SAN FRANCISCO, November 90
Word has been received from Los An

old yacht La Paloma. The good YES

which is not to be COMPOUNDED with
the schooner yacht now sailing in Ha-
waiian waters. The members Of the

member the La Paloma as con-
nected with the early history of the

that 1T is feared that the good old

him down hard on the five yard line.
The teams tined up for a supreme eff
fort. Dean was given the ball and
plunged into the crouching army men
for a good gain, leaving only a few
inches between the ball and a touch
down. He was again intrusted with

mediately punted out of danger, but
the Navy came back with a fine eXhi-

Lange, who ran 20 yards; by Clay,
and more often by Richardson, until
it was inside the 10 yard line.
LANCE KICKS FIELD GOAL.
Here the army braced, and having
four yards to gain to make the first
down, the navy decided to try a field
goal, which proved easy for Lange
from the Is yard line.
In the first half of the second pc
riod of play the ball was always in
the Navy territory Finally the army
lost the ball on an onside kick, Lange
making a pretty scoop and run of 10
yards to his own 80 yard mark. He
followed this up with 20 yard run
to midfield and then the tide of battle
turned to the army's side of the-field,
where it waged throughout the re-
mainder of the half.

the Navy began to play desperately to
get within striking distance to kick
a field goal and top the West Point
score, but the army continued to take
the ball away from danger Thus the
strife continued until Field Judge
Marshall raised his hand and declared
the game at an end.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.-In one
of the f1ercest football games seen on
Franklin field this year the army van
pushed the navy this afternoon by a
score of to 4, a touchdown and a
goal against a goal from the field
Thirty thousand persons saw the
husky cadets conquer the sturdy mid
shipmen in a contest that never lag
ged. That the naval boys were sur
prised at the unexpected strength Of
the army is putting it mildly; they
were fairly overwhelmed with the pow
er shown by the cadets. The Anna
polls boys entered the game practi-
cally sure of victory, while the cadets
only hoped to win.
The armys victory, notwithstanding
the strength shown, was due more to
misjudged punt by one of the Nays
backs than to the good work of the
team. but it took advantage of the
misplay and lost no opportunity in
making the score. The navys -four
points, however, were earned by hard
and constant playing.
The teams were as evenly matched
as it was possible to make them. The
defensive playing of both teams was
all that could be desired, so powerful,
in fact, that neither team could make
much impression on it's opponents
line, and in consequence they both
played a kicking game.
PLENTY OF PUNTING.
There was more punting in today's
game than has been seen on Franklin
field this season. Two forward passes
and two onside kicks were the only
so called modern plays attempted, and
of these only one forward pass by the
navy was successful.
The day was ideal for football and
brilliant crowd was out to see the
| fray. On the south stand, the army
side, Secretary of War Wright enter
| tanned a large party, while directly
opposite, on the navy side, Acting Sc
cretary of the Navy Newberry had a
large number of guests. Prominent
in Secretary Wright's box were Repre-
sentative and Mrs. Longworth. Assis-
tant Secretary of War oliver saw the
game with a party from a box adj
joining that of Secretary Wright.
Miss Ethel Roosevelt cast her for
tunes with the navy and had seat
in the Enclosure reserved for Newberry
and his wife. Among others in this
box were Mrs Metcalf, wife of the re-
firing secretary of the navy, and a
number of friends. To their right was
the box of Admiral Dewey.
All the scoring was done in the early
part of the first half. The army kick
ed off and the navy returned the ball
after one scrimmage. The West
Point boys then tried the line for no
gain and Greble punted. LANCE, the
little quarterback, came across the
field at great speed to catch the punt,
and to the dismay of the midshipmen
he overran the ball, which struck the
ground behind him at the 40 yard line.

co A FIZZLE

SAN FRANCISCO, December l. -
Joe Lahey and Charlie Reilly both
returned recently from Honolulu,
fought their usual damageless fight,
only this time it was for fifteen rounds
instead of the six-round affairs in
which they appeared in the palmy
days of the amateur fighters" Need
less to say, the fight was draw and
with no one hurt. the two fighters
must have been thoroughly satisfied
even if the crowd considered it bit
tiresome.
Neither man showed a punch, but
as a sparring match pure and simple
it was a pretty exhibition. Lahey new
er was a punisher, and Reilly was
little better last night.
Lahey and Reilly fought too eau
tiously to make anybody's blood curl.
The latter had the advantage of reach
and skill with both hands, but he was
unwilling to wade in and mix it at
short range. This cost him the de-
cision. -" q Sss'l
Lahey showed far superior knowl-
edge of the game, and whenever Reilly
came near him, which was seldom, he
met his man clean and tapped him
hard. Reilly contented himself with
dancing around and shooting one In
whenever he saw chance. The de-
cision OF Referee Billy Roche was well
received by the crowd.

What other city is there of like size
which matches New York in position?
1t is seaside city; the salt water
laves its feet As the traveller ap-
proaches it be thinks of Venice rising
from the sea or is perhaps reminded Of
ancient Tyre, which "stood out in the
sea as a hand from a wrist and Of
which the houses were impressively
tall. Impressive" is not too indulgent
word for the skyscrapers Of New
York-clean faced, simple, original and
audac1ous, they are characteristic of
the land and Of the people. They are
not ugly concessions to utility. but a
rather grand adaptation of architec-
ture to circumstances. The ancients.
harassed with dread of piracy, would
not have dared to build a city like New
York on the edge Of a great harbor
open to the sea. 1t is something which
the modern world alone could have
given us.-London Spectator.

The Ananias Story

Go to church and hear the pastor. in
his pulpit large and wide, tell about
the dread disaster that overwhelmed
the man who lied. 1t was Colonel
Ananias, who in days long dead and
gone, shocked his neighbors (who were
pious) when he put the truth in pawn,
All, be took the truth and hauled it
through the cinders and the slack, and
be slugged it. and he mauled it, and he
split it up the back; so some bears
came up and ate him, at the prophets

hate him as they march adown the
land. He was cast into a furnace that
was full Of coal and wood, and he NUT

that we are able, camp in heaven by

The Commencement.

The word commencement" enables
orators in frcck coats to tell beautiful
young ladies in white organdie that
the extinction of the academic era
marks the commencement of their
real lives" Maybe you have heard
them and witnessed the thrill with
which the notion was received by
blushing maidenhood. 1t is a stupen-
dous thought, bullying with originality,
and l suppose it is mean to NEEDLE
with it, even though one knows how
that use Of the word commentator
began" if you prefer. In the old
days degrees or diplomas were not
granted in June. They were granted
in September, and the seniors of yes
teryear were forced to reinvade the
academic shades to acquire them at
the commencement Of the new term.
After awhile it dawned upon our insti-
tutions Of learning that the arrange
ment necessitated undue bother, SO
they moved the commencement" ex-
ercises back across the vacation and
put them at the end of the year. How
ever, they neglected to rechristen them,
and oratory has gained much by that
inspired versight-Boston Transcript
