DUAL FENCING CONTEST
Possibility That Navy Will Fence
With The Army.

4 dual fencing contest with foils be-
tween the West Point and the Naval
Academy fencing teams seems quite
possible this season. II is probable
that a navy team viii go TO the an
nual intercollegiate tournament in
New York in March, where it could
meet the army team, but if this is not
done. then dual match win be ar
ranged with the West Point lads.
Midshipman Grattan G. Dichman,
OF Bernita, Ga, first class, who cap
tanned the navy trio last year, will
again lead the team. Although Cren-
shaw, Stover and other good fencers
have graduated, there are a number
of last years substitutes available
this season, and good nucleus is on
hand for the development of a strong
team.
Midshipman Laurence III. Austin.
of Chicago, H., manager of the fenc-
ing team, is arranging the most exten-
sive schedule of contests that the
middies ever had. lie has sent out
challe enges TO the following teams Co
lumbia University, Harvard, Cornell,
PENNSYLVANIA. New York Turnverein,
Melrose Turnverein. of New York
the New York Athletic Club and the
Philadelphia Feneers' Club. The
middies are now engaged in active
practice under the instruction of Prof.
a. j. Corbesier, swordmaster of the
Academy, and expect TO open the sea-
son about the middle of December.

THE QUEEN OF WHITE SLAVES
A Thrill a Minute, The Bill Last
Night at The Colonial
Theatre

a combination Of bad weather. and
attractions elsewhere last evening
kept largo number OF Annapolis
theatre-goers from seeing an old-fash-
ioned melodrama OF the rip-roarinn
type. Those That did attend. however.
pounded their~hands sore over the
virtues of the hero and the heroine
and hissed like 4 leaky steam boiler
at the baseness Of the villain. There
was plenty Of comedy, too, and some
of IL intentional.
The story is too complicated to be
more than barely outlined. bat it
seems that beautiful and wealthy
girl of the Mob Hill aristocracy in
San Francisco is abducted by an
American opium smuggler to grace
the harem of Chinaman. In this
operation the hero gets sand d-bagged
and the hcroins's brother shot. but
both recover sufficiently TO get enroll
ed as seamen on board the China
mans yacht, wherein lies he~horoine
in durance vile. As the brother
shows symptoms of dying, the un-
mitigated villain has him tossed over
board in mid-ocean.
The hero promptly dives over, miss
twonty-thirt hero that he is. swims
boldly across tho Pacific TO the very
port where the yacht anchors. Here
he smells out the eonspirators. gets
caught, misses being tortured and
then throws away ths chance OF his
life to pot all the scamps in the play.
II is decreod, however, that the
fearful heroine shall suffer one act
moro before virtue gets its reward.
The curtain goes down ut last on a
general killingbee.
Between acts as before there we're
vaudeville features, all of which
were warmly received. Possibly no
part of the entertainment pleased the
audience so we'll as hearing itself
sing the chorus of sentimental
ballad executed by Miss Bronridge.
It was also grateful TO the same artist
that she did not render again Alice,
Where Art Thou Going, for that
particular song with the same pic
lures, was sung every night at the
theatre last week.

Navy Practices Despite Weather
Conditions.

The practice of the mids hipmen s
football team was held at the Naval
Academy yesterday afternoon in alter
nate tlurrics of snow and showers Of
rain. Although the team was not
driven very hard, yet there was some
excellent practice in handling the
ball in the lineup and on punts the
coaches being mindful of the fact that
the Army game might happen upon
just such conditions.
Bernard, who has been suffering with
n bad ankle for nearly month, is
back in !. the game, and Meyer, who
played guard regularly up to thres
weeks ago, viii probably be out to-
morrow. Though both Of these men
have been out of the game SO long
that they will probably not get in
the lineup against the Army at the
beginning Of the game, they viii be
reliable substitutes Bernard for half
back and end and Meyer for guard
The change Of Peirsol to left guar
and Norlhcroft to left tackle will be
permanent. but Magruder and Simp-
son are still fighting il out for the
other tackle.
