Surgeons were called from the side lines Arti6cia
respiration started and continued to the end
The vast crowd bright colors and sad cadets filed
slowly from the grand stands The cheering ceased
and deep silence pervaded the field Few spoke, for
each realized what the other would say. The
pennants furled and night came the field.
A stretcher had been summoned and Byrne re-
moved to the cadet hospital. A hasty examination
revealed fractured neck and paralysis of the respra-
tory nerves.
Anxiously did the cadets wait for news At taps
that night reassuring bulletin from the hospital put
fresh hope into the corps Many were the prayers
that ascended to God that night that He might
their beloved classmate Few slept.
Through the long night artificial respiration con-
tnued. Only did Byrne regain consciousness.
He asked his father, who was sitting beside him,
Did we winf" That's the spirit he had and with
that spirit he left the earth. The next morning
Sunday just the reveille gun doomed a new
day, he passed peacefully and quietly into the Great
Beyond still carrying with him that corps spirit which
had helped him stop those terrific plays and which
was now helping him face his Maker with the words
We'll done" emblazoned on his soul.
For three days West Points football hero lay in
state He buried, with all the honors Of war in
the uniform for which he had given his life. Dry
eyes were few the last salute was fred and the
bugles played taps" the grave of the one who
nau eAenpnned What true corps spirit was.
In the year book Of the class Of 1910 there appears
the following beautiful tribute to Byrne:-
He lost his life in football game giving 1t for
our academy in struggle in which there was no
bitterness. What better death can Christian ask
than to die like this, fighting good fight?
Generous in his dealings sympathetic in his
friendship, lei was ideal classmate and comrade.
Devout in his religious principles, careful in his de-
rotions and life, he has given such example
that 1t is with pride to his at this our
graduation rolcan, Died on the field Of honor!"
The manner in which the football teams are backed
by the corps is also illustrated by the songs which
practised much that every man knows them
perfectly. There is song for every emergency. The
most famous Of these is which forms part of the
academy song, Benny Havens" It runs thus
"Then here's to you, Old Glory team,
That downs the strongest foes,
You're Benny Havens' stoutest sons
On you our hopes repose
On the mountains by old Hudson's shore
Your deeds have been our theme;
But victors defeated, men,
You're still the Army team.

game that you must win" The success Of football
season depends entirely the winning losing Of
the Navy game 1t is usually with dogged determi-
nation to do die that the Army team lines up with
its rival, the Navy.
Three years ago the Army was credited with having
a fighting chance to beat the Navy. 1t took that
chance and won. According to James j. Hogan, for
meriy Yale captain. '"The Army had the traditional
Army spirit That the spirit that enabled West
Point not only to hold OF but also to beat her rival"

graduation for officers in the most remote posts go to
the most extraordinary means to hear from this
game. Several years ago officer in the interior Of
one of the Philippine Islands rode fifty miles through
a country infested with Moros to get the of the
game and to carry it back to the other officers who
were fevershly awaiting his return. In the States all
the officers who possibly get leaves always at
tend the Navy game at Philadelphia. The spirit of
West Point is imbedded that grizzled haired
generals in full uniform watching the game.
Even the President and the Cabinet attend, for they
have caught the spirit from army officers. Any one
who has witnessed Army-Navy game can
never forget the spectacle Nor he forget the

Long Corps Yell" Old men, boys, wives and sweet
hearts can still remember the herceness with which
the cadets urged their team to the fray.
Their is a large bet placed at even money between
the two academies 1t is against the rules, but each
year several first classmen act betting commits
sioners All of the cadets get money, and sub rosa
place with the commissioners The money is taken
to Philadelphia in cigar box and after the game the
commissioners Of the two academies meet and settle
up. The bet is usually about $1,000 side. In 1905
about ten minutes before the corps left for the Navy
game, the commissioners received telegram from the
Navy men asking them for additional bet of $2OOO
The commissioners met in hurry and decided that
The telegram was answered in the affirmative, al

though to cover the bet they must borrow. They
trusted their team and that team won
The herceness Of this spirit is illustrated by the
terrific struggle physically for which West Point is
noted. No better example Of ferceness of play can
be drawn than The playing Of Cadet Eugene A Byrne,
who died on the football field In the fall of 1909.
The cadet team was playing the much heavier Har-
ward team. The stands lined with spectators

y When You meet the rovers Of the sea

But victory Is brightest gold
That you shall win that day."

The Army teams the pride and dream
OF every heart in gray,
The Army line you'll ever find
terror In the fray;
And when this team Is fighting
For the black and gray and gold,
We're always near with song and cheer,
And this is the thing we're told
On, brave old Army team,
On to the fray;
Fight to victory,
For that's the fearless Army way"
There is another little song that has been in the
corps for years which has tune all its own. 1t is-
away, away, away we go;
What care we for any foel
Up and down the field go
Just to beat the Navy"
In all Of the Army songs there are always some
words about the Navy that calculated put spirit
into the team The word navy" to a cadet in a foot
ball uniform has the same e1ect that lighted match
would have in a barrel Of gasolene The hope that
some day he might play football against the Navy
has kept many a cadet plugging the scrubs each
year.
In connection with playing the Navy there is a
superstition at West Point which is worth while men
tionng. There six companies in the battalion Of
B, C, D, E and F. A and companies
compose the "Flankers" and the other four the
"Runts." Each year, on the day before the Navy
game there is game called the "Runt-Flanker
game" 1t Is played between two teams chosen from

as they urged their team
to the fgbt. Harvard was
fighting desperately. For
forty minutes the Crimson
eleven had thrown itself
hopelessly against the ever
fighting cadets. The SOL
diers were playing on their
nerve. Time and time
again Minot, the powerful
Harvard fullback, was
launched against the army
line. Each time he was
thrown back.
The bulk Of the defence
had shifted on. Byrne at

In succession he stopped
Minot in his terrifi

his battle-the battle Of
life. After stopping the
third play Byrne remained
motionless on the ground.

demeanor He smiled and nodded urbanely and
chatted with light civilian informalty.

Suddenly he stopped and said explosively to nobody
in particular

Then he went on patrollng impersonaliy as before.

shoulder as she tmidly departed.
