ARMY team has fought SO many hard
battles. the cadets dragged the stages,
singing battle songs and cheering the
men. I'VE want Philoon.' yelled the
cadets. and the Army captain was hoisted
to the top of the stage amid cries for
speech. When he could make himself
heard Phioon said: Fellows this Is a
great day for me. | want to say that II
the corps of cadets will show the same
spirit that they have shown this year and
come to the support of Capt: Pullen next
year In the same manner as YOU nave
aided me this year. it will be many years
before there will be another Navy vic
tory
AS usual. the new captain of the team
for next year was elected on the home
ward trip. and Dan Pullen. the big right
tackle was unanimously elected, TO lead
the team next year.
Pullen is the first cadet appointed to
West Point from Alaska and is a member
Of the second class. Out of the eighty
five members he stands number nine In
order of general merit. Before coming
TO West Point Pullen was prominent in
foot ball at the University of Washingt on
He PLAYED on the West Point team during
his plebe year until he was hurt in the
Princeton game two years ago Up 10
three weeks ago he was assistant with the
coaching, and it was not thought he would
be able to play in the Navy game. but
with his knee properly braced he played
a star game last Saturday. Pullen Is
twenty-three years old. weighs 1871 pounds
and stands six feet and one inch IN height

So sure were the middies of victory that
they brought the ball to Philadelphia with
their IN. A." already painted upon it
ready to receive the score and be placed
with their other trophies. When this was
displayed by the cadets it was signal
for an outburst that fairly shook the old
academy.

COLLEGE SWIMMING
COMES TO THE FRONT

NEW YORK, November 30.-Swimming
is to pay an important rote in college
athletics this year. Judging from the un-
usually large number of men who an
swered calls for candidates. Pennsylvania
is the most advanced Of the six colleges
forming the intercollegiate league-Penn-
sylvania, Princeton. Yale, Harvard, CO.
lumbia and College of the City of New
York-and her team bids fair to repeat
its victory of last spring in the round
robin tournament that will award the
pennant of 1909.
Capt. Sylvester has resigned his posi-
ton as leader and j. H. Dalrymp!e has
been elected to succeed him. Among the
pillars of the Quaker team are ]. X.
Shryock. intercollegiate 220-yard record
holder; Graham of last years relay team
Zieber and Chapman. who have all won
honors for the Red and Blue in the past.
At Princeton things are also well under
way. Wheaton Chambers, the 1OO-yard
record holder, has assumed the captaincN
and he does not intend to allow seaweed
to cling to his feet. He can count on
Denniston. the 50-yard champion; Parke,
the fancy diver, and Bamman, Woher and

ting Lawrence and McLanahan, who were
ineligible, and Dawbarn and Janeway.
the former one Of the fastest fifty-yard
ers at college. Yale is less advanced, ow-
ing principally to the fact that 1t is
New Haven habit TO mplant rudiments
thoroughly before attempting any fast
work. Still the report that Stoddard went
go yards in minutes and 40 seconds and
that Capt. Richards is travelling the CEN
fury under ! minute and seconds shows
that the squad is not idle. Beatty, the
intercollegiate plunger, will again defend
his title this year. and Hyde. Bull Steven
son, Moses. Goodhue, Starr and Jewett
will be out for the swimming events.
Some good material is also being devel-
oped from the entering class.
At Harvard they are looking forward
to an unusually bright season, because of
the great form of Capt. Wilmington. The
anky Australian has beaten the 30. 100,
and 30 yard records in practice and is

Columbia prospects do not look very
rosy. The general athletic apathy at the
Morningside institution has not failed to

More records were broken last Friday
night in the Carroll Florist set. McLen-
nan went Cox three worse and got 100.

Len Collins proved the most consistent
performer Friday night on Carroll Insti-

of picks. and the other breaks were splits.
Bowlers who attended the Carroll and

as they get next to the alleys.
