball was
carried steadily, after exchanging
hands several times, to the 4-yard
line, when Strohm was shot through
right tackle for the first and only
touchdown. Jones kicked an easy
goal After this the ball was always
in Laurel's territory, the half ending
with the ball in the possession of An
napolis on Laurel's 40-yard line.
Annapolis started the second hall
by kicking off to Laurel, who were
downed after advancing the ball 10
yards. Neither goal was in danger
during the half and the game ended
with the ball in possession of Laurel
on Annapolis 20-yard line. The
lineup was:
