Chances of Dismissal.

About one hundred and twenty-five West Point
cadets members of the second class. in New

to the Academy to report from furlough. Two
things seemed TO interest the West Pointers about
equaIly-one the question Of hazing. and the
other whether not the Academy team could beat

IF there is any hazing this winter it will be by
members of the .youngster.' or third. class. The
reason say that is this: The third class men have
only been Academy for year. and gradu-

some Of them might be willing to take long chances

hint and leave them alone
The same man went on to say that he thought the
two senior classes might adopt resolutions agreeing
20 drop hazing- This would mean that upper
class man would report any attempt at hazns that
might come under his observation and this would
mean the death knell of the practice long as
these classes were at West Point, In explanation
OF this he said;
