handled the Army Navy football game

selves nndulv. tho hars fact may be
stated that this paper lid cover the

cd by none nf the afternoon papers
in New York or Philadelphia. while
is account Of the game as IL progress
ed was absolutely accurate and was
given to. the public, play by play,
within a few seconds of the time it
took place.
a special wire direct from Frank
lin Field with our representative Civ
ing the plays TO the operator, enabled
us, 10 do this. Then another operator
was right in our Office So that the
big event was handled in truly met
ropolitan style.
A dense crowd was In front OF the
Office from the time the preliminary y
reports began to come in NATL after
the game was over. and even then
groups remained and talked over the
events OF the wonderful game I'm An
napolls, there was great confidence IN
the team notw outstanding the forecasts
of the experts that the Army would
win. Still. when IL WIS seen from
the FIRST that the Navy was doing the
better work. and finally. when the re-
port OF the first score came in, the
crowd was - enthusiastic that IL
could hardly contain itself. In fact.
the front Of the Capital Office and the
bunch Of midshipmen at Franklin
Field were the most enthusiastic
places Ia the country Mt just at that
time.

II II felt here that no competent
critic will deny the right of Douglas
and Dague to- places on the ALI
American teams IN fact, the Navy
people are satisfied that these players
are the best In the country In their
positions. Douglas undoubtedly play
cd the best indiv iduaI game Of the
season on Saturday, while Dague' .

scription. II ~ also believed thas
Douglas designation as captain Of the
All-Amerlcan would be a proper one,
as he has shown pre-eminently the
qualities OF football general and
oRder. Northcroft and SlingluG are
lcortalnly not far behind the best in
their positions, nor Is Lange when
playing the game Of which he is cap
able.

II was remarkable how the game ae-
tually did follow the lines indicated
by our reports from Franklin Field
beginning an hour before the start Of
the game Just a. was forecasted.
the Army team found that IL could do
little or nothing towards piercing the
Navy sllne, and we're compelled 10 re-
sort To end running and forward pass

The selection Of a captain for the
team OF next year Is being discussed
though the election Will not take
place for some time. The choice will
he a hard one because there are so
many good men in next years class.
Those who WI be first classmen
next year are SlingIuff, center |;
I.Ange. quarterback; Northcroft, left
tackle; leighton, right tackle; De-
Mott, left end Jones, fullback. and
Wright, right guard. Chances prob
ably favor Lange. but SlingIun,
Northcroft, Wright and DeMott are all
possibilities. These seven regulars,
with stuart and Itobertson. who are
strong substitutes. will be a terrible
loss I'd the team when they graduate

INSTALLATION
 OF OFFICERS
Fl Centro MasOns Entertain Guests at Banquet An Enjoyable 0c-
 casiOn

An event long to be remem- bered in the local circle of Masonry was the constitution last Saturday night of the Masonic Lodge No. 384 here and the in- stallation of it's officers.
 The constitution and installation were both public and each Mas ter Mason had invited a friend to witness the imposing cere- mony incident to these occasions and MasonicHall was filled to it's full seating capacity.
 The ceremony was conducted by the Grand Lodge, and because of the honor thus conferred the Masons here feel particularly gratified, for at this time there were several larger places where the Grand Lodge might have shed it's benign presence.
 The hall had been beautifully decorated and the seats were ar ranged around the hall in such a manner as to enable each one present a clear and unobstruced view of the altar. Most Wor- shipful Grand Master George M. Perrine, Grand Senior Warden Cook, Grand Junior Warden s. M. Bixby, Grand Secretary J. M. Eshleman, Grand Marshal Wm. Kelly, Senior Deacon Dr. Baumgartner, Junior Deacon Dr. Toprahanian and Grand Tyler Adams were the grand officers present and the officers installed were: w. M., D. H. Chaplin; s. w., c. B. Brown; J. w., w. o. Hamilton; Treasurer, Edward Dool; Secretary, J. B. Baker; s. D., A. M. Shenk; J. D., H. H. Peterson; Marshal, John Norton; Stewards, J. L. Mcclure, A. F. Eckert; Tyler, w. P. Hamilton.
 After the constitution of the lodge and installation of the off, cers the members and their in- vited friends repaired to a sump- tuous banquet which had been prepared in the second story of the Blackinton building. Three long tables had been arranged and plates were laid for 200 guests. After the banquet Per- rine was introduced by D. H. Chaplin and for about half an hour he held his audience in rapt attention. With this the work and the pleasures of the evening were finished. The Masons could not help congratulating them selves upon the success of the event and the invited guests felt themselves honored at being present on such an suspicious oc- casion.
