lations forbldding betting. and placed
various sums Of money on the outcome
Of the Army-Navy football game at
Philadelphia, the Naval Academy gen

many Of the midshipmen fear serious
consequences. That there was betting
on the game to greater or less degree

the matter has not been taken UP d.

Ing left In the hands OF the department
Of discipline and the midshlpmen Of tho
FIRST class, from whom the cadet officers
OF the brigade are drawn.
Betting Strongly Opposed.
At the office Of the superintendent It
was stated this morning. that Captain
Gibbons is absolutely opposed 10 the
m,dshiprpcn betting. and ihtehds 10
take forcible measures against any
rnidshipman found to have transgresscd
the regulations on this point.
Four midshipmen, members OF the
fourth class. who are under charges of

The charges embrace some OF the cic-
