handling of the ball was almost impossible There
were many fumbles by both sides and the puntins
was very uncertain In the second half a poor
punt by Surles gave the visitors a chance TO try
a place kick from the 25-yard mark but Whalen
fumbled the slippery ball.
Another poor Army punt placed Colgate In posi-
ton to try goal from placement. but Waites's
effort fell short Colgate unable to penetrate
the Army line, and what gains IL made came
from end runs and well executed forward passes
The Army depended almost entirely upon line
plunges for ground gaining.

tried in tho backfed- The midshpmen also put IN
substitutes freely and played nearly two elevens
during the game.
Under the circumstances It Is hardly surprising
that the not bigger. The encourag
ing feature about the game from the Nays
standpoint was the ability the men showed to frus-
trate the forward pass. West Virginia tried this
play repeatedly. and with hardly exception a
Navy man was on hand to grab the ball ON the
other hand, the West Nirginians equally
Cessful In blocking similar plays OF the Navy.

astrous results that his poor handling of the ball

little Navy quarter that while he fumbed badly

The feature play OF the game was made by Shell

basis of the agreement reached at the

Mayor Schmitz and the members of

congress, abolish the oriental schools

The president and Secretary Root

nights are required for the interpreta-
ton Of the opera on account of the dit
ficult character of the music. Six prfma
donnas and half dozen leading male
singers will alternate from evening to
evening in the principal roles.
OF the prima donnas who will sing in
Spokane, one is of foreign birth and
FIVE are native born American singers.
The foreign artist is Eliza Szamosy,
whose success in the title role OF
Madam Butterfly" when offered at
the Royal Opera at Budapest, Hungary,
led to Puccini's recommendation that
she be engaged by Mr.. Savage for his
American production of the opera. The
five Americans include Miss Florence
Easton, one Of the great coloratura
prima donnas Of the opera at COvent
Garden, London; Rena ViVienne, also
strongly endorsed by Puccini; EsteIIe
Bloomfield, from the Royal Opera az
Dresden; Harriet Behnee, from the
court theaters of Berlin, and Ethel
Houston, who was singing abroad be
fore joining Mr.. Savage's company, all
American born but all successful
abroad.
Many of our citizens are taking .
lively interest in the opera, and several
large parties are being organized to
visit Spokane, especially to hear tho
beautiful Nine. Butterfly. Mail orders
can be sent in now for seats for any OF
the three performances, two nights ana
a matinee given on Tuesday. The box
office sale Of reserved seats opens on
Thursday morning, February 81, at the
Spokane theater.
